Admission to UChicago?

<p>overachiever1992- Thanks, that was helpful. I really wasn’t expecting a full ride, I’m not that one-in-a-hundred applicant, but $10K per year merit would be nice. My school is public, but my class is very competitve, the most competitve one in years, even though there are only 135 students. Does being a Hispanic really matter alot? Because I’ve gotten mixed views about this. Also, my mom lived in Chicago, and we have family three hours away, so yes, we’re familiar with the area. Also, since you mentioned “lower on the food chain” colleges to apply to… any recommendations? Thanks again!</p>
