dude, it seems like you could apply to any of the Ivies and have a really good shot... I don't know how Chicago can't accept you... only problem I see is lack of leadership in extra-currics, but otherwise, that's your only flaw... I wouldn't worry!

100.22 Weighted is like 4.0 Weighted (Right?). That's actually quite low. I mean, you've taken 8 APs, so I assume your UW GPA is low. Even if your school doesn't report it, colleges will see it through your Transcript. Your ACT score is good but like others said your Extra curriculars don't show a clear passion and leadership.

I think you have the same chances as most of us -- something around 20 to 25 percent.

Good luck to you!

with a 33:

Chicago: Match-Reach
Swarthmore: Reasonable-BIG Reach
Wash U: Match-Reach
Bates: Match

Swarthmore would be my only big worry, b/c that's a top-tier liberal arts school and they accept some of the best students in the country... otherwise, besides lack of leadership in EC's, I wouldn't worry

PLEASE Chance me back!!
