Students in the College are empowered to engage with challenging ideas and encouraged to express themselves freely in the small, discussion-based courses of our interdisciplinary Core curriculum. UChicago’s location in the historic residential neighborhood of Hyde Park provides students with the best of two worlds: a comfortable home in a neighborhood with a college-town feel, and easy access to a world-class city.

[@TheOrangeneck]

Reading all these comments by younger kids makes me all mushy. I remember watching this video a lot in 10th grade, dreaming of coming to UChicago. I will be entering as a first-year in the College next week. Some dreams come true, folks.

[@ellaa7985]

Hey, you must have graduated by now, how was it? XD

[@luisishere987]

[@uchicagoadmissions]

Hey there! Thanks for your interest. It's a great idea to start researching colleges early. As you learn more about life after high school, feel free to stay in touch! We're happy to provide admissions tips and more info on UChicago.

[@futureepidemiologist4661]

Hello! My name is Leona, and I am 12 years old. I was determined to go to an Ivy League school because my cousin went to Yale and is now a doctor. I used to want to go to Yale, but then I found this college! I want to attend University of Chicago very badly. I want to major in Epidemiology, and I know that I can't get accepted into University of Chicago unless I try really hard. So, what my mom, dad, and I do is buy some workbooks from the store and study really hard every Saturday and days off of school. Hopefully I will attend there in the near future! Biggest smiles, Leona M.

[@fifthgear93]

+Future Epidemiologist It's great that you have planned out your life so early on. Good luck with all of your endeavors.

[@PutYoRhymeOn]

A 12 year old can write like that? O.o

[@danieledrisian2709]

Don't simply study to go to university. College is a tool for you to blossom. The best way to get into a good college is to focus solely on what you like.

[@jamescatheyiii4097]

Future Epidemiologist You can do it Leona!

[@squidwardtentacles4327]

It's been 4 years already! Have you tried applying already?

[@aliciaparra5039]

This is my dream school! I just started high school and ive been focusing on my grades a lot! I hope i can get into this University.

[@megajonathan96]

Sounds great, I'm a senior applying their right now, make sure to challenge yourself not only in school but with a bunch of activities. Also BE CREATIVE the university loves a diverse range of personalities. GOOD LUCK!

[@ElBlackimar]

Make sure to have fun in high school too yo. High school is also about having fun experiences, just find a balance.

[@DominatingNA]

alicia parra quick tip as someone who was just accepted a couple months ago and will be attending this fall, make sure to kill the essays! honestly i would say if you can write an extremely unique essay then it could easily make up for a less than average (by UChicago standards) gpa or sat score

[@kenmken]

+DominatingNA Hello, I'm considering applying to Uchicago very soon. I'm done with my personal essay and two supplements, mind taking a look?

[@geoffreymuraya4496]

Alicia do you need help? contact me via [e-mail]

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

This is a university not just for academics, but for life! I would love to go here someday after I earn my Associate's degree.

[@angelicbeast]

Got in. Cannot believe my luck. Class of '17!!!

[@angelicbeast]

I cannot express how much I'm hoping for an acceptance this Tuesday. Good luck everyone!

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

I react the same way to my junior college as this girl. I love all my classes, my major, and all the people I've met here! This is a university for me!

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

This school is a success because of inclusion, engagement, and achievement by students. My junior college is the same way.

[@mairinmazzieshearysmith6642]

Just received my acceptance to get my Masters in social work here this fall and I could not be more excited.

[@uchicagoadmissions]

Yes we are! We are also part of the UAA, the University Athletic Association, comprised of eight universities committed to both athletic and academic excellence.

[@NecroRatt666]

I'm In 5 clubs(president of one), and by senior year I would have taken 6 AP classes(plus jazz band, band and chorale), end in top 15% of my class with a 3.88 GPA and I have a passion for astronomy. Even with those stats, I feel I have a 2% chance of getting in....make that 1%. This school is crazy hard to get into, but it's so awesome.

[@umidmuydinov2122]

Who should study there then? Aliens?

