<p>One of the [recent</a> Admissions blog entries](<a href=“https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2009/05/hidden_talents_a_guest_post_by.html"]recent”>https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2009/05/hidden_talents_a_guest_post_by.html) indirectly addressed this particular complaint. Check out the last paragraph especially.</p>
<p>As for chances, FuturDoc (or whatever you want to be called), I’m in no position to predict. I agree with signitblank and jsp.squishy in the opinion that your resume is impressive. You’ve definitely proved devotion to a strong, focused pursuit (theatre). The most important other factors, as far as I can glean from admissions, are a challenging and successful academic career (suggested by your healthy number of APs and related grades), and powerful essays. The very last, no one can really predict. But good luck with application to Chicago, and with all the other colleges you discover and approach.</p>
