<p>I. Hate. Waiting.</p>

<p>My life is being decided over the next two weeks, and I hate it.</p>

<p>I hate waiting to find out if I am transfering to UChi or not.</p>

<p>I hate knowing that I can get deferred and then waitlisted.</p>

<p>I hate wondering if my non custodial parent waiver was "good enough" for those jackasses that want to dredge up uncomfortable divorce details.</p>

<p>I hate the constant trepidation when I open my e-mail, seeing if a decision will be there.</p>

<p>I can't freaking deal with it!#$<em>#@!)</em>$#@% I am bad at this game.</p>

<p>Thanks for listening. <3</p>

<p>I think its safe to say, however unpleasant you might find the thought, that I have been in your shoes, neverborn</p>

<p>Rofl.</p>

<p>I just hate this place I'm at so much (my current school) that it just makes me want to scream. I went to Edwardo's to get some pizza for the Sox game, and it's right on UChicago's campus - and coming back to this hell hole afterwards just makes me want to ****ing die.</p>

<p>Congrats on your acceptance, Esquared. Are you going next Fall?</p>

4

<p>haha....yeah, I still need to hear about FA, but it's my top choice.</p>

<p>Did you apply anywhere else?</p>

5

<p>neverborn, if you don't mind me asking, where do you go to school right now?</p>

6

<p>I go to the Illinois Institute of Technology - the most melancholy place in the city. I applied to UChi, Northwestern, and Loyola Chicago(safety).</p>

7

<p>what year are you? current fresh, soph, plorp?</p>

8

<p>currently a sophomore.</p>

9

<p>I see, I see.......well you seem to be set on Chicago; hope all works out in one way or another.</p>

10

<p>I am, but who knows if my mediocre scores can be overcome.</p>

11

<p>I'd be more worried about your mediocre personality.</p>

<p>hahaha, just kidding. Your a blast and a half.</p>

<p>I didn't really have great test scores and Chi looked through, they may do the same for you.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I don't think my test scores were fantastic either. </p>

<p>Ah... IIT... isn't the campus pretty much nonexistant? I live nearby and tend to forget there's actually a college around there.</p>

13

<p>You applied ea? Only about 2 weeks left for you i guess...good luck! I hope you get in, as long as you don't take my spot :P</p>

14

<p>Yes, I am sick of waiting for my EA decision. I keep checking my credentials thinking I will find some clue. </p>

<p>What's really killing me is that they waived my application fee without me ever requesting a waiver! (I actually sent the check in, but they refused to cash it. My credentials say "Application fee paid/Application fee waved. Check ####").</p>

<p>This seems like it could be a good sign, but I'm scared to ask because I think they will find out it was an error and then I'll just be dissapointed and lose the 60 bucks. :)</p>

<p>Well at least if I'm rejected, I won't have to pay for it. lol</p>

15

<p>lol how did that happened??? I wish that didnt have to pay so much for apps. I mean, SAT+College transcript+App fee...all adds up to just below 100. More like 85 though.</p>

16

<p>twilight4: This neighborhood is one of the reasons I am leaving. Where do you live? I assume Bridgeport...?</p>

17

<p>Yeah, I live around Bridgeport. Within walking distance to Comiskey. Not a bad neighborhood.</p>

18

<p>Bridgeport isn't "bad" only because the surrounding areas make it look better. It's still crime filled and dangerous (I know many who live off campus in Bridgeport, one kid got broken into 3 times in a semester) - but it beats Bronzeville. When your alternatives are Bronzeville south and east, the 12 blocks of projects north - Bridgeport west is your only option - it may have the mob, but it's safe to be white and walk on the street.</p>

19

<p>So true. It also includes Chinatown, and crime rates there have been going up (so I've heard). I think almost everyone that went to my elementary school was either white (mostly Italian) or Chinese (like me). Are you from Chicago?</p>

<p>I got deferred and then waitlisted.
Rather upset :-/</p>
