<p>Well if you can write then you should have no problem. No one here can tell you if you’re going to get in or not.</p>

<p>I don’t see any weaknesses, which means that you’re about as strong as applicants come, without having some crazy hooks. I wouldn’t sweat college admissions; if you really can write, and with your profile so far, you’re bound to get in somewhere good.</p>

<p>How do you compare to others in your school in terms of GPA, class rank, whatever? Are you in the top 20%? Top 10%?</p>

<p>I’d say youre in reach. Check on your rank, like overachiever1992 said because uchicago looks at that. Youre essay writing will really help you.</p>
