<p>What are my chances? thanks</p>

<p>Extremely high chances provided you have solid essays.</p>

<p>you have the essentials. however, through reading the posts, many many many students just like you were waitlisted or rejected. focus on your essays. I think Uchicago finds those really important. express personality and good luck :)</p>

<p>p.s. there is not a “Letters and Science” school at UChicago.</p>

<p>I think he’s referring to the Law, Letters, and Society major?</p>

<p>I hate to say this, but without the regular SAT scores, you just do not know. The ACT alone is probably not enough. You seem to have a LOT of APs with scores for just two years of AP testing.</p>

<p>Looks like you have a great shot to me! Just work hard on those essays. UKGirl, the ACT is enough.</p>

<p>^I second that, I got in with just ACT scores. Essays are what matter, I think.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nah, I think this is a cut-and-paste job.</p>

<p>I disagree strongly that applicant has outstanding chances. It seems that many are assuming that having great stats means having a great chance at getting in. Quite the contrary. If you’ll observe Brown’s statistics from the class of 2013, while keeping in mind that Brown had an acceptance rate of 11% that year, you’ll see that students with an ACT score of 33-35 were accepted 14% of the time. Since Chicago’s acceptance rate will be about 15 or 16% = 1.5 x 11% = next year, multiply that number by 1.5 and you get 21%. With no other information then, applicant has a chance of acceptance pinned at 21%. (However, even THIS is conservative, because 33 is lowest on the 33-35 scale AND Chicago has higher standardized test scores than Brown on average.) If you really think that 21% chance of getting into a school is great, then your definition greatly differs from my own. OP’s chances will rest mainly on essays.</p>
