What are my chances in UChicago?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi.</p>

<p>I have applied to UChicago for EA admissions...as I wait for decisions, my cognitive functions are slowly deteriorating and I am starting to feel very, very anxious. </p>

<p>This is what I have:
SAT: 2160 (M-660, W-760, CR-740)
SATIIs: Bio E-790, US History-780
ACT: 31 (M-33, CR-32, W-31, S-30, Essay-10)
GPA: 93 (unweighted)
APs: 6 going into senior year - 5s on all
Essays: I think they were quite excellent. I did "What does Play-Doh have to do with Plato?" The rest were pretty straight forward. My Common App essay is about how people don't know how to walk ... and how it affects my personal life. It was very well written ...
Recommendations: My favorite teachers and guidance counselor wrote me great recs. I know my gc's rec started with the word .. "Brilliant."</p>

<p>I applied as a QuestBridge finalist but did not get matched to any of my schools. I will definitely need financial aid. I go to a very competitive high school where the average GPA is around 87-88. </p>

<p>.. My senior course load includes about 6 AP classes. I also do art - I sent in a portfolio.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>I forgot to mention a couple of things …</p>

<p>I grew up in Turkey for 11 years. My parents moved to the US when I was 11.
Last year I was the VP of my Mock Trial Team, and this year I am the President. We have been doing well in our county. Never been to states.
This past summer, I did an internship at Istanbul Modern Art Museum, doing research and writing for the Istanbul Biennale that opened in September 2011. The year before I volunteered as a translator for an American student doing research on female artists in Turkey. I have also volunteered at the arts center of my community during their vacation arts program. </p>

<p>During the summer of junior year, I went to MICA Pre-College program. I got $12,000 scholarship for my artwork. During the summer of my senior year, I went to the Barnard 4-week Liberal Arts program. I have great recs from my professors there. </p>

<p>I guess that’s about it … O.o</p>
