2

<p>In, as long as you present yourself well. Your stats and ECs are impressive alone (and would make you very good competition), but your minority status puts you over the top.</p>

3

<p>eyo?1?!4?!/$1</p>

4

<p>im dissapointed in the chicago alum...although it is sunday night and your all probably dying before finals and ****.</p>

5

<p>i'm not sure about your chances, but i'd love to see you get in seeing as how we have similar stats.</p>

6

<p>I would say really good chance at Uchicago. But minority status + stats (if I assume that you wrote a good essay as well) would get you in, no doubt. You know, I always wondered which UC does not offer Engineering... I think they need to get with the program. </p>

<p>But it doesn't really matter; its natural science programs are top tiers and churn out more good Electrical Engineers than in other schools.</p>

7

<p>I think they're adding some grad chemical engineering or something to that effect. It was the headline of the Chronicle last year- although it's graduate level engineering so you may have to wait a bit.</p>

8

<p>How hard up are they for minorities with great stats?</p>

<p>thanks i think?</p>
