uchicago is my top pick, i'm super curious on what yall have to say! :)

demographics: upper-middle class, asian/white, public school

hook: widowed parent from addiction, all my ecs are related to mental health and substance misuse🩵💜 (strong essays?)

gpa: 3.8UW 4.2W

ap/honors: apush, lang, precalc (+6 next yr??)

psat10: 1300 haven't taken sat, not in a rush to do so i'm a junior

i applied for uchicago summer immersion, on the waitlist but hoping to get in for a shot at ED0 (i applied for aid, what a big mistake)

i also won't be applying for aid, does that help with admissions in any way?

thank u for any insight!!❤️ good luck to all the seniors on college acceptances 🤞
