I am most familiar with UMich and I can assure you that a 3.42 gpa, regardless of how good of a secondary school you attended, will make it difficult for you to get in. Also looking at what you accomplished in high school, you do reach quite a bit because your gpa is sub par at a lot of the good schools you applied to and your test scores are also sub par. For UChicago especially your scores don’t work. Also you don’t really have any strong ECs that stand out and there is little leadership shown on your resume. I’m sorry but I honestly think that you do not have many redeeming points to get you into many of the top schools of your choice. But regardless you do have a fairly strong resume and that should get you into one of the slightly lower schools you applied to. Good luck!!!
