<p>I think you’re borderline. That is, you could be in, could be out. Wouldn’t be surprised with either decision. I would classify Chicago as low reach. Make your essays as good as possible to give you a boost.</p>

<p>thanks for the honesty. where do you think i could use the most improvement in terms of gpa, test scores, ec’s, etc?</p>

<p>Like phuriku said, work on those essays. You have solid (not great, not bad) stats, so it’s your essays that make the difference between you being bland and you being a great fit.</p>

<p>Other than essay, if u can increase your act to 34 will help a bit. what is ur sat?</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s all in your essays at this point. Familiarise yourself with Chicago and get a good sense of what kind of applicant you want to present yourself as.</p>
