I would like to know if I have a realistic chance of getting into the University of Chicago, before I put all my effort into their essays. According to Naviance, the average GPA acceptance from my school was a 4.27 weighted (school had a lot of APs back then), and a 1507 SAT. According to this, I’m below average for both SAT and GPA. What are your thoughts on my chances?

Thanks!!!

I think you have an average chance to get in EDII as of now. Try to improve your SAT or take ACT and see if you can have a higher score either one, that will increase your chances. Or apply ED I.
