<p>Please what are my chances?</p>

<p>Why do you want to get in?</p>

<p>I really enjoy the campus life, and I like their curriculum for undergrads.
I just feel as though I fit very well with the school’s way of life and approach to upper level thinking. </p>

<p>Do I have a chance? If not, what should I improve?</p>

<p>you can get in</p>

<p>I am in mock trial as both a witness and defense and prosecution lawyer.
I am also a tricker, which is a mixture of martial arts, breakdancing, Wushu, capoeira and gymnastics. I had been tricking for 2 years until I tore my ACL, MCL, LCL and meniscus this past summer. But before that, I was considered a pretty good tricker by the tricking community and they often came to me for advice on tricks. I have landed a Cheat 1260 Round kick, making me the fifth person in the world to land it. And I also have landed a Backside 1440 Hook Kick and I am the first person in the world to land from a standing setup. Both the Cheat 1260 Round Kick and Backside 1440 Hook Kick are on YouTube.
BUMMMMPPPPPP</p>

<p>Did you wind up taking those five classes? Not a course lineup that I would have recommended. The two math classes have a lot of overlap, and you’re not taking a foreign language.</p>

8

<p>Their acceptance rate is less than 20%, so unfortunately, I would not count on admission.</p>

<p>It is a crapshoot even for the tip top students.</p>

<p>My son raised his ACT from a 31 to a 34 with zero studying, so you should be able to raise your ACT to over 30, which would help.</p>

<p>I took all of those classes and my foreign language is chinese (i have taken three years of chinese, just not AP). I also retook the act and i feel really good about it (prob 32+)</p>

<p>So what did you get for that ACT? Just curious :)</p>

11

<p>I got a 32.</p>

<p>32 is great man! I think you totally have a chance!
I am having troubles with my scores… My SAT reading is only 580!!! Though my math is 770 and writing 690 I feel like I don’t have any chance on Chicago… Ehhhh
Anyways good luck for your application!</p>
