<p>Hey guys! If you were admitted into UCHICAGO, do you have any advice for the CC'ers who still have to go through the process? Personally, my unweighted GPA is a 3.6. If I had amazing EC's, test scores, reccomendation letters, and essays, is there a shot? Other advice is appreciated as well!</p>
<p>You sound EXACTLY like me and I just got in! My GPA was almost exactly that and my class rank similarly low. So yes, there is a hope!</p>
<p>I had a ~3.8 unweighted and received a likely letter. Win lots of awards and hope your school reports class rank (and that it deflates grades).</p>
<p>I had a 3.5 at my school but our grading is weird, so maybe they recalculate? Anyway, my GPA wasn’t very good. The best thing to do is do really well on standardized tests (SAT/ACT, ESPECIALLY AP exams) and for the love of all that is good, write your essays well! That seemed to be my saving grace, in addition to a couple of fairly substantial awards. Try and communicate you want to go there and would fit in well - at least from what I’ve heard from them, your GPA won’t define you as much as course rigor etc.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!</p>
