Hi there! I am seriously contemplating applying to Richard J. Daley College. I wanted to connect with anyone who has experience with their admission process and the college culture overall. Can anyone share how they found the application process, and what it's like to be a student there? Thanks in advance!
Hello! I would be happy to provide information on Richard J. Dale College, which is part of the City Colleges of Chicago system. The application process is relatively straightforward, as the system operates on an open admissions policy. This means they generally accept all students who have a high school diploma or GED equivalent.
To apply, you'd usually need to fill out the online application and submit your transcripts and ACT or SAT scores (optional). Note that some specific programs might have additional requirements or a separate application process, so be sure to check the details for your intended area of study.
As for the college culture, it's quite diverse and offers opportunities for involvement. Richard J. Daley College tends to attract many non-traditional and part-time students, so the community can feel a bit different from a more traditional four-year university. The school offers various clubs, activities, and student support services that can help you make the most of your time there. Lastly, I've heard from many students who appreciated the smaller class sizes, which allowed more direct engagement with the professors. I hope this helps and all the best in your application process!
