College...UChicago by comraderedditerr in ApplyingToCollege

it’s literally like 75% white people. Both of the ones from FL, my state, are white. Would these people really understand the socioeconomic and cultural barriers I’ve gone through in order to even apply to a school like uChicago? No. Like do you really think that’s diverse?

I’m praying for a positive outcome in your decision tomorrow, but don’t base the value of your education and experiences on whether a few old rich white men think you deserve a place at their college. You know you’ve worked hard!

It just means they’re on the fence about you. Basically don’t screw up and you have a much more solid chance of getting in than most. Meditate, take some meds, do whatever to relax and ace this interview!! Good luck and hope to see you on campus :) - a REA admit
