<p>I’ve actually read somewhere that UChicago actually rejects most of its applicants outright. This is mostly because they get a lot of applicants that don’t really give a damn about the university and use it as a safety, sending off essays with very little thought etc… (i.e. not the kind of people they’d even consider)</p>
<p>If you’re not that kind of person, then you might stand a reasonable chance…this is hearsay again, but I believe that they don’t look at the SAT scores with any expectations; they just want to see if it raises any red flags about the applicant. I’m not sure what a 560 says about you in the context of your entire application, but you should definitely consider retaking it and applying RD.</p>
