Also my brother is doing very well at UChicago right now; he attends there. I do not have many AP classes because during my junior and senior years of high school, I went to a boarding school where all classes were through a university, so all my classes were dual credit. All AP classes were taken in 9th and 10th grade.

Also two people in my school have been accepted EA to UChicago already.

You’ve clearly got the academics. Essays will determine “fit” to the admissions committee in my opinion. Good luck to you and congratulations on an amazing high school record.

I think you have a great shot. I just got accepted there as a legacy. So I think they might be trying to increase family connections to the College.

Hi , Did you get an offer?
