@ITMAN15 I would actually strongly reccomend studying for the SAT or ACT. While showing you’re a good fit is important, test scores actually matter a lot more than some people think with U Chicago. One of the recent incoming classes had the second highest average ACT of any school in the country (CalTech was #1). In order to compensate for the gpa get a good ACT/SAT. And yes pursuing your passions and genuine interests is important but the test score hurdle is one that people going for selective schools have to jump over.
