Have I got a prayer?

As you know, your GPA is very iffy. One of my friends with a 3.6 uw, 3.9 w, 30 ACT was rejected. (Compared to you, he had a lot less e.c. involvement, though.) I would say if you had really good essays, amazing test scores, great recs, etc…it’d be a reach.

Can you do anything to raise your GPA in the last bit of junior year and the first semester of senior year? And as for the “simple conversation shows I know my stuff”…the problem is that Chicago doesn’t give too much weight to interviews, especially since most people don’t even have one…

eh. sorry about the nay-saying…but good luck!
