Thanks!</p>

<p>Send the 34 ACT. Is that GPA unweighted or weighted? How difficult is your course load relative to your high school? As in, most difficult, or average? Do you have any hooks (i.e. low income / first-generation / URM)? </p>

<li>low to mid reach</li>

<li>don’t know enough about</li>
<li>mid reach</li>
<li>low/mid reach</li>
<li>don’t know enough about</li>
<li>safety </li>
</ol>

<p>You need to answer those questions though.</p>

<p>The GPA is weighted. Unweighted would be around 3.8?</p>

<p>I feel like my course load is pretty difficult, because I’ve been taking all honors/AP besides the classes that don’t offer honors (band and French). </p>

<p>Hooks(?): I’m Asian, but I don’t know if that really acts as a minority/ affirmative action thing.</p>

<p>Not low in-come either, but I get approx. half off of my tuition for UChicago due to my dad’s work and its affiliation with the university.</p>

<p>Asians are significantly over-represented and thus do not benefit from Affirmative Action.</p>
