<p>boring, generic ECs. but since you are a rising senior there's nothing you can do about that. same thing with GPA. 3.75 is pretty bad for uchicago. your 2080 is unimpressive as well. i say right now you are a reject. but if you can pull that sat up to 2250, then you have a decent shot</p>

<p>oh, that's helpful, firefox, considering that I was an admit to Chicago with lower GPA/SATs.</p>

<p>Chicago and NU are opposite schools in many respects. Do research on both schools (visits, their websites, or even on these boards) before you apply to both. I can guarantee you that you'll like one more than the other, and the other you'll dislike enough as to put it towards the bottom of your list if not reject it outright.</p>

<p>If you have an obsession with the city of Chicago and are looking for safeties, check out DePaul and Loyola. Both are in sweet neighborhoods.</p>
