<p>I held a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant from June 2010-June 2011 and was let go because the restaurant closed down.
From July 2011-October 2011, I worked for an online business by doing inventory and helping market the company's products on Amazon.com as well as their own website. It was a temporary position, and I was let go when all of the products had been uploaded.</p>

<p>Other random things:</p>

<p>1) I was voted Most Talented in my grade.
2) I'm my school's student announcer for a daily news segment that we air on TV.
3) I proposed the idea for a Film Festival at our school which was put into action this year and raised about $600.</p>

<p>Chicago's a reach school for me, but the other two are a little more reasonable.
I appreciate honest feedback.</p>

<p>First of all, go with your ACT, and UChicago superscores, so your superscored composite may be higher for UChicago, which means: Higher chance at getting in.</p>

<p>I’d say low reaches for NYU and UChicago (depending on how much higher your composite will be once you superscore it.)</p>

<p>Chicago superscores?? Didn’t know that. haha Well I have a 31 superscore which is somewhat better.
So are you saying that UVA is pretty attainable for me?</p>

<p>UVA - Match/Low Reach
NYU - Low Reach
UChicago - Mid Reach</p>

<p>I think you have an especially good shot at NYU and UVA to be honest.</p>

<p>Bump up the jams.</p>

<p>UChicago is a reach, NYU could go either way, but I think you’ll do well for UVA</p>

<p>Punks bump up to get beat down.</p>

<p>For UVA you seem to have a pretty good shot with those ECs and GPA. NYU I don’t know about, but UChicago you might have a tougher shot. The valedictorian of my class with ~10 APs (all 5s) before entering senior year got deferred, but he also didn’t have much ECs. You should definitely have a shot though.</p>
