    Great vid and good advice..
    I am a Loyola alumnus. Currently, I am a Grad student at UChicago. LUC really helped and vouched for me to get into a highly competitive UChicago grad program. I still feel Loyola's core curriculum is too rigorous for a BA though. Nonetheless, a great, beautiful, and unique university.
    I took 5/6 classes per semester too generally.
    If you go to LUC, during a storm over the lake , take the elevator all the way up to the top floor of Mundelein Hall and go to room where you can watch it. I did that often :D.....

    Living in Mertz was the highlight of my freshman year! I had a super fun floor where girls would all hang out together in the lounges but I know that wasn’t the case for every floor. The only downfall of mertz was the elevator rush hour. 10/10 would recommend mertz

    This winter definitely wasn’t the worst temperature wise. My freshman year at Loyola (2018) was pretty damn cold especially during the polar vortex. As someone who was used to 40-50 degree winters it was pretty cold. Really informative video, you summed everything up nicely!

      there is a section in the common app where you can explain bad grades. i feel like if u worked hard in twelfth grade they will see that you are a hard worker. there are other factors like ur extracurriculars, essays, and test scores.

      I’ve done a pretty bad job during my the end of my freshman year and the whole sophomore year. My gpa was 3.1 when applied and got accepted surprisingly
      So when you apply write an essay about why your grades weren’t really good or why you didn’t do well
