<p>Very impressive... I really don't know what the stats are generally for UChicago students, but I think you're definitely in the range. I think you have a very good chance of getting in, especially if you apply EA.</p>

<p>Anyone else have an opinion? I could easily be mistaken about the UChicago applicant pool...</p>

<p>bumpidty bump bump</p>

4

<p>Yes, you have a great shot. </p>

<p>By the way, you say you are hispanic, I do not think Chicago considers ethnicity/race when conferring admission (not that you will need that!) but you should check anyhow.</p>

5

<p>well on collegeboard it says Ethnic status considered in admissions which is the same thing it says of like Cornell which takes URM's seriously..so im thinking/hoping at least a little bit</p>
