<p>I'm planning to apply to the University of Chicago as my #1 choice in the fall. I know they have really creative essay topics and they take a holistic approach to applications.</p>
<p>I have SAT's in their upper percentiles(CR-770 M-800) and decent EC's but my GPA is way on the low side for them(3.3 UW, 3.8 W).</p>
<p>Can my essay make my application if I absolutely nail it?</p>
