Do I stand a chance with EA?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Chicago ✅

<p>I'm a rising senior, female, Chinese, from Texas.</p>

<p>I really loved U of Chicago when I visited, and it's definitely my top choice right now.</p>

<p>SAT I: superscored, 2280 (M:770, CR:750, W:760 Essay:10) 2 sittings
ACT: 35 (W:33, M:36, R:36, S:36, Essay: 9 <--ew)
SAT II: Bio: 750, Chem: 770, Math II: 800 French: 720
Unweighted GPA in terms of 4.0 scale: 4.0
At my school, we do it out of 12 (12 is A+, 11 is A and so on): weighted = 11.8
School doesn't rank, but definitely in top 5% out of a class of about 140</p>

<p>Previous APs: APUSH (5) BC Calc (5) French AP Language (4) I was supposed to take Latin AP Vergil, but we learned the wrong curriculum so it's CL</p>

<p>Projected Senior year schedule:</p>

<p>Govt/Econ (no AP classes for those)
AP Crit lit
AP Physics
AP Chem
French 5 Literature CL
Multivariable Calculus CL
Advanced Portfolio</p>

<p>My school doesn't offer as many AP or CL classes, so every year I've had the most rigorous schedule possible</p>

<p>Honors/Awards:
Sophomore year: Chemistry and French III awards
Junior Year: French 4 award
High Honor Roll all 3 years so far (all A's)
French Honors Society 9,10,11
Latin Honors Society 9,10,11
I've placed in the NFC a couple years, I think once for the NLE
Regional and State gold medalist for piano solo in TPSMEA in 9th grade
Scholastic Arts silver key 11th grade
VASE regional and state superior rating 11th grade <-- I'm taking advanced portfolio next year so I'll definitely be submitting a visual arts supplement</p>

<p>Extracurriculars are a little slim</p>

<p>Volleyball four years: Varsity 10,11,12
Traveling competitive club volleyball 9,10
Piano lessons for 13 years
there might be some others but I can't come up with them on the spot</p>

<p>Summer:</p>

<p>Last summer I worked at my school's learning camp as a counselor for a month
this summer: research assistant position at a psychology lab (which I think is pretty strong) and taking a psychology class at Brown University</p>

<p>I have three teachers writing my recs: my pre-cal and calc teacher, my french teacher whom I've had three years, and my art teacher who I'll have all four years of high school. I'm really close to my french and art teachers, and pretty close to my math teacher, so I think they'll write great rec letters</p>

<p>Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>Your numbers are great. No worries there. You have some cool awards but like you said, your ecs arentnthat great. If you can translate why they were so meaningful, you’ll have a better shot. And definitely write how uchicago is your first choice. Statistically speaking, you have a good shot. Good luck!!!</p>
