<p>Well, I admittedly do not know much about the University of Chicago. I go to Penn State. I know it is not the top of you list, but make sure you apply to Penn State University Park (it’s the main campus). You posted this in the general discussion area. I think you would have a better shot at getting people that know if you posted this type of thing in the forums dedicated to discussing each individual school. Best of luck.</p>
