<p>I go to a high school that’s ranked 17 in Illinois. It’s not anything to brag about (though Hillary Clinton is an alum …lol) and our school doesn’t send too many kids to the elites. In fact, a huge majority of the kids at my school end up at U of I-Urbana Champaign. </p>
<p>Anyways, I was looking at the naviance scattergram for my school as well, and all the kids I know that got into UChicago graduated at the top 1% of their class (roughly around 700 kids/class).</p>
<p>But, I mean, like what the others have already said, it takes more than just solid test scores & a strong GPA to get in. And just because some people get in w/ substandard scores/gpa doesn’t mean it’s any easier to get into.</p>
