UChicago Optional Video EXPLAINED | video structure + examples
Here is EVERYTHING you need to know (in excruciating detail) to create the ~perfect~ UChicago video for the UChicago optional video profile part of your application! With a school as unique as UChicago, your application HAS to be strong - we want it to be authentic, honest, and showcase who you are at your core. All in a 2 minute video lol. But there really is a structure, and I go through two specific ways I'd approach this video, so hope this helps!
As always, let me know if you want to see more videos regarding uchicago application advice or need information on how to get into UChicago!

Hello, I have a question I am applying to another university, but it also offers an optional video. I am applying for a master's degree and I feel that my personality in general would not help me enough to outstand . I tried to make a video that includes my personality in an academic setting, my skills and interests that are related to my major, and some of my achievements. it extends 4 minutes. What do you think?

I'm having so much trouble with the transfer video profile since it feels weird to talk to the camera without anything. Wish me luck y'all! I'm in love with this school.

Hi! I'm an international student and I just got waitlisted by Uchicago with low stats majoring in English literature. Do you have any advice other than simply improving my stats? I see that optional video and creative writing is available in the portal.
Good one
Hello I wanted to ask if you edit essays since I want to go to the same major as you. It will be a big help.

Hi! I used to last year but can't given work time commitments this year. But I did post several videos on essays over the past few months that should help! 😊 I have videos on how to write your common app essay step by step (and linked my template too!), your why us college essay, and more - hopefully they can help!
Wish me luck on this video. I am a prospective transfer to U of chicago

Thanks for this video, but is it compulsory for me to show my face throughout the video, I'd be talking about my love for cartoons and showing short clips from them. Thank youuuu
HI! I know this is really late, but I was wondering if I applied early action to UChicago, and didn't send in a video, can I after applying?
