5

<p>Commended by the College Board or the world in general?</p>

<p>Anime Club, that's fantastic.</p>

<p>Yeah man, you look pretty good, I think you look better than I did at least. Just present yourself as best as you can.</p>

6

<p>Your EC's are pretty weak so you should spend time making sure your essay is as good as possible.</p>

7

<p>iactually dont think his EC's are weak at all. I mean with some of the people on these chances/stats, it seems as though one needs to have found the cure to cancer in order to compete! Although it may seem he lacks a tad bit in leadership titles, he shows commitment in different fields of extra currics. And in terms of your numbers, it seems liek he's a pretty good fit.</p>

LOL! Why does this fit right in with my mental image of U Chicago? When I think of intellectualism, I always think of Risk and Cranium. :p</p>

<p>Thanks a lot. Would you say that U Chicago or Northwestern is more competitive?</p>

<p>All I can say is that you're in as long as you don't write too bad of an essay.</p>

<p>They're looking for different types of students, so it's hard to say which school is more competitive.</p>
