<p>My school's guidance counselor and my parents both agreed that it's a great fit... I just had some questions.</p>
<p>Firstly, what are my chances?</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic
Gender: Male
State of Residency: Louisiana
SAT Is: 2180 Composite (800 W, 690 CR, 690 M)
GPA: 3.95 (on a 4.0 scale)
Rank: 2/135</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Advanced Debate: 9, 10, 11, 12 (Captain - 12) (all-state: 10, 11, 12)
Varsity Swimming: 9, 10, 11, 12 (Captain - 11, 12) (conference champions: 9, 10, 11, 12)
Future Business Leaders of America: 10, 11, 12 (Vice President - 11) (President - 12)</p>
<p>^I only listed activities in which I hold leadership positions. I do participate in a variety of other activities though, including community service, Quill and Scroll, and some other honor societies.</p>
<p>My favorite subjects are English, History, and Biology (contradictory, I know). I don't enjoy math or chemistry. I'm looking for a program strong in both Biology and English & History. From what I gather, UChicago is strong in both.</p>
<p>Second question: Does UChicago offer good merit aid? I doubt I'd be eligible for a large sum of financial aid given my upper middle class status, so I was just wondering: merit scholarships, etc.? Do they ever give full rides, or at least sums greater than 10K per year for undergrads?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
