<p>Option 5 FTW!</p>
<p>Washington in the Great Pacific Northwest, I just sent in my U of Chicago EA application couple days ago, and i picked the “how i got caught” essay but i think my SAT is too low 
i have a 2070 with a 680 grammar 680 CR and 710 math, is that too low? and i think my EC’s are strong</p>
<p>Well, 18% of last year’s admitted students had an SAT score in the range of 1300 - 1390. Lest you think 18% is low, 21% had lower scores. Looks like they must be looking at things other than test scores. (They ignore the writing section.)</p>
<p>Here is the complete breakdown:</p>
<p>1500-1600 37%
1400-1490 24%
1300-1390 18%
1200-1290 10%
1100-1190 10%
1000-1090 1%</p>
<p>(They ignore the writing section.)
@idad,that’s what makes me hate myself…jkjk…that’s wut makes me have to retake- -</p>
<p>@Tallone13 Yeah,they should be looking at other stuff as well.If the essay is good and EC is strong…you need to worry a little less.Anyway,it’s in God’s hand now>.<Lets’ just cheer up and study…omg</p>
<p>Let me ask all who applied EA. Did you have Collegeboard send official AP score to UC?</p>
<p>m0baik01 no I did not. I just put the scores on my common app. err was I supposed to get score reports—I’m not really sure?</p>
<p>ya you were supposed to get them sent from collegeboard…</p>
<p>GAH! I’m so nervous for the SATs on Saturday :(.</p>
<p>motion12345 thanks for letting us know! best of luck of saturday:) I’m sure you don’t need it!!</p>
<p>motion12345 maybe you thought I was talking about the SAT scores? that would make sense. yeah so I think that we can just self report AP scores cause if you do get accepted then you will have to get official AP scores to get credits and such.</p>
<p>The Got Caught essay I thought was pretty easy, I applied EA. I took the essay a way I don’t think most people will. So I’m not gonna tell you. 
No offense. </p>

<p>AP Scores - self-report.</p>
<p>Thank you mathmom that was very clear 
self report it is!</p>
<p>We did not send ours either but the reason I ask is that when we were in the info session, I specifically asked if they needed an official AP score and she said that they do want it sent by collegeboard.</p>
<p>^Are you sure they understood the question? Once you are accepted you need to send in an official report, but it would be very unusual for a college to require it beforehand. I know of no other school that requires official scores. Normally one self-reports and if for any reason they don’t believe you they can always check with your guidance counselor for verification.</p>
<p>That is what I think and that’s why we did not send ours. But she did say that for sure. She might have thought SAT score or she might have meant after admissions… anyway…</p>
<p>me another EA applicant, I am from Singapore! already submitted all materials. now i am waiting for results. i must say that this kind of waiting is killing. I want to study physics, theoretical particle physics in particular. i am really into U of C.a big geek of science and hardly have social life, that’s me…</p>
<p>hi everyone! i just discovered this thread :). i’m so nervous for our decisions! we find out by mail only, right? not online?</p>
<p>not online?!..Then it’ll take a while to reach me…I thought it’d be online as well…</p>
<p>I think decisions are posted online through each person’s University of Chicago account</p>
<p>^Yes, this is correct</p>
