[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, my junior is very interested in UChicago but is all over the map in academic interests. He takes a tough course load and added on two more outside classes really against my wishes. He seems to be thrilled to take a core curriculum. He’s strong in all academic areas except any hands-on area of engineering. UChicago is strong in several of his interest areas.

So he’s a bit unfocussed but really likes a bunch of different subjects. Would UChicago be a good school for him?[/quote]

How are his grades?

Very solid but not perfect. Highest rigor. 3.95 UW. Very tough private where he’s maybe top 20%. EC are mainly academic. So I agree UChicago is a reach for him. [/quote]

How does a 3.95 UW at a very tough private only put him in the top 20%? That doesn't sound right to me at all. So the top 10% all has 4.0??? If so, that's not a "tough" private[/quote]

School gives both a numerical and a 4.0 grade to students and on transcripts. [/quote]
