<p>haha im not excactly sure how my school weights the grades but its 5.42 on a 5 scale whatever that means
and wow, those are pretty damn god statistics
u really think so???
U Chi is probably my second favorite school on that list, is it really harder to get into then uPenn or Dartmouth???
what kind of safety do u reccomend for me?
im interested in business schools and especially business schools with good neuroscience programs
also for columbia it would be the engineering school and im from new york if that helps with the Agg school or hurts with UVA
thanks for everyones input in advance</p>

<p>My mistake, it depends on which school you're applying to, but generally Chicago isn't as competitive as Dartmouth (35% vs 15% acceptance rates, respectively). So on second thought, Chicago would be the low reach and Dartmouth would be the high reach. :)</p>
