what are the sat/act requirements for the University of Chicago?

The Holistic Reading Process

The admissions committee considers a candidate’s entire application—academic and extracurricular records, essays, letters of recommendation, and SAT or ACT scores.

What does this mean for you?

* There is no minimum GPA or test score.
* No course load is mandatory, but a standard college prep program is recommended.
* Every high school is different. Regional counselors with specific knowledge of their territory read all applications first.
* Applications are reviewed multiple times and presented to an admissions committee.
* There is no one quality that can determine the strength of an application.

We look for bright students with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and passion for learning. Show us how you maximized your high school experience and pursued opportunities to develop unique talents.
