[quote=Anonymous]People always say it's way harder to get in now than it was years ago. I'm interested in the anecdotal data from this forum, to see if this holds true. I was in college from 2005-2009. Graduated with honors (so top 20%; there were no rankings outside of that) from a top private HS. GPA was the equivalent of an A (but the scale included A+, so it wasn't equal to a 4.0). SAT score was 1400 on the old scale (low for my GPA, but I always underperformed on standardized tests). 800 on the SAT II writing and 700 on the SAT II Math subject test (whichever one is the easier one). I only took one AP course (Latin -- I got a 4 on the exam). I applied early to Georgetown School of Foreign Service and UChicago, and got into both. Since I liked those schools, I didn't apply anywhere else. My understanding is that 1400 is now around the 25th percentile for admits to UChicago, so I wonder if I would get in now. [/quote]
