<p>So...... Do you think I have a chance at the U of Chicago with these stats? I would be very interested in joining their cross country and track and field teams. </p>

<p>Secondly....Would you think they would recruit an athlete like me with times like and if so, would this increase my chances?:
5k Race 16:45
800m 2:01
1600m 4:30
3200m 9:57</p>

<p>i think you have a VERY good chance. but no, i wouldn’t send in your times because they already see that you’re a good runner. if they wanted to recruit you for your running, they would’ve contacted you and seen your times already.
still, you’ll do fine getting into uchicago. i know people much lower credentials that have gotten in :)</p>

<p>You run a mile in 4:30? Impressive. Yes, you should have a great shot!</p>

<p>chance me anyone?</p>

<p>Awesome stuff! Man. Makes me jealous because our stats are similar, our top schools are similar, our leadership in ec’s is also similar, but your a runner and I’m an actor. You should be fine. Good luck, and hope to see you at orientation 2012 ;)</p>

<p>Your academics are quite good. However, if you want to use your athletic edge, contact the coach. They dont always contact you since Chicago is not in Division I.</p>
