Acceptees: In here! Official celebration thread!

<p>I know, now I have actual motivation and inspiration to do well on my finals and study for them and all that jazz. Whenever I get seriously off-task (this doesn't countXD) I just remind myself I was accepted and all I have to do is finish high school and off I go!</p>

<p>1) What's your state/country of residence? Kansas City, KS
2) What do you think you might major in? Little idea. Something language or humanities-related probably. I almost didn't consider the school because it doesn't have the major I really want, but when I visited, I fell in love with the people and the atmosphere.
3) What one particular part, if any, of your application do you think sealed the deal for you? I'm not sure, and if I had to say what was strongest, I couldn't point to one particular thing. Maybe extracurrics. Maybe writing - (I wrote my essays the day the application was due. I wasn't happy with them, but I'm a pretty strong writer, and my "Why You/Chicago" essay was rockin'). Maybe recommendations?
4) Now that you're in, what's the likelihood that you'll actually enroll at Chicago? It depends on some other applications I've got in and financial aid stuff. If I get decent aid at my two top choice schools, it's going to take some serious consideration.
5) Do you have Facebook/Myspace/etc., and would you be interested in contacting other '13ers via these sites to start getting to know them now? I have a facebook, and while I'm friendly, I'm not much into friending random strangers, even if they are quirky cool people who have been accepted at an awesome school. I am in the applicants group, and will be in the prospective students group once I'm on a computer where Facebook isn't blocked.
6) Music taste - I've been exposed to and appreciate a very wide range of music. Usually I choose to listen to alternative/acoustic rock. I've got a lot of respect for singer/songwriter types. I'm also a sucker for musical theater.</p>

<p>1) What's your state/country of residence? Illinois
2) What do you think you might major in? TAPS and Law Letters and Society double
3) What one particular part, if any, of your application do you think sealed the deal for you? Essays that I spent hours on and taking Summer courses at Yale and getting As in them
4) Now that you're in, what's the likelihood that you'll actually enroll at Chicago? Nothing is stopping me from accepting now except my financial aid decision
5) Do you have Facebook/Myspace/etc., and would you be interested in contacting other '13ers via these sites to start getting to know them now? absolutely Facebook!
6) Music Taste- Broadway, Indie, Big Band, 30's through 50's music</p>

<p>EmLo, you like big band?? I love that era of music--so good! :>)</p>
