<p>What are my chances of getting into U chicago?</p>

<p>Probably not all that huge I know. Specially with these numbers.</p>

<p>But tell me what you think</p>

<p>SAT score: 1970</p>

<p>Writing: 660
Reading:640
Maths:680</p>

<p>Full IB Diploma (all my classes are counted as weighted I assume)</p>

<p>I had a 3(D) one term in maths.</p>

<p>My grades frin 9-11 are pretty dire. (A mix of As Bs and Cs and even two Ds in grade 9!)</p>

<p>My final predicted grades, however, were
Eco Higher Level 7
Math Higher Level 6
History Higher Level 6
English SL 6
French SL 5
Bio SL 4</p>

<p>My mid terms were the same.
My mock exam grades which I'm sending in are 777666 (same classes in same order)</p>

<p>7-A* 6-A 5-B 4-C 3-D 2-E</p>

<p>ECs: Newspaper (editor in chief), drama lead for 3 years, Soccer captain, and Basketball team, worked at various NGOs</p>

<p>Interview went very well. Talked about Banking, current affairs, literature, women </p>

<p>I'll PM you if you want to see my essays I'll PM you because my I don't think my scores really reflect me. Feedback would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Your SATs are definitely sub-par for U of C. However, this may be partially forgiven if you're from an underrepresented country.</p>

<p>This is what troubles me. If your overall GPA isn't at least an A- you'll most likely be rejected. Remember that U of C is more selective than some Ivies (Cornell, arguably Brown) and is a reach for everyone, even people with perfect SATs and GPAs (and believe me, there are loads of those applying).</p>
