<p>Hey UChicago CCers,</p>
<p>I'm an EA applicant to the University of Chicago. I haven't been worrying too much about decisions since my submission. Not because I think I'll get in (NOO, it's the opposite), but because I know I can't change anything about it anymore (correct me if I'm wrong, if there's anything I can do to help my application right now, PLEASE tell me).
Now, however, it's a week before December 15th and I have started to get extremely extremely nervous. I feel so sick because I want to get in really badly.</p>
<p>Could I get a quick CHANCE ME so I can set the right mindset before I get my decision letter?</p>
<p>Especially tell me if I should not hope.</p>
<p>SAT score: 760 CR, 710 Math, 780 Writing
GPA: 3.38 UW :(
High School Courseload: many AP classes, and many honors. gpa brought down by low honors & AP math/honors analytical english class grades (as in B-s, nothing lower on my transcript).
High School Type: Very competitive public.
Other: Great Art portfolio, being recruited by many art schools, and many awards. Consistent ECs and leadership positions in other disciplines as well. State titles/nationally recognized.
Essays: I think they were good.
Interview: very good. Conversation went smoothly, interviewer forgot about his
question list after two questions and we just talked. Told me I would fit in very well at UChicago (was this comment just courtesy?)
Other: I took college classes during sophomore and junior school year and submitted a transcript as well.</p>
<p>Is my gpa unforgivable? It's very, very low compared to MOST people who have applied EA. Only a few people from my school have gotten in with such a low gpa. There's a splatter of Bs in my junior year, and really, throughout my transcript.</p>
<p>Let me know what mindset I should have! Or anything I can do now!
Any info/advice/criticisms/chance mes are greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>(I changed my stats a tiny bit so I can't be traced. But so minimally it's basically the same Ex. 720 math SAT to 710)</p>
