Hey guys! I'm thinking about applying to UChicago, and I'm interested to know what kind of stats the admitted students from the previous years had. Does anyone have any information about the UChicago Class of 2027, such as average GPA, test scores, or any other details? Thanks!
Hey! You've definitely set your sights on a fantastic school. Here's some data on UChicago's Class of 2027:
In terms of standardized test scores, though UChicago is currently test-optional, admitted students submitting test scores had a middle 50% SAT score range of 1510-1560 and a middle 50% ACT score range of 34-35.
Please remember that test scores are now optional for UChicago applicants, and if you choose not to submit them, it won't count against you. University of Chicago has adopted this policy to provide all applicants an equal opportunity and encourage a more comprehensive review of your application.
Additionally, UChicago is well-known for its holistic approach to admissions. More than numbers, the University values essays, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities to build a well-rounded class with diverse interests, strengths, and backgrounds. Your essays and other non-academic factors will carry significant weight in the admissions process, so definitely put effort into your UChicago supplemental essays!
