Please chance me!!

<p>I am currently a junior at a highly regarded american school in the middle east, and I am looking to major in mathematics.</p>

<p>Here are my stats/qualities:</p>

<p>GPA:3.822 after 10th grade, bound to go up because of 2 APs this year and 3/4 the next year
Class Rank: 10 of 116
Very rigorous course load</p>

<p>SAT1: taking it in January, expecting a 1900 first time, will aim for a 2150 the second time after doing some intensive preparation
SAT2's: taking math2 at the end of this year, aiming for a 750+, will take biology in October of senior year(next year), aiming for a 700+</p>

<p>APs
This year: Stats and Econ this year (expecting a 5 on stats and maybe a 4 and a 5 on macro and micro)
Next Year: English (4), Cal A/B (5), Physics B (4/5), Biology (4)</p>

<p>Next years AP scores won't really matter since I will be applying ED.</p>

<p>OH and I also have a question.. Does U of Chicago require an official AP score report when we apply? Or can we just send our scores to them after their decision (for placement)</p>

Cricket Club: 6 years; competition with other clubs throughout the nation, recognition for being the best under 15 batsman in the nation; led our team to 3 championships and was the captain for 2 years

<p>This summer I am planning to go to Africa and do some development work. I hope that works out right because I have always wanted to go there and help the individuals residing in that part of the world.</p>

<p>I want to do a major in mathematics with a concentration in actuarial science.
I am a Pakistani/Canadian living in the Middle East
Does being young for your grade affect your chances in any way?(don't know if it will;the class of '10 is mostly born in 1992, while i was born in 1993).</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don't think being young affect that much. If you know you are going to score under 2000 for your first time, don't even take it. Do the "intense preparation" first xD Cuz a 1900 something would suck big time not only for U Chicago, for U Penn as well xDDD
Judging from your xtracurriculars, I think you have good chance. But you do need a good essay b.c. no one can guarantee you anything based on your stats nowadays - competition is insane
Again, you do need a good grade. After all, Chicago is most famous for its academics, students work very hard there. Without a solid academic performance, you would not catch up even if you do get in. With a 2200 on SAT, I'd say your chance is awesome</p>
