Re: Chances @ Chicago - huge score jump
The score jump won't matter. Your chances at Chicago are great with a 3.9x/172. Still apply to the entire T13 so you can compare for your best option.

Congratulations!!!
This won't be a problem at all; and I second the above: apply broadly. Your numbers are quite competitive. At Chicago, a $120k scholarship would not be surprising, and a Ruby isn't impossible.

ETA: do not ED. That would be a very bad decision with your numbers.
