University of Chicago?

Question

I know its a prestigious school, and rather hard to get into. Does anyone know exactly how hard and what it takes?

I've done my research and it looks great. I'm from Oklahoma, and I want to get my bachelor's degree here at OU, (before or after this possibly join the army or just do the ROTC thing), then attend medical school at University of Chicago, complete my residency and hopefully get a job in Chicago!
If it helps, here is a little bit of information:
I'm a junior at a rather small (2A) high school. My sophomore year I made a 26 on my ACT and I haven't got back my results for the PSAT. I have all A's, except for 2 B's from my freshman year in English and Computer Tech, and it's going to stay that way! I am a concurrent student at the OKC community college. I plan on having at least 8 college credits (if not more with AP classes) under my belt by high school graduation (All of these credits will be transferrable). My extracurricular is band (3 instruments, hopefully drum major).

Thank you SO much for any information!

Answer 1

By the time you apply to U of Chicago, you're high school stuff will not matter anymore. What will matter is your MCAT, what classes that you took in college and your college GPA. GPA and MCAT are the two biggest factors for getting into Med School.

No one can give you an estimate of how hard it is going to be to get into until right before you apply. The best schools raise their standards almost every year.

U of Chicago is on the south side of the city. I suggest you visit before you get your heart set on it. Not the greatest part of town, but if you're interested in Chicago, you should look into Northwestern.
