It's official: I'm making a second channel! this channel will focus on uchicago, college lifestyle, gap year, personal projects; and the second channel on college applications and essays will be more educational and devoted to answering y'all's questions / going over the livestream submissions :)

[@niviachilds-english3784]

YAYY

[@sokeemseat5781]

Yes ☺️☺️

[@gracel3249]

Just got into UChicago EA, I'm a UK student deciding between UChicago and Cambridge... still don't know which to choose ahhh!!

[@45kids11]

In case people are wondering, I am a UChicago student and student athlete who has been made privy to the grading scale through coaches. The scales are A,B,C; 1,2,3; and X,Y,Z. The highest score is an A,1,X.

[@randomcat5262]

This literally is the perfect feeder for conspiracy theories about admissions. 1. No comments aside from categorical grades 2. Cryptic grade systems (numeric for one, letter scale for another) 3. Blank sections 4. The suspicious change from "probably admit" to "admit" 5. Took 1.5 months to send this nearly useless report. 6. "Intellectual"

[@bebeerin]

going from "probably admit" to "admit" isn't suspicious. during the initial round she was placed in the "probably admit" category of applicants and during the application's final review she was voted to be admitted

[@caitlingee642]

her: gets a yes on intellectual also her: bruh idek what that means

[@Patrick_OBrien]

Options: □Admit □Kinda Sus □Deny

[@miar3721]

ㅁsafe ㅁkinda sus ㅁeject

[@tinawillow]

@@miar3721 was an imposter.

[@abbybrooke05]

i’m really surprised they didn’t write more! their grading system is also very interesting

[@aa-zq2fr]

I just googled "Uchicago admissions file" and theres some blog posts with other students whose files have a lot of writing- maybe after a few years they wipe the comments? I saw a Stanford vid that said that

[@noahnaranjo2900]

Just finished my first week at UChicago, and I’m definitely excited for what’s to come! Initially wanted to major in anthropology but you’ve definitely played a part in my decision to switch to Econ instead 📚

[@kathyye6283]

That’s pretty informative! I’ve watched some admission file review videos and UMich would literally grade their students for admission or not. Keep the great work!

[@soniachang5205]

0:07 awwww feel so honored 🥰 And we all hope the "see you very soon" is actually soon

[@cathyzuo2112]

yayy so happy to see you back too!! super looking forward to seeing you again soon but pls pls take care of yourself too!!

[@jessieliang8158]

glad to see you back~❤️🥰 (gonna watch it after class)

[@dreamangel6580]

I found your channel really late....but I am glad that I found you....you are just awesome.. I wish you could upload a vlog of your high school routine...that would be beneficial for us...Or could you please do a video for high school student answering these questions listed below: 1. How to choose subjects? 2. Is it possible to do MUN even when you are in science stream? 3. University applications 4. PSAT, SAT, TOEFL and more 5. What should be the routine for a high schooler? 6. Things to do in high school 7. Things not to do in high school Please answer these questions....well our batch is unlucky due to pandemic we can't do much outside so could you recommend how to make this quarantine more productive.... And yes thanks for all your videos..you deserve more subscribers

[@md.jahirulislam5512]

It helps a lot! Any suggestion for test-optional Fall '22 international applicants? Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@tasbihaliaqat4062]

Any tips for applying for Postgraduate programs in Oxford or other Russell Group Universities.? I plan on applying for MSc Accounting and Finance.

[@nn-rp9yg]

Can't wait to see this!

[@nn-rp9yg]

This was really interesting to see! Thank you for uploading :)

[@diegosuchenskiloustaunau9232]

not me being here 9 hours early 🧍‍♂️

[@barbararup5479]

Hi, can a denied applicant ask for this or only a current student?

[@jackr8056]

a second channel for looking at our submissions would be so COOL but i also don't want you to be overworked. don't mind me, just 6 hours early...

[@junhoson9395]

0:47 So you use Spark

[@NandiniAmitBhattacharya]

Do you think they really read your essays in the first round? Or do they judge you based on the rest of your profile first and then your essays are used to decide between you and someone else you may be in competition with? I have already applied ED to UChicago so now I am just really anxious about getting in.

[@star1light100]

Did you get in?

[@piotrekmilan]

Did you get in?X2

[@anonymous7851]

Highly likey comments were stripped - find it hard to believe no one had any comments unless the application is just a no-brainer or glarely awful. Even in the first scenarios, some might note to decline because the student is unlikely to accept. It's just a liability for them - they can't keep who's on the admission counsel entirely underwraps and as much as people don't like to admit, admissions has a human element. Why your app resonated with some counselors and not others is hard pinpoint and if they released the comments... hello lawsuit.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

Yeah, hard to believe there were no comments. And especially since they made her wait 1.5 months before viewing is very suspicious.

[@alittlesliceofrye4617]

awesome video:)))

[@bobert1236]

How do you get this???

[@yujimao0622]

chloe u are such a fun and smart gal i wish i could meet you in person and be friends!!! I like all your videos, you are inspiring, down-to-earth, quirky and creative! Love your energy

[@kublaila1567]

Does this mean they are less likely to admit if you apply for financial aid?

[@DoctorFancy_SinceForever]

No. Definitely apply for financial aid!

[@zacharyertengrass892]

Never seen you so happy. You sure you want to go back?

[@kyanite4818]

Can you post the email you wrote to the admissions people? I want to see my application too but don’t know how to ask. Thanks.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

Just ask. You don't need to give a reason. It's your right under FERPA.

[@Vincent-ds3kc]

I don’t know why UChicago sends out advertisements when they are really popular

[@bpxl53yewz29]

They want more applicants to brag about their low acceptance rate. That's how it works.

[@connie0613]

Random comment, it’s almost your birthday :)))

[@systemloading45]

You really have changed a lot since you went to Uni.

[@japanesebeachboy6778]

I found her accent is getting close to American in comparison with its few years ago.

[@sct4040]

International students pay full tuition, therefore, probably admit.

[@chimaobiamanchukwu6904]

Attending Uchicago in the fall hoping so I’m guessing I got the intellectual

[@chimaobiamanchukwu6904]

@The Iguana what do you plan on majoring in?

[@deepdockproletarianarchive4539]

Be careful putting your name, school and birthday on screen, that's a surefire way to get doxxed!!

[@fortisfortunaadiuvat9262]

If your still at the school please speak up to ask the school to remove Rebeca journey as an instructor as she is a racist

[@maxgoetzmann8681]

sussy baka

[@a.g.4843]

Chloe in german is pronounced Klo which means toilet....
