Okay. Hi everyone. It's global
0:01
scholarships and I'm your host AZ. I
0:03
hope you're all doing well. I hope
0:05
everything is going great and today
0:06
we'll see the application procedure of
0:08
University of Chicago. Now you can as
0:10
always just start by googling the name
0:11
of university or you can do something
0:13
smarter. Go to global scholarships.com
0:15
and let's look for Chicago. Uh choose
0:18
choose University of Chicago and you'll
0:20
see our page. We have a page for pretty
0:22
much every big university. And here
0:25
again you can get a lot of free
0:26
information uh about you know location,
0:29
population, different scholarships in
0:31
this university etc etc. People who have
0:33
earned scholarships in this university
0:35
as you can see you can read about their
0:37
stories learn uh directly from them. We
0:41
have a ton of free information here and
0:43
if you have any questions as you can see
0:44
you can leave them in our comment
0:45
section and Hani who is the founder of
0:48
global scholarships answers all of them
0:50
right. Anyway, so to start our
0:52
application, uh here we go to admissions
0:54
page uh bachelors and let's click on
0:57
international students admissions page.
0:59
Now, in a lot of ways, this is just like
1:02
a normal uh university application in
1:04
United States. We've done like a handful
1:07
uh tutorials for these universities. Uh
1:09
there are a couple of things that are
1:11
kind of different. Uh we're going to see
1:12
those here. We have required materials
1:15
for first year applicants. Uh it's
1:17
pretty much for same for all
1:19
international applicants. Uh we have
1:21
timeline you can see about that as well.
1:24
We have proof of English language
1:25
proficiency. Uh only admit student who
1:27
have demonstrated a superior level of
1:30
English language competence invited to
1:32
submit scores from any English
1:33
proficiency examination they believe
1:35
represents their English language
1:37
ability. Here we have financial aid
1:39
information. And here we have a lot of
1:41
frequently asked questions. People
1:43
really don't like these are quite
1:45
underrated. People don't look into these
1:47
enough uh often enough like do I need to
1:49
take an English proficiency test? A lot
1:52
of these questions are kind of questions
1:54
that we get in our comment section. I
1:56
can just you know the university usually
1:58
knows what questions are very frequently
2:01
asked. Should I send photo copies of
2:03
certificates and awards? What if my
2:05
school does not report a class rank or
2:07
have GPA? Should I convert my grades
2:10
into a GPA on a 4.0 scale? Please do not
2:14
convert your grades into force. You get
2:16
the idea. Are international citizens
2:18
eligible for financial aid? First year
2:20
international citizens are eligible for
2:22
need-based and merit-based financial
2:24
aid. In fact, if you apply for
2:26
need-based aid and we offer admission,
2:29
we are committed to meeting 100% of your
2:31
demonstrated financial aid. I think they
2:33
mean they mean 100% of your demonstrated
2:36
financial need which means well
2:38
basically they know how much they pretty
2:41
much know how much you will need and
2:43
they kind of calculate how much your
2:45
family can contribute and they cover the
2:47
rest that's what that that means. Do you
2:49
accept initial view interviews? Um do my
2:52
application materials need to be
2:54
translated? If your application
2:55
materials include any documents that are
2:58
not in English, you must provide us with
3:00
an official English translation. in
3:02
addition to the original documents. So
3:04
you get the idea. So here on the
3:06
required documents remember we clicked
3:08
on this before we have uh should submit
3:11
their choice of apply coalition etc etc
3:14
common app. We're going to use this one.
3:16
You'll need extracurricular activities.
3:18
You'll need you Chicago supplement
3:20
requires one extended essay of your
3:23
choice from our list of several prompts.
3:25
You're going to do that on common app.
3:27
Don't worry about that. Students may
3:28
create a Chicago account before or after
3:31
beginning the coalition or common app.
3:32
To create a Chicago account before you

basically we're going to create an
3:55
account on you Chicago and then you're
3:58
going to write your essay which you do
4:00
through common app by the way. So we're
4:02
going to create an account on Chicago.
4:04
We're going to create our account on
4:05
common app. We're going to apply through
4:06

29:09
your writing supplement on the screen.
29:11
We have done this. We have written this
29:13
one. But to be able to submit that,
29:15
first we need to review and submit this
29:17
one. Review your application. Uh they're
29:19
going to give you a PDF. University of
29:21
Chicago has chosen not to include
29:22
certain my app responses in the PDF they
29:26
receive for your application. As a
29:28
result, the following questions and
29:29
answers will not be on your PDF. ACT,
29:32
SAT tests, partial SSN, race and
29:34
ethnicity. So they will not know that
29:36
they don't want to know that. Submit
29:38
your application. Okay, let's click on
29:39
review and submit. Okay, so this is
29:41
final review. You can download this by
29:44
clicking here. Save. You can read the
29:46
whole thing. And if everything is done,
29:49
I reviewed the PDF copy of my
29:51
application and wish to proceed with my
29:53
submission. Continue. Now you have
29:55
indicated in your application that you
29:57
are requesting an application fee waver.
29:59
Please continue to certification page to
30:01
finish the application submission
30:02
process. So if you haven't done that,
30:04
you haven't indicated that you're
30:06
requesting an application fee waiver. Uh
30:08
this would be the page where you will
30:10
pay the application fee course. Let's
30:11
click on continue. Okay. So here we
30:14
choose signature and submission. We
30:16
choose all of these. All right. Affirm
30:18
and signature. Let's say John Doe and
30:22
date is today. And when I click on
30:25
submit, my application will go through
30:27
which I'm not going to do here.
30:28
Obviously, I don't want to send a fake
30:30
application. Anyway, that's pretty much
30:32
it. We have created our account on
30:35
Chicago. Where is it? Yeah, this is our
30:38
account. This is this is the platform of
30:40
university. So, we have done this. We
30:42
have written our supplement uh and we

have uploaded it to common app in our
30:47
application. And when we submit our
30:48
application, we will be able to review
30:50
and submit our writing supplement as
30:52
well. And when all of that are sent, our
30:54
common application is submitted, our uh
30:57
writing supplement is submitted, then
30:59
well, basically we're going to be here.
31:02
