<p>oyeah and i was thinking about chicago ea if that helps one's chances at all</p>

3

<p>Your chances look good for Chicago EA so far, but make sure you keep up your grades because junior year grades are very important!</p>

4

<p>chicago's ea deadline was nov 1st, so unless u applied already...u missed it.
and also, i asked the rep who came to my school, and she said that there's not advantage to applying ea at all.</p>

5

<p>no i'm a junior...that would've been pretty sad if i were a senior lol</p>

6

<p>o haha. my bad.
ok in that case, chicago's ea still stands, no advantage, but ur stats are amazing. apply to like harvard. no joke.</p>

7

<p>I visited Harvard, and it just didn't seem right to me. From my perspective, there is no better university than Chicago out there (at least, for someone of my personality type).</p>

8

<p>ummm i meant just generally, like an impossible school. lol
but if u like chicago, by all means go for it.</p>

<p>good for you for choosing a school based on what it feels like to you and how well you will succeed there, rather than its prestige(not that U. Chicago doesnt have prestige, most nobel laureate faculty in the US I think... but you get what I meant)</p>

10

<p>Well how about Pomona? Isn't that more selective than Chicago? What are my chances there? Help appreciated, thanks.</p>
