UChicago EA chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi all, and thanks in advance</p>

<p>I am a caucasian student from a specialized and very competetive magnet high school in NJ</p>

<p>GPA: 3.82, school doesn't weight
I have good upward trend, and so far my junior year GPA was the best</p>

<p>SAT: 800cr, 780m, 730w
SAT2: 760 2c, gonna take 2 more </p>

<p>Senior sched;
IB History
IB Lit
AP Micro
AP Psych
AP Stats
Linear Algebra and Differential Equations</p>

<p>E.C.:
- Captain of Quiz Bowl
- Model UN equivalent of Co-Captain
- Varsity Debate, possibly Captain
- NHS - officer
- Newspaper contributing editor
- officer in some other clubs but i probably wont write it since they are more negligible
- internship at NBC</p>

<p>Awards:
- Various debate, quiz bowl, and model un awards (theres no point listing them)
- NJ state 1st place medical math, 2nd place biomedical debate
- probably some other stuff i can think of later</p>

<p>Recs: two really good teacher recs, guidance rec i think would be fine
Essays: i havent done them yet but i think i can definitely give a good response, especially with their "unsual" questions</p>

<p>Intended major: sociology</p>

<p>Other colleges: Amherst, Swarthmore, Brown, Columbia, Pton, Yale, NYU, George Washington University (i think it is a reasonable safety), Northwestern, mostly I still have to think about it</p>

<p>thanks again in advance, if you could note some chances on the other colleges that would be great</p>

<p>I think that with quirky essays you will make it in at UChicago EA, but doesn't UChicago only to ED?
Chance me?

<p>Chicago does not do ED -- only EA. GWU may be a target based on scores, but they like their yield, too. Have a safety that will love you and that you'll love back.</p>

<p>im also member of National Spanish Honor Society, have played piano extensively for about 10 years, and the internship sort of accounts for what i did during the summer (as in why i dont have any of those stupid summer programs or "leadership" forums)</p>

<p>i have 500+ comm. service hours (mainly i worked at a camp all of my sophmore summer, though other activities as well)</p>

<p>i have also worked as a tutor through all of high school</p>

<p>i took basically all the APs that could fit into my schedule, but the school does limit us</p>
