I only have a 3.5 GPA and 1330 on the new SAT. I almost didn't even apply to University of Chicago even though i really wanted to go because my guidance counselor told me it was an extremely high reach/dream school and that I shouldn't apply. The only reason I ended up applying was because my parents thought I should try, anyway. I checked the decision when it came out, expecting that I was going to be rejected, but I got in. My parents were really happy and they both bought U of C sweatshirts and they've been telling all their friends and stuff. My mom was so happy she cried. But even though like a week has passed since I found out, and I want to go, I feel like the university made a huge mistake. It has a 7% acceptance rate. The valedictorian of my class applied and got rejected, and I'm nowhere close to being valedictorian. I feel like I shouldn't have gotten in. I feel like I should be happy, but I just feel like a person like me shouldn't have been admitted.
