<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I just have a question.
I'm going to be a junior in high school when school starts in about two weeks for me.</p>

<p>I did ok freshman year w/ an unweighted GPA of 3.89. Which I think is pretty good.
But here's the kicker...I fell into major clinical depression my sophomore year which I'm not going into details on how. But anyways, I did and my grades just fell. My avg. GPA for sophomore year, was 3.4!!</p>

<p>I am determined to put aside my worries and try the best I can to get into UChicago.
I was wondering what my chances are as of now and what I HAVE TO DO in order to have a great chance of getting accepted there.</p>

<p>I have not taken my ACT or SAT yet, but I hope to get really good scores. Such as a 34 and 2200+.</p>

<p>I don't have many extracurriculars, but. Here's what I have:
I taught English to Cambodian students at a private english school in Cambodia. (of course)
I am fluent in Korean.</p>

<p>That's about it really; excluding church activities and such.</p>

<p>I know it's something to laugh at; my grades are horrible and so are my EC's.</p>

<p>But is there any way I can improve? What should I do exactly? Should I start getting involved in clubs and things?
My curriculum is regular: My schedule for this year in two weeks is: Honors English III, PreCalculus, Physics, Chemistry, Honors Biology, and a few others that I forget.</p>

<p>But please, would anyone help? I am motivated and determined to try my best.</p>

<p>well admissions for UC are VERY competitive…your senior year gpa will definitely help you overshadow your sophomore gpa… get a real nice gpa. and about SAT … a score around 2200 will be just acceptable. Take some AP classes. You definitely must get involved in more clubs/activities…and everything else will depend on the essay and the admission committee of course… put in some hard work from now…best of luck (:</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ve already taken APUSH, and I’m taking AP Gov and Politics. But senior year I plan to take AP Physics, AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Calc, and maybe AP Language. Lol</p>

<p>Thanks for the support. So I still have a chance right?</p>
