uchicago chances???

<p>I know u guys get this daily but i am dying to know what are my chance because UChicago is my #1 school</p>

<p>Dominican/ Latino Boy, Catholic

SAT: 1690 SAT2: Spanish-700 and US History-650

<p>My parents never attended college</p>

<p>EC:I have been on 2 foriegn exchange program: Japan and Hungary, President of my school, Captain of Volleyball team and Mock trail team, On the Soccer team, Math Team, Chess Team, Science Club, Marist Youth, Student Council,</p>

<p>Volunteer work: Clean churches, teach catechism classes, habitat for humanity, Build a school in Brooklyn and I taught classes there over the summer for work </p>

<p>I take college class at BMCC and i am going to have more than 12 credicts before entering college.</p>

<p>rec- were perfect(read both)
Mid Year Grades- 98-1st mp, 94-2nd mp, and 89 for midterms
essay-very good</p>

<p>Well, the SAT score might keep you out; if you split the 1690 evenly you'd be at about an 1120 which is well below the average score.. other than that, everything looks solid. URM might help; good luck!</p>

<p>Chicago discards the SAT writing score, if that helps</p>

<p>My crystal ball is fuzzy tonight. What other schools are you applying to, xtopher?</p>

<p>well i apply to 17 colleges, which i guess i alot, BC BU NYU Dartmouth Northeastern, Penn State(which i got in already), 4 SUNY's (and i got into ALbany and University of Buffalo), Villanova, Umass Amherst, Fairfield, Uchicago, George Washingotn University, American University and DUKE.</p>

<p>Yikes - 17! You have more energy than I ever did. Congrats on your admits in hand - Penn State is a wonderful school. One of the Vals from my son's HS is there now, and is enjoying it tremendously (he turned down P'ton for a big ole merit scholarship at Penn State). You should have very good options this fall. I am guess that UChicago is a bit of a longshot for you, but its hard to tell without seeing your essays and your recs. I think that GWU and American are good prospects, and that, with their location, would be enjoyable for you to attend.</p>

<p>thank you for answering</p>

<p>You are most welcome. Please let me know what college is lucky enough to get you when YOU decide in April. You are clearly a very motivated young man. I can't predict your college, but I don't think I am going out on a limb by predicting a bright and interesting future for you.</p>
