<p>If you want to be accepted by Chicago, you need to give your essays every measure of excellence. Your application will not be complete without them. Your stats are impressive, but until you are confident about your essays, you cannot be confident about admission. So, frankly, neither you nor I can judge your true chances at this time, because the prompts haven’t been published.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
