The University of Chicago selected Kyla Jimenez, Intrinsic Belmont Class of 2023, for early admission and a four-year, full-ride scholarship. UChicago staff came to Intrinsic last week to surprise her with the news.
From Erin Estrada, Director of Postsecondary Counseling, Intrinsic Schools: “It was just so affirming for her to know that not only is UChicago a really great school, but it’s also a school where she belongs. So, her decision to apply early decision was obviously the right one, but it’s also just grounded in the amazing community that UChicago’s been able to build for students in their Collegiate Scholars Program, students in Chicago, students in this community. It makes it such a special place, so I’m just thrilled for her.
“Kyla’s been No. 1 in her class since her first semester freshman year. We all knew she was going to go off and do really great things, but for her to have the exact outcome that she was hoping for and to be celebrated like this is just an affirmation of the past four, six, 16 years of her life.”
