Every application received by UChicago is carefully reviewed several times and presented to a committee. The school considers the entire submission, not only grades, and requests students have a thirst and passion for knowledge and learning. It’s suggested that students use a UChicago account to apply.

For Early Action applicants, paperwork is due by November 1st with decisions made by mid-December. For Regular Decision, applications should be turned in by January 1st and will hear back by mid-March. All students must let UChicago know their intent by May 1st.

Students should include none in every application, but none is also recommended. ACT Composite scores should be in the 34 - 35 range and the SAT Combined in the 1,510 - 1,560 range.