[@umidmuydinov2122]

I think the admission does not depend on GPA only. They consider work experience, academic records and passion. More than thousands of students attend this university, who you think they are, aliens again?

[@dustz33]

This is by far the most beautiful university video I have ever seen!

[@ceonabennett3434]

I didn't know that this was one of the best schools to go to and I've been getting TONS of letters from them and they've sent me loads of letters as i am a junior in high school. Wow that's so cool. University of Washington is where i really wanna go but this seems like a good choice too

[@itsjustme9691]

Hello! I am from Europe and finishing high school this year, but since I am from Europe and from Eastern Europe (poorer countries) I don't really understand what do I need to get accepted or whatever, to this University? What is GDA, what is ACT & SAT Composite? How much does going here cost? Etc. Thank you so much!

[@stevefan8766]

Considering applying to the graduate school at UChicago this fall. Really hope to get accepted.

[@nilen]

GET IN

[@ls600h1]

Brilliant University. Probably the best if (like me) you want to double major in math and eco. Its placed in the top three math and eco grad and undergrad rankings most of the time (1 in eco more often than not) as well as the top business school (economist and businessweek) and is a top 5 Physics and Law school as well. In physics you also get Fermi Lab and Aggrone right in your backyard. It boasts the most nobel prizes and fields medals as well as fullbright and rhodes scholars.

[@jasonhuang9435]

The music is amazing

[@traianivanescu24]

I love the music of this video.

[@jonaFUN999]

I can't wait to meet your representatives in London next month, I am a British student hoping (and wishing!) to study in the US and the University of Chicago is my no. 1 choice!

[@angelicbeast]

Hell yeah I'm accepting! The only other places I applied were Harvard regular (a very slim chance for anyone), Cornell regular (probably got in) and Northwestern's HSME (probably didn't get in). Chicago was my top choice, and I got into University Scholars, so I can afford, so I'm going to UChicago for sure. I'm planning to major in Biological Chemistry, and I want to join the Big Problem interdisciplinary program.

[@itmejessica]

It's so beautiful! I really hope I get onto my study abroad course

[@nilen]

[@thesoundofthesuburbs]

My father went to Northwestern. Northwestern's Econ Department tends toward the Freshwater side as well. Northwestern is simply less political. University of Chicago is noted for its conservatism.

Wowow congratulations!! I just submitted my RD application and I'm sooo jealous of you... UChicago is my Number one choice as of now (I've already made it to Caltech EA with FA, so I just applied to UChicago and Princeton regular) Are you accepting or will you be trying your luck elsewhere as well? What are you majoring in?

[@love2laugh180]

Interesting. I've heard the same thing about students being worked to death. Of course, the type of students who look into UChicago often are looking for some level of academic rigor. Do you have anything to say about the student body (I know they like to advertise as being quirky intellectuals, I can see that as getting old fast...)? What midwestern university would you suggest as a better alternative?

[@Crad4DRC]

Is there more information about the piece being performed throughout this video?

En 1988 realicé una pequeña escala en la Universidad de Chicago para realizar un doctorado en Economía. Fue una experiencia muy interesante. Tuve un roommate cuerísimo, católico como yo (íbamos a la iglesia todos los domingos y nos agarrábamos de la mano en el Padre Nuestro y me dieron tres ataques cardiacos), se llama Bernie, es descendiente de polacos. Tiene un piernón loco y es muy hacendoso, el era quien realizaba todas las tareas del hogar. El es nativo de Michigan. También tuve experiencias desagradables como conocer el terrible y desagradable racismo que existe en los Estados Unidos. Ahí conocí al Dr. Robert E. Lucas III, en aquel entonces Director del Departamento de Economía. Me dio pocas clases, pero pude notar que su modelo de expectativas racionales por el que recibió el Premio Nobel de Economía tiene varios errores matemáticos. El fue quien me presentó a Margaret Thatcher, porque en aquel entonces era su asesor. En Chicago me di cuenta que en los Doctorados, la mayor parte de los estudiantes son de países en vías en desarrollo y en la Maestría de Administración y Negocios la mayor parte de los alumnos son norteamericanos
