tpavone,
In follow-up to the comment by Sisyphus86, unsuccessful applicants to Chicago PhD programs are generally referred to one of their MA programs, so a separate application is not necessary. With your exceptional academic record, I’d say you have a decent shot at getting into Chicago’s PhD program, particularly if your references are good (given how competitive PhD admissions are these days, there are no guarantees, obviously). With your record, though, I’d be very surprised if you weren’t offered at least an MA placement at Chicago, most likely with a 2/3 or full tuition scholarship.
Good luck.
