Hello! My name is Colomba, and I’m from Santiago, Chile. Ever since my first visit to the United States at age 7, I dreamed of studying there. By the time I was 12, I knew I wanted to attend college in the U.S., but my biggest obstacle was mastering English. Despite improving my skills with a private tutor, I was still nervous about interviews, especially with competitive schools like the University of Chicago.

Why UChicago?

At first, UChicago wasn’t on my list due to its intimidating essay prompts, but after learning more about the school’s diverse curriculum and flexibility, I realized it was exactly what I was looking for. I had participated in a summer camp at UChicago and fell in love with the campus. The opportunity to study both Economics and Cinema & Media Studies at a world-class institution was a dream come true. That’s when I knew I had to do everything I could to stand out in my interview.

How Admisist AI Helped Me Shine

Although I had improved my English, I was still anxious about the interview. That’s when I discovered Admisist AI, and it completely transformed my preparation. Using the ‘Prepare for Interview’ feature, I was able to input specific details about UChicago. The AI generated responses that perfectly tied my experiences to what the university values.

For example, I’ve run a successful Funko Pop business since I was 14, and Admisist AI helped me articulate how UChicago’s academic environment would allow me to expand my entrepreneurial spirit. It crafted responses that showed how my background fit into UChicago’s interdisciplinary approach, highlighting how their economics and media studies programs would impact my future.
