Which schools should I (she) apply to otherwise?
That GPA sticks out like a sore thumb
GPA is weak. Does she go to a well-regarded high school? If so, that could help, but GPA is still an issue.
Yes, the high school is known for its academic rigor.
Is she Pakistani or American (Is she applying as an international student)?
If anyone still wants to answer, I posted a new thread: (the person he is referring to in this post is me!!) http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1834178-chance-me-for-uchicago-low-gpa-high-sat.html
