<p>OP</p>
<p>35 ACT – absolutely no need to retake. You won’t do yourself any real benefit by retaking.</p>
<p>3.6 GPA – I differ, a bit from others here. All 3.6’s are not created equally. First – weighted or unweighted? Second, what is your class rank? Does your school have grade inflation or grade deflation. If you had a horrible fresh year, but close to perfect soph and jr – that’s a plus.</p>
<p>The real question is where students with a 3.6 from your HS end up going. Check the data, or if you can’t get it online ask your GC.</p>
<p>I think your EC’s look ok. National competition in web design, Rally association awards.</p>
<p>FWIW, my D was about a 3.6-3.7 unweighted (4.5 weighted), 34 ACT top 10% but probably not top 5% – admits to Cornell, Northwestern, Wash U (to name 3). Chicago’s probably a bit tougher to get into, but not impossible with your stats. On the other hand, consider Chicago’s tiny acceptance rate one would have to say you’re less than 50/50 (perhaps much less, but so is everyone).</p>
