I need some novel ideas that will help me stand out on an application to the University of Chicago, preferably within a year of today. Can anyone help me? My Highschool grades blew, and my first shot of college doesn't look too good either, but, I'm back in college, getting some of the basics out of the way. I'm looking to get a Bachelors in either Astrophysics or Cosmology, and can readily grasp the concepts of some advance sciences, but not the Mathematics, not yet.
