I do not do chance me because I don’t believe anyone on CC can realistically determine your chance. But I strongly recommend the following:
- Spend more effort at your essays. There are another two months before ED1 deadline. You have plenty of time to refine your essay so that it is exceptional but also tells the AO that you fit into the UChicago type.
- If you are going to schools like Hotchkiss or Choate, go talk to your college counselors. Those schools send a fair amount of their seniors to UChicago and their college counselors will have some insider tips for you.
