<p>Good chance at Chicago, match/high match. I’ll probably see you in Georgetown :)</p>

<p>Take a look at mine? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/802020-texas-has-bison-but-vermont-has-ski-slopes-where-shall-i-end-up.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/802020-texas-has-bison-but-vermont-has-ski-slopes-where-shall-i-end-up.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>If I have an excellent, off-the wall creative essay (something that Chicago loves), apply early action and keep sending letter to my admissions officer (can you clarify this, I don’t really understand it?), how much will this increase my chances at Chicago?</p>
