<p>Great Recos from princeton and school.</p>

<p>Really amazing essays.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are if im applyin early D
and What major? Engineering or Econ?</p>

2

<p>A reach, but it is possible. How do the SAT’s break out?</p>

3

<p>I just thought i’d mention, Chicago only has an early action program, which allows you to apply early to other places, although I think it still helps chances to apply EA.</p>

4

<p>Just wanted to let you know, chicago doesn’t have engineering! (Great econ, though)</p>

5

<p>Is SAT really important?</p>

6

<p>SAT isn’t everything but it does help alot to have a good score. A 2300 won’t guarentee admission but a 1000 will really hurt your chances.</p>

<p>So its important as a component of the criteria colleges look for in its applicants but by itself it doesn’t have all that much importance.</p>

7

<p>Chicago doesn’t sound like the best match for you. Are you mostly interested because of the econ department? Maybe you should consider MIT, Cornell, U of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins. Your GPA is very low for top schools, but you do have a lot of achievement in inventions and may be able to explain it away to some extent.</p>

<p>Thats one of the advantages of Chicago is that GPA can sortta be countered by their essays. I’ve heard quite a lot of stories about low GPA with insane essays gets in rather than High GPA and not-too good essays!</p>

<p>I know Johns Hopkins for Med but I haven’t heard of it for economics! Is it good for economics?</p>
