<p>Your name sounds asian (Korean maybe) and you do well in football, that alone should make people look at you seriously. I can’t say anything about GPA because you should put the out of a fraction, like 3.8/4.0 (i’m guessing) or 5.3/X. Rank 2 says alot though and unless your high school never sends anyone to pretigious colleges, you have a very good shot at Uchicago. Get SAT scores above 2300, write some killer essays, and you’ll probably be guaranteed a spot.</p>
