Chances for a low GPA student

<p>Thanks for the quick reply!</p>

<p>About the essays- I see that UChicago does not post a word limit. Does this mean UChicago wants a essay slightly longer than the standard 500-word one?</p>

<p>BTW, UChicago is the only school I’m applying other than U of Minnesota, which I already got accepted. Is this a good choice? Or should I apply to other schools similar to UChicago? The reason why I previously never cared about any other schools is because I can transfer tons of credits to U of Minnesota.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
