Essays/Personal Statements:
Going to be amazing

If you want to be competitive at UChicago, you need to pick up that GPA (or at the very least show an upwards trend). I would definitely retake the SAT or even take the ACT and make sure to get a 2200+ or 33+ to be competitive. Make sure to write compelling essays as well.

Even for the most qualified, UChicago is a reach. Best of luck.

U Chicago lists its SAT as the 2nd highest of any college in America. Their average gpa is also a 4.0/4.0. I would focus on schools that you actually have a shot at. If you really do want to just throw your appliction at them, I would try to get your SAT to at least a 1500+/1600. They do not look at SAT writing.

What other schools are you interested in?

High reach~impossible due to SAT and GPA. Why are you interested in Uchicago?
