<p>hey!
So I can’t tell you about UChicago (the only person I know who went there was valedictorian of their class and had perfect everything, so that’s unrealistic), but with your good ACT/GPA and interesting extracurriculars, I think you have a good shot at Barnard. You’ve taken a challenging schedule, and you’ve done well on AP exams, etc so I would say that it’s a good match. Are you looking at any other Seven Sisters?</p>
