<p>My recommendations are great, although not written too well. My common app essay is coming along nicely, though I'm nervous about the UChicago supplement. I feel like everyone makes theirs so weird and unique and I can't do that. With that aside, do you think I'll be able to get in even if my essay isnt the quirkiest? It's more introspective. Thank you :[</p>

<p>UChicago is one of the most competitive schools in the country. That being said, you could basically get into any school you would like. You can never really say for sure, but i think you have a great shot here. Id call it a low match.</p>
