<p>Are you supposed to receive an email from chicago informing you that your application has been received?</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm quite nervous. I absolutely LOVE Chicago and as a result didn't even apply for financial aid since they're not needblind for internationals. We can afford it without financial aid, of course, but if I get accepted somewhere else (an ivy etc.) with considerable aid, I might not be able to go to Chicago, accepted or not.</p>
<p>yes, you'll get some type of notification</p>
<p>I did email Chicago saying I sent in my app Baker Island time and not my time - so yeah it must be fine I guess.</p>
<p>Btw now (past the deadline everywhere in the world) the online app won't work will it?</p>
<p>You are allowed to view your application, but you can't edit it.</p>
<p>Ugh, this waiting will kill me. Just had an interview today and it was great. Chicago is definitely my first choice, and I think it's my perfect match, but who knows these days. I applied also to Barnard, McGill, NU, and UMich.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Everyone who posts here should get in...I wish.</p>
<p>haha, although i checked the whole site of chicago, i accidentally missed the fact that the admissions deadline is the 2nd of jan, thought it was the 1st! oooh, we people know how to make our life hell, don't we?...</p>
<p>and yeah, because i was in such a hurry i wrote "maths invalid" because that's how it's in Bulgarian. Yesterday, when I decided to reread my essay (why??), I realized that this word is not used anymore in English....</p>
<p>i'll also say GOOD LUCK, SLEEP WELL- if we are admitted to Chicago, I'm sure we'll need those accumulated hours of sleep!</p>
<p>nirmala - where r u from? (dat name dont sound bulgarian sista ...)</p>
<p>i also applied, but my interview went horrible.... and chicago also happens to be a reach school for me...</p>
<p>I dont think I will get in... but will apply as transfer next year</p>
<p>I'm from Stara Zagora. And Nirmala surely is not my real name, sis! where are you from?</p>
<p>and 420, I can't understand you, does anyone consider UChicago for a safetie???</p>
<p>Maybe those insane people with perfect scores, perfect essays, and, well, no life (?) who discover some method for dating alligator teeth. Me, I only WISH I had that much time. Crossing my fingers that I'll get in, but wishing only gets you so far, I guess. </p>
<p>Now, we wait...</p>
<p>hey nirmala, sorry about that, haha (maybe ur a bro instead ...) i have a friend from bulgaria here in the US</p>
<p>I think it is possible for some people to consider it a match, but a safety? I shudder at the thought.</p>
<p>This kid from our school last year said it was his safety AFTER he got in, so he was obviously boasting.</p>
<p>Frankly, I don't think UChicago can be anyone's safety - it's freakin 9th in the nation!</p>
<p>chicago loses bunch of ppl from ivies but i don't think chicago can be one's safety</p>
<p>lala, no need to say sorry. </p>
<p>does that BG friend of yours applies to Chicago? </p>
<p>(btw i am a sis.)</p>
<p>no, he's not applying to chicago</p>
<p>Chicago a SAFETY? ARGH! What's wrong with you people?!</p>
<p>I think my U Chicago essay was the best of all my essays. I started the app before my common app essays, way back when I could actually write a normal essay. After writing several hundred of these, all I'm doing is writing a bunch of regurgitated phrases I've used in past essays... And I managed to submit mine on the 26th of December! Whereas all my other apps were submitted really close to the deadlines (like minutes...) </p>
<p>But yeah, Chicago is first choice!</p>
<p>i <3333 chicago. i only wished that i applied early. </p>
<p>as for chicago being a match or reach.. i think it's a reach for anyone because the pool is self-selective.</p>
