<p>Applying to U of Chicago, early decision (or whichever the non binding one was), and I really have no idea if I'll get in, b/c I've heard a million different things. So people, be brutally honest.
GPA- 3.9 UW, 4.0 W (I only took 1 AP class thru Junior year but I'm in 3 now and have all A's... got a B freshman year, an A minus sophomore year but all solid A's and A+'s Junior year)
ACT- 35
Other: NHS, Varsity Lacrosse, Swim Team, Debate Team, Student Council for 1 year (kind of), plus I lived in France for 5 years and tested out of a bunch of French classes... I'm fluent and stuff so that might be an advantage...?? What I'm worried about is that I don't have leadership in any of the clubs I'm in... And I'm also worried b/c I feel like I don't have any fancy awards... the applications all asked for awards and I was like AHH! Oh, I also took the AP chem test w/o taking the class b/c my school didn't offer it and got a 4... pretty good right? :)
Job- Ski instructing
Finally, I think my essays were really good, which I know is really important for this school... I did the non scientific method one, I thought I was pretty creative... I even threw in a quote from the greatest genius ever, Sponge Bob ;) and I wrote a lengthy "optional essay" about my obsession with music, so hopefully they see my crazy artsy side with that.
Okay, I think that's it... I feel like I'm missing something but oh well. Lemme know, and be brutally honest!!</p>
