Great video. I’ve sat on a number of national and international selection committees for what we call HDRs (grad students), and to be honest, it’s always contextual. It’s not using a single number, it’s looking at the context for that institution. So it would not be a disadvantage if you were applying to any decent institution. It’s possible some dodgy ones may just not know the higher education environment very well, but major grad programs really understand contexts. And of course GPAs don’t work the same internationally. We use 0 to 7 scale, where as you can imagine four would be very low. But even within countries you don’t use the same kind of measures that you would use for somebody leaving high school.
Hi! I love your videos! Do you think the campus is a safe place? I really like uchicago and want to apply, but my high school counselor told me that it is in a dangerous place to live in. I also read a couple of news articles regarding robberies in the campus, so I got really scared. I am also an international student, and my parents are really sensitive about this safety issue. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your video Makayla! Have been so anxious about the workload at UChicago as a 2028 uchicago freshmen. Your video's so helpful!
how would you be a freshmen at uchicago in 2028?
