Are you applying from Australia with no status in US? If so you have a pretty good shot.

I'd say you have a decent shot because hardly anyone applies from Australia and your stats are amazing.

Stats get your foot in the door but don't get you in. Your essays are the make-it or break-it factor.

As the poster above me said, writing is very important to the Chicago admissions department. I was admitted with a GPA of 3.7 while my best friend, a very talented writer, was admitted with a GPA of 2.7. Make sure your extended essay for the supplement is entertaining and make sure to answer the "optional" prompt as well.

I got deferred with a 22 ACT. I think you're good.
