A Suggestion to Chicago's Admissions Reps

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Chicago ✅

<p>In reaction to the disheartening news of the University of Chicago's delaying the notification date for Early Action results, I have a suggestion for the admissions reps:</p>

<p>Notify the first 100 responders to an admissions e-mail of the admissions committee's decision before next week. </p>

<p>I'll even write the email for you:</p>

<p>"Act fast - the first one thousand applicants who respond to this e-mail will be sent an early notification of their application results!!!"</p>

<p>See, Libby and/or Ted, the work is already done for you and such an act would serve to enhance the university's reputation for creativity. I promise you'd regret not doing this. </p>

<p>I have probably just sentenced thousands of my peers to hours of refreshing their e-mail accounts, but I'm sure you all agree this is the right thing to do.</p>

<pre><code> *One stipulation: I get dibs on the first response, since it was my idea.
</code></pre>

<p>hahahaha!</p>

<p>maybe this is all just a joke... they're gonna come on in an hour and say "actually, decisions will be ready on the 12th! aren't we good?!"a</p>

<p>how uncommonly obnoxious!</p>

<p>haha. i like your idea though.</p>

<p>good idea
I will not be caught unawares.</p>

<p>hahahahahaahaha. </p>

<p>but... what if an email responder doesn't have a descision yet?</p>

5

<p>ok its 1 am where i live, and im going to bed. so they'd better not do this!</p>

<p>ahhh... 6 more nights of wondering.</p>

<p>Or seven. Or eight. Or five. Who knows what "early" means... :(</p>

<p>i think we should quantify 'early'. in fact i think we should quantiy all vague statements like 'i'll meet you in a bit'.</p>

<p>hence forth a bit is five minutes
a moment is 2 hours
a while is three days
and early is four days earlier</p>

<p>Therefore, decisions should come out four days before next week. :-)</p>

<p>We had to wait for snail mail. Some people didn't get their packages until almost Christmas; y'all are lucky. :eek:</p>
