<p>Focus on the essays. Don't have them be "not too shabby," make them "stellar."</p>

<p>You're a strong student, but make sure you're right for Chicago first. Do some research on the school's website and look through some of the past forums.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks for the advice</p>

<p>You are a very strong student, and need to think about your fit with the school rather than just getting in. For some reason, I thought of Rice when I read your bio. Vanderbilt might fit well too. More chance for tennis, anyway!</p>
