High match-you have a good chance of getting in.

It depends almost completely on the essay at this point, since you are competitive but not a shoo in.

Your profile looks like that of most bright, well-rounded kids. There’s nothing that makes it stand out from the other 15-20,000 applicants with a similar background, so your odds are likely 10% or thereabouts - slightly above the acceptance rate. I don’t know why @tspmf12 is calling Chicago a high match - saying that about a school with an acceptance rate below 10% is irresponsible at best. As with most applicants to the U of C, your decision will come down to essays.
