how easy is it to switch ur major at uchicago
two man 🔜
very!! due to the core, you could literally take all gen core classes for the first two yrs undecided lol
unless you’re a bio/chem/meng, in which case it’d b a good idea to start the sequence in first year
@glass bear congrats!!! with that ling major you're living my life fr fr
@untold hill did you do the video portfolio
are u gonna try and transfer after ur first year?
over to uchi
because i think you got that on lock

and i'd like to settle into wherever i end up going
i got grad school on lock tho
oh thats so valid
@glass bear are you from chicago

ay gotta have faith
i feel liek most people who got in did it
ill record a video for my little supplemental update

they tell you not to edit it

he wrote it about getting no play
and he got in?
that’s why he’s been begging for a two man
yeah
HOW
thats not possible
yea thats been established
thanks tho
ok would you accept me into your house
but how did broski get in after writing about L rizz
if i get i house im ending it fr
and by the time its allowed i wont have the power to do that (ill live off campus)
@fading socket dm vivid
u can request to switch
🙏
on the website they say you shouldn’t make it overly polished
if u don't request a single then u shd be out of i house's reach
they expect it to be kinda scuffed
scuffed it shall be
i won’t request a single
mine was me in front of a camera for 2 mins
bet
at my desk
i’ll fight you
hmmm
I REQUESTED A SINGLE
WITH AC
AND IM IN WOODLAWN
i love my wl single it is amazing
slide
tbh i would probably prefer a roommate for my first year
same
im with a roommate from tj lmao
for the two man

oh i thought something happened that made it known as snitches
LOL
@rugged field are uchi parties fire or nah

death sentence
like most ppl in my house dont even know him
nah
his roommate found his discord before they even met 💀
💀
WOW REMINDS ME OF SOMEONE
i respect him for those crazt stalking skills
no it doesnt
tbh id probably want a roommate that would be close with me
like brother type shit
it does NOT remind u of anyone
that would be awesome
nah
my brother's roommate had "lotion time"
we chill
LMAOOOOOO
that is the only thing i remember about him
hes a chill roommate, but we wont be roomies next yr
this utter freak would drop his towel and start lathering himself
i want a single next yr
ill get a halperin single
lowkey fire
i’d do that
sometimes a man needs his lotion
WHAT
i mean take care of your skin
STAY AWAY
you gotta be stopped ciwan
proper hygiene?
yeah no ashy or dry skin
how else am i supposed to get soft skin
i’m white i don’t get ashy
moisterize after shower
but i do moisturize
im black but lightskin
yeah gotta moisturize
and you gotta exfoliate fr
ok
i understand him its just that dont do it in front of the roommate
ok
yeah that’s a bit crazy
get a single
besides the lotion also takes the sting off the cold after the shower
nope
yep
only reason i can survive morning shower
@untold hill we gonna be rizzing at orientation big bro?
first you need to make sure there ARE baddies
bro start working out
bro make it a threeman I want in
avg biz econ major..
uchi def has baddies bro come on
LMAO

i know one biz econ major and his ex was literally insane
ok
@rich sapphire what’s uchicago bsr?
toxic ass mf
huh
bsr
do you know a lot of uchi students
BS R
baddie:student ratio?
um
imma go hard first semester w/ the rizz because im like 6'0
idk
BROOOO i’m short 
idk they prob got the intelligent baddies tho
it’s over for me man
sibling but he graduated so
you need some air forces my man
this conversation odd as hell
black air forces and you got it
i’m like 5’9
r there ppl from ur school going in ur grade
hell nah
then ur like 5'11 with the forces
surely
plus 1 inch of confidence
in my school it’s 4 kids total and i’m the only one doing early
nah def not
damn
forces aren’t that tall
wait what
wdym
what does that even mean
in my area it’s not a popular school
i just realized
i promised a bunch of a2c kids that if they got in i’d buy them boba irl on campus & none of them ended up applying or getting in
for all grades?
maybe some platform heels would do the job
wooo no going broke
but how did they get in if they aint applying early
can you promise me that
one other person so far
there was a meeting
and only 4 people showed up
ive never had boba before
theres like 15 people from my school currently there though
WTF
4 people applying or attending
HOW
dawg
applying. 0 attending
be my first if i get in? (for boba)
no
lol ok
thai iced tea is better
idk man ive just never had it
NO
debatable
if i get in im there
u weirdos
boba is mid
bruh
what
wheres the lab guy does he count
boba is mid you guys should drink real shit like redbull
@upper elm do you like boba
heart problem
cope
if someone doesnt get in after seeing caitlin's msg
thats what theyd say

