<p>UChicago is not one of those schools where you can say “oh you’ll definitely/very likely get in” because it is so hard to get in. But when it comes to your stats, they’re looking pretty good! Make sure you do well on the ACT though since that is important :slight_smile:
Do you have any AP classes or SAT subject tests?</p>
