<p>Okay, I've posted on here before, but I just went into my school today to pick up my schedule and suddenly all that anxiety over colleges/grades/teachers began to seep back in after a long, stress-free summer. So, pretty much I am obsessed with U-Chicago. Honestly it is the only place I want to go. I hesitate to become too obsessed, but yes, my love for U-Chi is borderline-obsession/stalking/idolatry. </p>
<p>So, please, someone tell me I can get in! I don't feel like listing everything I've done in the past three years, because I don't think all my experiences in the past three can or should be minimized into numbers and lists. (my college couns. would say otherwise) But, pretty much, I am one of the people that would have been better off being "free-schooled" meaning learning what you want, when you want. I love doing indep. studies and taking classes online. Anyway, the important stuff: 30 on ACT, 3.9 GPA. I don't know if my recs will be "superb" but I think my essays will be. I love politics, particularly international politics, and have worked as an intern in several political campaigns. Also, I play two instruments and have taken those pretty far. Besides that I'm a varsity athlete, when I find the time to be (much to the chagrin of my coach). I spend most of my time studying, never miss school, and never cheat (to me, that takes all the fun out of learning). I try to live by the idea that there is no time limit on learning Again, I really, really, really want U. Chicago. I know it's where I belong. Do you think I have a chance?</p>
