<p>yeah ok you’ll probably get in with a scholarship. this from a current student.
the research experience and founding of a charitable organization are big draws…don’t sweat the gpa or sat scores. u of c looks for pple who have unique experiences.
plus they’ll probably jump to let you in if you’re a model lol we need some beautification around here…</p>

3

<p>I think you have a very high chance of getting in. Good luck!</p>

<p>Dude that 660 on the Physics SAT II is ugly, especially for someone whose in IB Physics HL… that may call your aptitude into question somewhat.</p>

5

<p>But you don’t have to submit that Physics SAT II if you don’t want to.</p>

6

<p>I would set your admission probability at well over half.</p>

<p>And yes, I would suggest utilizing Score Choice for the SAT II Physics.</p>

7

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>Just some resume-things, it would be terrific if you could specify what your numbers mean. “Increased membership by 200%” …so, of your section? Of the whole band? Was it from 1 member to 2 members, or from 10 to 20?</p>

<p>you look like me, but with sports and science added on and a somewhat lower SAT. Since I got in, i think you should be fine. Btw if you do come here and want to continue Sax, make sure you bring your music with you and audition at begginign of year… I left my stuff at home and missed out for the whole year because i was under the impression that you could audition again in winter, boy was I wrong.</p>
