<p>looks good. If Chicago is an important school for you, make sure that comes through on your application-- specifically, why you want to attend and why you fit in with what’s going on here. Really take the time to work on your essays and make sure they reflect who you are.</p>

<p>I really can’t give you your chances any better than you can chance yourself, but you are in the range of accepted students.</p>

<p>Don’t put EPGY down for any of the colleges that you apply to, it doesn’t show anything but that you are willing to shell the money, and a ton of kids get invited to go every year. BLack belt and the congresswoman thin are pretty good. You have a good shot at chicago.</p>
