A lot of those questions will probably be answered first week during info sessions, but my understanding:
Since you asked for worthwhile info: at info sessions ask current RSO members what they want to do after graduation. The more members who can definitively answer you, the more likely it is that the club has helped them define their goals and to some extent put them on the right track to achieving it. Just my two cents I suppose.
>a tall narrow hamper style one that was easier to carry up stairs and halls I liked better
like this? Or not collapsible at all?
I was admitted to the program a few years ago. My major was in Econ/Finance never took a CS course in college.
I had a 166 Quant score on the GRE, and I believe a 158 Verbal. I think they really only care about the Quant score. I think you need to get your Quant score up.
​
I suggest you buy the official GRE prep book from the makers of the exam (ETS).

magoosh.com also had a lot of helpful material.

I also took some intro level CS courses through Coursera. And I wrote about this in my SOP. I think taking an intro course on Coursera/Edx could help.

Frankly I did really badly and I got a B so you shouldn't worry that much, the curve can be pretty good.
For me the main issue was there was lots of computational math I hadn't seen. It says in the course description they'll teach you these things during the course, but at least when I took it they barely taught anything.
So be prepared to look up some math on your own if you don't have experience in computational multivariable calculus, linear algebra, or ODEs. I haven't personally used it, but I'm told Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering is a good reference for all the math that could possibly show up during a physics based degree.
I don't hear UChicago's economics department referred to as "supply side", and I don't think that's an accurate description of it. They do call themselves "neoclassical", but you may also hear The Chicago School or "freshwater" as well. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_school_of_economics
