<p>Way to make a splash with a first post. Congratulations! I had begun to doubt if they sent them yet. Nothing in mail today.</p>
<p>im sorry if i sound doubtful of your acceptance, but i - and a few other fellow chicagoans on this board - have received nothing.</p>
<p>ok....we are rolling. </p>
<p>Patches, are you in Chicago (city)?</p>
<p>No, I'm not from the city itself, but I'm from a suburb about 55 miles outside of it (60564 zip). Skepticism is understood, but I found out today, as did everyone else from my school who applied.</p>
<p>That is too weird. :) Congratulations, patches.</p>

National Merit Semifinalist

<p>I guess they are more grade-centered than I thought.</p>
<p>Any ideas when internationals could expect a decision? I'm from Canada if that matters.</p>
<p>And godilali, 3.0 is pretty low, even by Chicago's non-grade-centric admissions...maybe your essays weren't as good as you thought? Anyways, a good semester now and you'll be in, don't worry.</p>
<p>well congrats guys that got in... and a hearty "you can do it" to our deferee! dont give up hope. as for the rest of us, judgement day is here!</p>
<p>woah! everyone has 1500+... is that normal?</p>
<p>ya, silver....its not looking that good for me.</p>
<p>hopefully, my 2 research abstracts can do the magic.</p>
