<p>“what are my chances if nobody else applies to U. of C. or has attended this school? do they look at that sort of thing, or just at each individual?”</p>
<p>I don’t believe that it will hurt you - no one from my son’s hs had ever applied to UChicago - or had done so in recent memory. </p>
<p>As far as your SAT’s go - take a look at class statistics on the Chicago website and look for yourself. I really hesitate to give a number as it is only one component of your application.</p>
