<p>Chicago doesn’t even require SAT II’s</p>

<p>The question isn’t whether or not you should apply, but why do you want to apply to Chicago?</p>

<p>Chicago is not for the faint of heart. If you’re getting a 1 on an AP exam, you should seriously be reconsidering, because the studying here is INTENSE.</p>

<p>hey, you’re from Nevada? what part? I haven’t met anyone from Nevada here yet. I’m a first year from Vegas. In my opinionm you should go for it. You should totally apply, I mean like what’s better than challenging yourself to become better at something right?</p>

<p>Good luck,</p>
