Help out your poor man

Applying to College

<p>Alrite guys, im gonna be full on honest here. I used to study in Australia for until year 10, and moved back to South Korea this year (start of year 11 - January)</p>

<p>My grades in Australia were alright, but the Australian grading system is completely different to the US, and somehow the international school that i attend to here in Korea transferred my grades weirdly and my GPA was on 2.9. However, this semester I was able to get a 4.0 GPA and I am hoping to maintain this. I have 3 semesters left and I doubt I can improve my GPA much, but I think I could get around 2300 (maximum) on the SAT if I try really hard.</p>

<p>I really want to get into the University of Chicago, but since it's so competitive I'm starting to freak out. I wanted to ask a few questions regarding the UoC.</p>

<ol>
<li>What is the acceptance rate?</li>
<li>How high is the acceptance rate for international students?</li>
<li>Although my cumulative GPA is low overall, seeing the trends and improvements of my GPA, is it possible for the University of Chicago to accept?</li>
<li>How high should my SAT score be for the University of Chicago to accept me?</li>
<li>Does University of Chicago look at SAT II scores?</li>
<li>I'm thinking of majoring business, what are other schools that offer a good business/commerce course and that I can realistically go to?</li>
</ol>

<p>THANKS GUYS :D</p>

<ol>
<li>19%: Extremely low…of course, it might have something to do with recruiting a bunch of unqualified applicants to lower the percentage. Either way, it’s still very selective.</li>
<li>Don’t know about this, but on the link I just gave you, there should be a link to the school.</li>
<li>Upward trends are always good. You should explain your circumstances to them though.</li>
<li>CR: 700-780 M: 700-780 W: 690-770</li>
<li>I’m pretty sure they do. They consider your highest scores too, by the way.</li>
<li>I’m bad at answering these types of questions. I hope someone else will be able to answer it.</li>
</ol>

<p>Actually, the U of C acceptance rate for 2011 fell to 15.8%. Send out enough spam mail, get enough unqualified applicants to apply, and you too can go up in the USNWR rankings.</p>