????????!!!!!!?????
.
yes
if good
actual massive variance tho
sometimes u get the most blandass shitass dogass ass bubbles
te amo place
and it's like they have NO taste
boba
dogshit
overpriced
mid asf
bubbles taste like nothing iirc
i haven't had it in like 2 years though so idk
a bubble tea needs textured bubbles that release sweetness as you chew
it gives TEMPO to the DRINKING EXPERIENCE
and REWARDS for WORKING YOUR JAW
i may have opinions about this topic
never wouldve guessed
where are you finding textured bubbles dawg
he’s built different
not be way too squishy
nor way too hard
like
i just need the bubbles to not be dogshit
and some places just
do not take me up on that!
he likes balls in his mouth
interesting
I do.
what are the balls
tapioca
boba discussion
I like balls in my mouth
we're talking about balls and how they pop in our mouth
and their textures
balls balls!
no
bye
LMFAO
?
great
buddy we stand on business here
did u get rejected
no i got deferred
@glass bear do not let this slide
deferral gang
i mean he goes to lab he knows best
what is lab
we gonna be soon though 🤝
yo hopefully
just need to lock in the essays and edit my ECs
no like
the school is great
lol
i'm shitposting
the essays are interesting
and the school itself is very solid
i just don't want to stick around for another 4 years that's all
💀
i think i'll legitimately go insane if i go from going to school 5 feet away to just going to school 0 feet away
your honor sentence him to four more years of ratner swim pool
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i mean
that's lowkey a win though
the alternative is lab's swimming pool
which lowkey looks like there's a certain type of cell swimming in it permanently
ratner is super nice the facility is great
except for when my teammates track dirt into the fucking locker room???
or do otherwise stupid things
and then i have to clean up after them

it's like being a fucking mom i cba
yall should test the water in the lab pool
what
#🎓-commitments message
???????
"cubs are better than the sox"
and you're going to a school on the south side
oh no a sox fan
are you real
ok real talk time
are you real
does everyone have that one teacher they dickride
i will rep the cubs till i die
@glass bear enjoy wearing your cubs merch in the south buddy
one of these teams has a recent world series
LOL
i’ll be chilling w my yankee shirt
27 buddy
one of these teams will get you killed after 8 pm if you're walking alone
the other will not
take your pick
🤠
indeed
i don't even watch baseball
thats what four years of track is for 🙏
what’s your mile time

mf about to show the shooter that continuous-everywhere differentiable-nowhere running pattern i can't
not good im a mid-d guy
gonna book it down the bigass alley next to medici and get jumped there instead
💀
no lol
its like 5:39 my half mile is so much better
id say
i’m not a track person buddy
sub 6:30 is good
i havent done a mile in a long time but my pb is just under 7
???
😂
not even speedwalking
the olympic speedwalkers are so fast though
one time i locked in and got third place though
fr
mfs probably walk faster than i run
ngl
fr
imagine your ass gets disqualified because your second foot left the ground though
shit sport
LOL
@hearty belfry you’re in the wrong channel
shhhh
what’s wrong w my mile time?
the safety car turns around and shoots you as soon as your second foot rises
thank you ref 🙏
LMFAO
they need a better way to tell people that a false start happened
because hearing five gunshots in a row
LMFAO
makes me run faster
is that actually the procedure
LMAOOOO
dude why donlo't they just
do it like swimming
?
we just have a loudass buzzer
like if you false start
you just get disqualified
lol
sucks to suck you take the L
don't have a skill issue next time if u want a legitimate time 😂
whistle
who
swims for the large school that starts with an n
i havent tried at swimming since like
actually i have never tried
but the last time i was decent and thus mentally invested at all was eighth grade
idt they swim in our conference
i nearly started sobbing when i saw his times
lmfao
REAL
bro is a psycho
2 fly

