<p>Why are you interested in UChicago? It is not the best place to be involved with drama, you know.</p>

<p>It’s true that the University of Chicago may not be “the best place” to be involved with drama, but it has a strong corps of (rather intellectual) drama kids, and a really spiffy new theater supposedly coming next year. And given the vitality of theater in Chicago (the city), as well as the presence of one of America’s top orchestras and opera companies, it’s not a bad place at all for someone like the OP (who, I would bet, is also interested in some of the other schools with the reputation for being good for drama kids with high academic performance too).</p>

<p>One of the [recent</a> Admissions blog entries](<a href=“https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2009/05/hidden_talents_a_guest_post_by.html"]recent”>https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2009/05/hidden_talents_a_guest_post_by.html) indirectly addressed this particular complaint. Check out the last paragraph especially.</p>

<p>As for chances, FuturDoc (or whatever you want to be called), I’m in no position to predict. I agree with signitblank and jsp.squishy in the opinion that your resume is impressive. You’ve definitely proved devotion to a strong, focused pursuit (theatre). The most important other factors, as far as I can glean from admissions, are a challenging and successful academic career (suggested by your healthy number of APs and related grades), and powerful essays. The very last, no one can really predict. But good luck with application to Chicago, and with all the other colleges you discover and approach.</p>

<p>haha. I am NOT interested in pursuing drama as a career:)
However, I plan on majoring in international relations and minoring in theatre.</p>

<p>I LOVE musical theatre and opera, but I want to continue it for fun!
It is not something I want to do forever.</p>

<p>I agree that Chicago isn’t the best place even if you want to just continue it for fun… I mean you ARE considering theater as a minor… </p>

<p>But your chances at Chicago should be very good, I think.</p>
