<p>I agree with the above poster–my hs record was not nearly as great as yours–though my college record was very good…I was accepted as an EA transfer. Anyway, you should learn more about Chicago and reflect on why you want to attend (other than prestige, etc). In my experience this is something hs students typically don’t do–but it will make you stand out as that much more mature–and you will learn more about yourself, regardless of what school you end up attending.</p>
