[ *] Other Factors/questions:</p>
<p>if you can describe your essays as “really” good, then yes… you dont even have to worry much about your gpa, you’re a fairly strong candidate as is</p>
<p>You are aware that Chicago does not have an undergraduate business program, correct? Why are you interested in Chicago?</p>
<p>wow. honestly, i still don’t know what i want to do. i kind of just put business in there. but i’ve heard very good things about chicago, so i was just interested to see if i had a shot at getting in.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in going into business, are you also interested in doing the Core Curriculum?</p>
<p>Modest mark- Seriously, don’t go for chicago because of the prestige … because you’re going to end up hating it later on when you get the reality check of the core curriculum. </p>
<p>Oh and chicago says they look at essays and recs strongly along w/ a demanding course load. So if you think all those are good… then good chance.</p>
