    I’m about to binge all your videos ! U Chicago is my dream school! As a young black girl- this perspective is not simply reassuring- but also needed. Thank you!

    I’m about to be a High School Senior and UChicago is my dream school and I’m planning on trying to match with them through QuestBridge and your video is really making me want to come to the school even more!

    I love it! 5 articulate, beautiful, Black women with a unique perspective giving sage advice(mostly common sense). I like the Q/A format. This video is definitely needed because it dispels stereotypes and talks about being 'on code.' Keep up the good work ladies! 🤗
    P.S. Dinah(sp?), the second young lady from the left is my twin - from several decades ago, but still! 🤓 Same complexion, face, glaases, body type, everything. Even manner of speaking and body language!

    Do you think I can get into Uchicago with a 3.5 and a 4.3 weighted gpa? Do you have any tips? Is it better for me in my case to apply for ED 11?
