<p>Someone?
Are my stats that bad?</p>

<p>It’s only been a few hours. Give it time. Your ECs and volunteer work look good. If you write killer essays and raise your ACT by a few more points, you have a chance. That being said, schools like UChicago are reaches for just about everyone. I can only think of places on the east coast & some in the south. Take a look at Loyola, NYU, UAlabama, and Tulane. And your state schools. If you live in VA, UVA would be a great choice.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice! I forgot to say that I live in Illinois.</p>

<p>Also, does chance go up with EA for UChicago?</p>
