i’m a junior interested in chicago

i have a 4.19 weighted and a 3.89 unweighted GPA
i take spanish, french, and latin
i have three APs this year and will take three next year
i really really want to study languages AND get a solid foundation for international relations (w/o going to a super competitive program like g-town)
i work with multiple clubs (political activism, and langauge clubs)
i’m in NHS
i will be mostly likely be in Spanish Honor Society, as well as FHS, and LHS (which i’m already in)
i’m 1/2 jewish, 1/4 filipino
plus i’m really a huge dork (case in point: i’m reading a 500+ page bio on jane austen, just so i can understand her work better)

how do you think i sound for chicago? plus is there anything i can do within the next couple of months to improve my chances?

thanks
