<p>My essay have gotten very positive feedback, so I would consider them at very least on par with most of the other students applying (put me in the 45th-60th percentile among accepted students, if we were ranking essays). </p>

<p>My recommendations will probably be great, but I won't say anything definitely since I don't have them yet. </p>

<p>I plan on interviewing and I'm very passionate about the school and what I want to major in so I think that it will go over very well. </p>

<p>So what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Ethnicity/Intended major/location/income?</p>

<p>Intended Major does not matter.
Income does not matter.</p>

<p>Ethinicity do matter though.</p>

<p>Anyway,
Uchicago: Reach (8.8% admit rate: Automatic reach)</p>

<p>Ethnicity: White.</p>

<p>On paper you are fine, it will come down to the quality of your essay. Though remember that UChicago is a reach for everybody school.</p>
