<p>An ACT score jump from 34 to 35 won’t do you any good. For all purposes, they’re equivalent.</p>

<p>You have a good academic background, with solid classes. Chicago likes that. However, it won’t push you across the line if your essays are average, so I would suggest concentrating on your essays as much as possible.</p>

<p>Rough chances? If you apply EA, high match. If you apply RD, then low-mid reach.</p>

<p>thanks, but you know, if a 35 is realistic for me, than a 36 is only a few more right answers away… there’s always a chance</p>

5

<p>Getting a 35 or 36 is really unnecessary.</p>

6

<p>I find that to be a little exaggerated, i mean how many 36’s apply here? That kind of test score has got to stand out, right?</p>

7

<p>A lot of 36’s apply to Chicago, and many of them get rejected. Frankly, it won’t make you stand out at all.</p>

<p>Chicago would much rather have a 32 ACT student with great ECs and ambition than a 36 ACT who’s a bit too obsessed about standardized tests for his own good. Even when Chicago’s acceptance rate was higher, there were many students with 2400 SATs who would get rejected.</p>

8

<p>Just wondering, how did you do on the SAT’s in comparison to your ACT’s?</p>

<p>750 750 750 2250, essentially the same thing</p>
