<p>Expecting good essay and excellent teacher reccommendations.
Please evaluate my chances at Chicago and feel free to suggest any other college you think I should apply to.
Thanks!</p>
<p>i like how every chances post i've ever read says they have excellent essays and recs. just a thought.</p>
<p>I'll have good teacher recs because most of the people at my school are idiots. J/K but not really.</p>
<p>You have a perfect GPA, top quartile SAT scores (for Chicago or just about any school), you're number one in your school, and you're taking full advantage of the courses they offer you, oh AND you're from an under-represented state. How is whether you have a chance even a question!?</p>
<p>I agree with Sarahbara, you've got a very good chance of getting in. But as i say with all college advice, make sure you apply to a safety school that you would enjoy as well as u. chicago. Just keep those grades up for the next two years and you're all set. Good luck and enjoy your upper years at your high school. Ah, one final note, try taking some of the SAT II's in subjects that your school does not have AP classes for. That will help to show what you really know (but don't forget to do a practice test first just to be sure you'll do well).
Good luck!</p>
<p>you will get rejected because they will think you're using them as a backup...j/k...good job with the nice academic stats, and maybe do some more volunteer service this summer, and good luck~~</p>
<p>bummp...............</p>
<p>If you can craft excellent essays, and show interest in the school, then I'm pretty sure that you will get in. Also, email the admissions every once in a while.</p>
