[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Chicago weights test scores more than most, it is not out of reach: http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/university-of-chicago-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm[/quote] This is WAY outdated. It says U of C has an acceptance rate of 20% -- no way. It's acceptance rate in recent years has dropped to single digits. They are wait listing kids with very high ACTs, SATs, SATIIs and GPAs if they don't like your essay answers, you don't tell a good story of fit, etc. [/quote] The last reported acceptance rate was 13.2%. The 75% for ACT is 34. A 35 ACT would be no problem, but the 3.5 GPA would have to be explained and, as you noted, there would have to be some other + factors. Nothing in that chart says hopeless to me, but it is definitely a stretch.[/quote]
