Unfortunately I had to leave a few activities to start working Junior year.</p>

<p>Worked 2 jobs Junior year plus weekly babysitting, nannied over Summer, currently working 1 job this year plus babysitting.</p>

<p>Recently in addition to learning French, I've been learning Korean and can write in Hangul. This is part of the reason why I want to go to University of Chicago- I want to major in International Business and Minor in East Asian Studies, a major/minor that very few colleges have! I could then take even more in depth Korean language classes. </p>

<p>University of Chicago is my dream school, and I know my chances are slim- I'd just like to know how slim. :p</p>

<p>What are your test sores? You would need pretty great test scores, as your GPA is just okay.</p>

<p>Ah forgot to add test scores. I only took the ACT, and I only got a 27 on it unfortunately.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, Marlena, but UChicago is a super reach for you. Never say never when it comes to those top tier schools, but your chances are not that favorable, I don’t think. The GPA could be boosted, of course, but you should be going in with at least a 30 ACT.</p>

<p>That’s what I figured. It’s alright though, I don’t call it a dream school for nothin :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>The middle 50% range (so 25% - 50%) for last year was 32 - 35. My kid got in with a 3.7 two years ago, but she had a 35 ACT and a 2380 SAT with a couple of 800 subject tests. They really value high test scores in admissions there. I think you would be best served to find some other colleges where you can combine international business and east Asian studies. I think a lot of larger state universities would have this combination.</p>
