<p>m,v: 770, 780 but gpa: around 4.1~4.2 ish :( that's only around 20% in a school of 5000
do i have any hope?</p>
<p>you have hope. uchicago, unlike many other top universities, will look past a weakness of yours if you make up for it in your essays/recs/ext.</p>
<p>dont sweat about it.</p>
<p>how is 4.1/4.2 20%? What's it is on a scale of?</p>
<p>In my school, unweighted, its out of 4.0, and weighted is at a max of 4.3</p>
<p>oops 10% i meant. maybe 15%?
uw is out of 4.0, w 4.7
thanks a lot guys :)</p>
<p>I'm somewhat reversed....I'm in the top 3% if my class, but only have like a 1360 (M+V)...</p>
<p>So, I guess we're both ****ed</p>
<p>I got in EA and I have a high SAT/low GPA. You have a chance- you just have to deliver with the essays/ecs/etc.</p>
<p>what do you consider a low GPA?</p>
<p>ditto gambadent... i was accepted EA with a 2240/1510 and 3.68 uw from a tough schedule</p>
<p>well I got in EA with a 2250, 1550 on the SATs and a 3.8 gpa which was borderline top 10%. I think a lot depends on your essays.</p>
<p>My S was admitted RD with an uw GPA of 3.41 (out of 4.0), and a rank of 185/405. He had high test scores, but it was his Essays, EC's & Recs that pulled him through, ...particularly his essays.</p>
<p>Anyone get in with low SAT scores or am I dreaming? Bye, Chicago... I so want to go there.</p>
<p>how low is low?</p>
<p>this low...</p>

<p>Thanks Esquared...!</p>
<p>My scores: 670CR 560M 690WR
Too low for any competitive school, huh? ... =( But it's not like I'm going to do Math or Astrophysics in college. Still, though, it's low. It's so stupid because I'm actually quite good in Math. I'm just really not used to standardized tests because I've never had any in my school (it's a French school-- where we have 3-4 hour exams in every subject at the end of senior year which require real analytical and critical skills). Not to mention we're doing both the American and the French curriculum.</p>
<p>If you show them that you're a wonderfully, fantastically delicious sex-bot with great interest in the school and a great mind, I don't see why they shouldn't accept you.</p>
<p>haha, your scores are amazing compared to mine...</p>
<p>I got in with a 3.9 UW and 33 on my ACT's. I got a 2130 on my SAT's, but I ended up not sending them. And 1360 is quite good, Eric. :P</p>
<p>But if you go to a super-competative school, they take that into consideration. As long as you demonstrate an academic fervor, you're fine.</p>
<p>eh....its moderately competitive</p>
<p>JBPH- that's not too low at all! Test scores aren't a huge factor, so if everything else is in order you'll be good.</p>
<p>You were about 2 questions away from a 1400, modest-face.</p>
<p>oh, i can't get enough of those hyphened adjectives</p>
<p>They're splendor-ific</p>
