<p>This is the only school that I /need/ to know about. I <3 U of C. It would be nice to know what other colleges the honorable members of CC.com think I would thrive at as well. I want to go to a school that is academically outstanding, well-rounded, and challenging. And if there is any hope for an Ivy acceptance (or no hope), it would be nice to know. </p>
<p>Most of my grades are consistent across semesters. If they are not, I will note them. </p>

I also rocked out for 8 years with art lessons at the Cleveland Museum of Art, but that was when I was a wee one, so it won’t count. =(</p>
<p>For job experience, I have three years of intensive, summer-long, 8 hours/day 4 days/week babysitting that paid for a trip to Europe the summer before my junior year. I plan on working at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History as a lab assistant this summer. </p>
<p>My only persistently low grades are in the mathematics. I am working hard to change this, because I discovered that I enjoy mathematics and science. The explanation for my senior year (heavy in math and science) is that I feel that these are subjects I would struggle to learn on my own. I can still read Weber, Hofstader, Durant and other authors in the humanities/social sciences on my own and grasp what they are saying with far more ease than I would trying to read a chemistry textbook or Morris Klein. </p>
<p>Yey-yah. My essays and recommendations should be good. My GPA has hastened upward since freshman year (when I hated high school, and didn’t care). </p>
