Highly dependent on your classes; specific numbers are harder to gauge. Hesitantly, I would even say that Chi isn’t the right place to have a “I need THIS GPA” mindset. If you’re are motivated, work hard and study a lot, you’ll get a GPA that will reflect that, and when grad schools look at it they will DEFINITELY account for the fact that you went to U of C.

The other big factor is that at Chicago you’ll find it incredibly easy to rack up work/lab experience, in the school itself and through the school’s connections with outside companies, facilities etc. Grad schools weigh work experience heavily.
