<p>whoa! Hold off a minute! If you are a junior then you have time to improve your scores, take more rigorous classes either at HS or perhaps online or a a
cc, AND do great in them, get even better recommendations and THEN apply next year. Chicago wants students to have taken the most rigorous classes their HS offers. Have you exhausted all of the advanced classes your HS offers? Will your GC recommendation letter mention that when commenting about the classes you took? Will the school profile report submitted with his letter confirm that? Don’t be in such a hurry IF there are more advanced classes you can take as a SR. If you apply this year and are rejected you may not be even considered for admission next year at all.</p>
