Chance Me (sort of) - Chicago EA 2024

I would really appreciate any answers or feedback on the subject if y’all are willing to help. I am applying for a cancer biology major. I am out of state and from a wealthy area of New York. I know that it’s impossible to truly chance someone since Chicago is a reach for every applicant, but I just want to know if I have little to no chance of admission.

Thanks for any help I get in advance and thank you for taking the time to read!

Strong application. EA is extremely selective and plenty of highly-qualified applicants are deferred every year. If that happens to you, be ready with a Plan B; for instance, switching your application to ED2 if that opportunity is offered to you.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you! I’ll definitely post back here when I receive a decision :smiley:
