<p>Of course you have a chance. With a 3.85UW, a 33ACT and a challenging course load you will be on par with the bulk of applicants for uchicago. Having said that, there obviously isn’t room for everyone who is statistically qualified. It will likely come down to things like essays, recommendations and (unfortunately) luck. I think the right mindset is to be prepared for a rejection letter, but definitely don’t count yourself out because it sounds like you are a competitive applicant.</p>
