<p>How would I match up with these schools so far? How should I improve? What schools should I be at?</p>

<p>(Also, UChicago has sent me 15+ emails within a 5 month period. Is this a typical practice for them or are they truly interested?)</p>

2

<p>bump for interest</p>

<p>ACT score is low for most of those schools. Get it up to at least a 34.</p>

<p>legacy at Penn does not matter unless you apply ED. So if you are not applying ED, then you can forget about it.</p>

<p>What is your class rank? Need to know that before giving you chances.</p>

4

<p>I’ll be taking the act again to bring that up. I was in the top 3% out of my class of 800-something last semester, but I should be in the top 2% this semester.</p>

5

<p>Also, would the University of Virginia be a feasible option?</p>

6

<p>agree w/cortana - legacy only matters if you ED to Penn. and it better be a close relative (not great-uncle once-removed). what school do you plan to apply to?</p>

<p>uchicago sending you tons of emails isn’t an indicator of ‘interest in you,’ rather you probably did well on the psat or asked them to mail you</p>
