<p>I was just wondering what you got on your AP exams?</p>

<p>Definitely could be at UChicago…I think it all comes down to the writing, though. Your stats put you in good running…to distinguish yourself you’ve got to put out a really convincing essay.</p>

<p>Remember that Chicago doesn’t look at the SAT writing portion.
It’s all about the essays, but your chances look good otherwise.</p>

<p>sweet, i did not know that about uchicago didn’t count the writing portion</p>

<p>AP scores
Bio-3 (9)
Human Geo- 5 (9)
Chem-4 (10)
Art history-4 (10)
World History-5 (10)</p>

<p>This year, i think i scored 4s and 5s on all of my exams.</p>

<p>Chicago does not require SAT II’s either. It is your advantage to take them and do well though. Chicago does not look at the writing section either.</p>

7

<p>I wouldn’t say they completely ignore those sections, though. I mean, don’t purposefully fail 'em.</p>

8

<p>Good chance you’ll get in. If you can pull the writing up to 700 and write ammmazing essays. Good luck.</p>

<p>haha thanks guys!</p>

<p>i’m really interested in what types of essays we’ll get this upcoming year. Chicago always appear to have unique essays.</p>
