Reach

A student with an unweighted GPA of 3.3–3.5 and an SAT of 1100–1190 applying to University of Chicago is in the Reach range. University of Chicago admits 5% of applicants, and the middle half of enrolled students submitted SAT scores of 1510 to 1570. At this band the estimate is about 1 in 100.

46% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, 30% an ACT — these ranges describe students who submitted, not the whole class.

For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, an unweighted GPA of 3.4 and an SAT of 1150, so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
