Hi, I know these are getting kinda stale but I’m pretty nervous. UChicago is my number one school and I just want an honest answer. I’m an Indian male, 16, in Chicago, IL.

ACT - 32 Composite, 35 English, 30 Math, 32 Reading, 30 Science
GPA - 3.5 UW, 4.7 W (now it’s this, at the end of junior year it was 3.3 UW, 4.4 W)
I went to a highly competitive public high school for three years. It’s the number one ranked public high school in my state. I was forced to transfer my senior year because we moved. I only moved about 20 minutes from my old place but I now live in another school district so I go to some random high school.
Have only taken Honors and APs.
APs - US History, European History, Chemistry, English Literature, all 4s
Current schedule - AP Language, AP Psychology, AP Environmental Science, AP Calc AB, PE, and elective

ECs
Tennis team Junior Varsity, JV Captain – 9th to 12th (Captain)
Ping Pong club – 10th and 11th (organized lunch, before school, and after school open games)
Volunteer at ICNA (Islamic Center of North America) – 10th (teacher’s assistant)
Volunteer at Public Library(Northtown Branch) – 10th (summer reading program)
Volunteer at Midwest Asian American Center – 5th to 8th (helped with adult education and citizenship process)
Amnesty International Club member – 12th
Amnesty International Club Public Relations Director – 12th (helped organize bake sale and build-a-box event)
Muslim club member – 9th to 11th
Muslim club Public Relations Director – 10th
AP Scholar

I think that covers it all. I already applied to UChicago RD. I did an interview and I think that went well. So, I would appreciate any comments and please try to be honest. Thanks in advance.
