<p>I'd say it's a reach, possible, but better find some matches and safeties. GPA is ok. ACT could come up some. Any SAT II's? SCUBA is not an EC, just a priviledge. More leadership needed in serious ECs.</p>
<p>Chicago is more interested in your thinking than in your list of EC's. Like most selective schools, it's not looking for a long list of EC's (mere resume-building) but for leadership and iniative and achievement in a few. </p>
<p>Chicago would probably be charmed by your being a football captain (that's leadership). But it will look hard at your longer-term interests, your "mind" (as reflected in your essays, and supported by letters of recommendation). </p>
<p>IMO, you could be very competitive at Chicago.</p>
