<p>The best indicator that you’re a match for Chicago is you read the essay prompts and go “LAWL OMG AHAHAHAHAH THESE ARE SO COOL.”</p>

<p>Really, that’s probably what’ll make or break you.</p>

<p>Qualified? Or Right? These are two different things. I might be “qualified” for a lot of schools, ranging from great schools to not-so-good schools, but that doesn’t mean I want to go to all of them. I agree with the previous comment: if you get excited about the prompts and find the spirit of Chicago endearing, it’s probably right for you.</p>

<p>I love UChicago, and I thought the prompts were stupid. ;)</p>

<p>Like Impero said, yes, you seem qualified. I wouldn’t know about fit based on the info you gave us.</p>