i also like
dont pay any attention at all to swimmers who arent in my immediate vicinity
and i mean like
on my team in the same lane as me

idfc about the sport i kind of hate doing it so
most committed high school athlete 
there r club sports and then comps between different dorm houses where ur house puts together a team & signs up
dorm soccer team would be awesome
midnight intramural soccer is prbly the most common sport
welp i gotta prepare...
me too
played varsity but 4th division
so im very bad lol
i will
we will be joining
cap
whats ur position
i used to play cb when i played but id do CDM if i played now
like casemiro
onana is crazy 😭
im not a great keeper 💀
but i have moments of greatness
you would have to notify them probably
and with a good explanation
which is
probably not "my teacher sucks ass and i don't like them"
🐸
there's a gc @uchicago28 on insta
silly chicago
sure
if you're deferred ed1 do they automatically push you to ed2
does anyone know the approx acceptance rate for transfer applicants
you have to manually do it iirc
Got in with 800 words why essay
Word count doesn't really matter
you have to fill out a form
AH
😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
No P
the ‘27 one is just run by another ‘27 student lol
when would ed2 come out
early-mid feb
was the 10th last year i think
that might have been two years ago i forget
ye
i’m just gonna assume Feb 15
yeah that's valid
only major decisions before then would be berkeley met and a few of public ea's
Yo does anyone know if im allowed to register for the "welcome to the uchicago event" thing if i havent committed
It doesnt expressly prohibit it anywhere and its just information I think
ok
it feels like a lot more people got deferred than normal for uchicago
yall what are the downsides to uchicago
there arent any
I guess women's safety?
- extremely few racist incidents (? Idrk heard from a friend)
really? how unsafe is it for women
Not sure if its the whole campus, heard the neighborhood around gets iffy & women should stay alert 🤷♀️
Lol i am taking huge keys with anywhere from now on lol
These forms have great advice on what specific spaces to aviod
:))
oh thank you!
I heard that it’s very academically competitive and stuff but I wouldn’t know
yeah academics wise i've done a lot of research im just considering the safety aspect of it all
2/3 profs live within walking distance of the school 💀 it's not tha tbad
Ooo
Okay 👍
Yeah ig safety aspect has to do more with the area compared to campus
Lol
Doory if I got you rlly worried or something tho 😭
i think so
otherwise seems like a wasted opportunity to up their yield which we know they love
money and grade deflation
aka me when i want to take hard classes to learn but they're hard classes
money as in? they give great financial aid no
ive heard 90k thrown around
how strong is chicago grad placement into finance
i heard their career services was a mess 10 years ago but that it's been fixed?
i know jack shit
so far i think they're helpful
but idk how it compares to other schools/the past
Dyk anyone in maroon capital?
one
Do they like it or think it’s useful?
idk actually he rarely talks abt it
i mean one use
is that its probs rlly prestigious for some jobs
so worst comes to worst u got 1 benefit
it's pretty good
places well
it's good for chicago firms
^
campus is safe
the area around it is not at all
Like how not safe are we talkin here
pretty sure it is
compared to other places
USC...
In years past what day does RD typically come in
yes the campus is safe
the area is okay the deeper you go into it the more alert you have to be but its also not horrible
Would someone who got in ed1 to Chicago dm me
I wanna know if it’s worth for me to ed2
if you're in the right place at the right time it's always chill
if ur randomly at 64th street at 9 pm and alone

