<p>How can they have the office closed before the decisions come out? (Assuming it is the 15th).</p>
<p>Someone told me that it definitely was going to be before the 15th…this was an applicant just like us who has no hand in admissions, but she seems fairly sure of herself…and I’d like to believe her :P</p>
<p>Is the office open on the weekend? If not, it’ll be now, Monday or Tuesday…</p>
<p>I don’t think they’ve ever posted on the weekend.</p>
<p>How did that person know? If she’s right, it should be today?</p>
<p>now it has passed 3pm. I think I shall wait till 5pm if there’s still no release then it must be Monday or later. I hope , Never Before Christams!!</p>
<p>That’s good! It narrows it down a bit.</p>
<p>Is it 4-5 central time? Because that means I’d have to wait an extra hour even if it is today…</p>
<p>Yeah same! Curse you EST! <em>Shakes fist</em> </p>
<p>And I think it is central time, but where did you get 4-5 from?</p>
<p>surely 4-5 pm is a guess I think. nobody can be sure.</p>
<p>Apparently they always post between 4 and 5 pm (for the last few years at least).</p>
<p>How sure are we that it’ll be today?</p>
<p>Ooh I see. That’s what we call an educated guess then! 
But it makes sense. That’s usually right before the office closes, I’m assuming, and most family members will get home around then for the celebration…or…for cheering up the kid as the case may be.</p>
<p>I’m fairly certain that they’ve gone up at exactly 4:00 every year. If you look at the first posts saying that there were decisions, then they’re usually a tad after 4:00 (I just checked this today lol). So, looks like Monday it is…unless they’ve changed things.</p>
<p>Has anyone realized how absurd it is to be having a countdown to a completely unspecified time? xD
I don’t think I’ve even posted here yet, but I’ve been quietly obsessing, and lurking and watching eagerly of some sort of news of WHEN. Chicago, why must you be so impractical!</p>
<p>Dang it. Ok, there’s no point in freaking out now… Wow this will officially be the worst weekend ever.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was just thinking the exact same thing :P</p>
<p>^I like your username! I feel your anxiety! argh</p>
<p>Gosh darn it! <em>facepalms</em> Looks like a long weekend it is…</p>
<p>Hehe you have a point there I feel so hollow wearing my UChicago sweatshirt and my cubs hat D:</p>
<p>oh I like book_worm too! haha but was pointing to verylikeawhale initially good luck all</p>
<p>Is there a reason they don’t announce when? Because nearly every other EA/ED school does…</p>
