<p>I think your chances are good. I mean, I didn’t have as good of stats as you did, and I got in lol.</p>

<p>Umm, I would advise you that stats aren’t too important in admissions. The most important thing is you sell yourself well in your essays, really bringing out the passion and your desire to go to a school with such an appreciation for knowledge. Just my opinion.</p>

<p>Btw, UChicago has no major in international relations :(. They have one I believe in international studies, and many political science and courses similar to those that you would find in an international relations major in other universities.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
