Everything I LOVE about UChicago

In this video I talk about everything I love about UChicago (aka my favourite things about UChicago / how UChicago students are like / things you should know about UChicago before coming here / things I likeabout UChicago / things I did not expect about UChicago / expectations vs. reality (sort of)).
From UChicago students and how vocal and open we are, to resources and support on campus, and even brand name and alumni network --- I cover a few of my thoughts on my experience at UChicago :)
P.s. WE HIT 7K WHAT!! Also keep your eyes peeled for episode 2 of College Review Live ☻ You can find my form "itschloetan Livestream: College Apps Special💕✨" at: form.jotform.com/201788439037160
📌 T I M E S T A M P S
0:20 How it feels talking to people on campus, how conversations go, and general student culture (both academically and also sometimes socially)
2:58 UChicago having a strong sense of identity and solidarity as a school + what that means for you being a student and soon-to-be alumni!
5:53 UChicago’s reputation is amazing in the post-college world and amongst people outside of UC — You never have to worry about your abilities being doubted / second-guessed or coming off as someone who didn’t live up to certain standards by an employer :)
8:40 The vast variety of resources and how readily available they are + how the school really steps up and tries to provide for their students as much as possible — advisors will give you individualised advice and you always feel like you CAN do things
13:01 Our campus is very vocal, but not in a negative or abrasive way — being able to have cool conversations with differing opinions without myopic mindsets is a standard / norm and oftentimes you’ll end up learning something new + seeing things in a new way
A short note on competitiveness — in short, UChicago IS competitive, but in a way that makes you feel motivated and positive, not depressed and pressurised and bleak
Hope you enjoyed this video, and comment down below what you would like to see next :)

🙆🏻♀️ MUSIC I USED:
In-app music within VLLO (mainly Spring and Chill playlists~)
‼️BLACK LIVES MATTER, even though the protests seem to be no longer a "hot topic" and media coverage is decreasing. The problem is NOT solved, our attention span has simply lapsed.
I try not to talk politics on this channel (follow my ig if you want my thoughts) -- but this is beyond "political". This is a legitimate hazard and disaster for society.
Here are some resources for you to help: blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/

I’m applying to UChicago this fall and it’s my top choice because of your videos!
-
I love this video. Besides UChicago, I have been to several campuses, like Harvard, Yale, Brown, NYU etc. Somehow I just feel the students at UChicago are different from other schools. From the way they talk, attitude, even facial expressions they are different from the kids at H,Y etc. I couldn’t ping point exactly where the difference is. After watching this video, I seemed get it now.

Researching more and more about uchicago really makes it my dream school. I love how academically rigorous it is and how they encourage free thought. Ughh I think I might want to transfer or apply for grad school.
-

Thank you soooo much for the videos!! And uh would you mind talking about like classes you really enjoyed and/or classes that are really unique? Or maybe things that make classes at UC different?

As a current medical student who graduated from UChicago, I can attest to the resources. Having an office (UCIHP) dedicated towards students interested in medicine has been beyond helpful when it came to preparing for interviews as well as developing my application in a timely manner. I also have to mention that the work that we did as a student has also gone a long way when it comes to being used to the long study days of med school lol
-

What do you think about going to UChicago for a stem major like biology? I feel like your insight is really great for econ majors but do you think your experience is applicable or similar to stem majors at UChicago?
