Fall 2024 Applications are now closed. stay tuned for updates about the winter 2025 application cycle!


APPLICATION PROCESS

UChicago RIG hosts two application cycles - Autumn and Winter academic quarters. Each application cycle begins with a written form demonstrating interest in real estate and investing. Selected candidates are asked to continue the interview process. Admitted students participate in RIG’s eight-week curriculum, and upon successful completion, become full members of the organization.

We do not expect candidates to have any prior experience in real estate and or investing. Our goal is to match candidates who have a deep desire to learn about the industry with our curriculum, resources, and community. RIG will host information sessions at the beginning of each application cycle where we highly encourage candidates to attend and meet leadership.