they'll give u cigarettes for free!
@untold hill planning on walking around chicago at night alone in designer clothes. going to walk up to some people tweaking on the street and greet them with a dap and say “hello my fellow slime! how are you enjoying this crisp chi-raq night?”
do you advise against this?
gucci fit and 1s on
dont forget to hold 5k in bands
and show it off and say "you want this my dawg?"
if someone asks me what size i wear i’ll happily tell them
what if ur with 1 other guy
uchi has free lyft at night so why would you even be walking
they do?
damn
w uchi
guys I've got a genuine question
why UChicago, chicago is a cesspool
city itself is really boring and shitty
chicago is literally the best city in the contiguous United States
Smh my head
I mean it's like "ankara mamak çöplüğü"
wrong
but chicago isn’t that much better or worse than most major us cities
You best not say something like LA
nah it’s NYC
LA is worse than chicago
@fading socket thoughts on LA?
nahhh
nyc is shitty too
nah
I don't like eating rats
where are you living then bucko
EW
Insane statement
nah I'm kidding bro
NYC is fire but it’s still worse
LA probably
i go to school in south central
seen bloods jump guys here before
so its more of the same to go to uchi
San Francisco
Boston too
oh I almost forgot
my beloved one
LAS VEGAS
grind starts when I get to las vegas
cap
the one thing this guy is right about is that chicago is boring as shit
stay safe bro
i just need to survive another 6 months lol
my friend is cool tho he got an M1911 to protect us
we almost intervened but there were like 6 of em
in nike techs
do you genuinely need protection just walking though?
they took a broskis shoes and shirt
if you aren’t gang affiliated would they still try to mess with you?
when we go out in the area the food's good and prices at convenience stores are cheap
but they'll do anything to anyone
they don't care
if they're bored or something they'll stop you and ask for your shoes
that’s stupid as fuck, stay safe bro
Yee thanks buddy 👍👍
even if you’re wearing some trash shoes?
what if i got on some dirty ass barely functional forces
i wear like old beat up sneakers when I go out
and like shitty sweatpants and an old faded shirt
thats why i dont get stopped
my friends usually wear similar and some old work boots
uchicago hack: dress homeless when leaving campus
second hack: speak to yourself at all times to convince everyone else you’re crazy
its a little hard for me because I don't speak spanish but my friends translate just fine
id probably do that if I got in
when you leave LA would you ever move back
no
would you stay in chicago?
unless i had to for school
prob not
im the type of guy that likes to travel a lot, dont like staying in one place too long
i’d either stay in chicago or move back to new york
Go see me all UC's I linked reddit chats on how to write a good loci
Too lazy to cope paste here sorry 😔
fairs
Copy**
same w me and law
THIS avoid certain areas as much as possible the reddit threads I included here say which ones
how hard is it to get into law school
Like for uchicago med 6.5k apply for 90 spots
also my teacher does know a law prof there
i haven’t checked lol
damn
You just never enjoyed the city
Truly enjoyed it
omg same
potential classmates?
probably not
@fading socket https://x.com/themadridzone/status/1738015337348489313?s=46
he’s in your city bro
saw him alr at UCLA
whole madrid team + him 10 ft away
modric winked at me
but damn what id do for his autograph
NO WAYY
that’s awesome man
did you take photos?
thanks it was insane
slide that
man i wish i could meet them
with uchicago's interesting essay prompts is there a formula to answer the question or is it just winging it
ball out sonny
wing it
i figured that itd be more of a winging it thing
might enjoy this essay the most out of any college essay written
once I can wrap up this rewritten personal statement
😐
uciago
What am I supposed to talk about in the Chicago video?
whatever u want
real
If i go to uchicago for undergrad i won't do law school there but
what
like just about anything?
doesn't even have to do with me?
if you don't want it to
not saying you'll get in but
you could show someone you recently murdered if you feel like it
I think it’s supposed to be an introduction video
