<p>aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh I’m sooo nervous!
Some people at my school already got rejected from Ivys and top-tier schools like Cornell and Stanford…
Good luck everyoneeee :)</p>
<p>I have a friend who just got rejected from Georgetown…misery loves company, and all that, so I’m bracing myself for Wednesday!</p>
<p>On the bright side, got an acceptance letter from one of my safeties today. :)</p>
<p>guys isn’t it december 20 that uchicago releases decision?</p>
<p>check here: [College</a> Search - University of Chicago - Chicago - Deadlines](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>I’m going to have a bad Christmas if I get deferred, which is expected. :(</p>
<p>Rny2, that’s hilarious, I’ve recently been extensively using *De Rerum Natura *for a senior thesis paper on Epicureanism. Good stuff, good stuff indeed. </p>
<p>On a college admissions note…anyone have any definite idea as to the date? Any whispers or rumors?</p>
<p>I called the admissions office and asked if we would find out on the 15th. They replied, very coldly, “no,” and didn’t tel me when. I’m actually quite annoyed that they haven’t told us when we’ll be accepted. I can no longer think coherently or sleep peacefully; this is a terrible, terrible feeling. I would think they would have the compassion so as to understand what stress we’re going through.</p>
<p>Yeah the admissions office is pretty cold. I called them once regarding if they received my scores on time for EA, and they just gave me a cold reply. </p>
<p>If they release decisions out on the 20s, i swear I will hate them forever and proclaim that they’re the cruelest holidays ruiners ever…</p>
<p>Hey everybody! I applied to UChi too and believe me, I’m feeling the overwhelming mind scrambling agony of the wait too. I’ve been reassuring myself that I would find out this Wednesday and that this would soon be over–if it’s any later I’m not sure what I’m going to do! </p>
<p>But, something to possibly keep in mind: I sent an email last Thursday to update my resume and got a very nice response from an admission officer the next day stating that they would add it to my file… I’m not sure what that says about how long this wait will be if they were willing to accept information this late in the month… (and I was bracing myself for a flat out no!) </p>
<p>P.S. I’m also bracing for a negative letter too, but fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>All of my friends either know (a bunch of them got into Columbia, Dartmouth, UPenn, Stanford etc. I go to an extremely nerdy school), or know when they will know. I’m the only one left in the dark. When they ask me when I’ll know, I can only respond “I don’t know, supposedly it’s the 15th.” I hate that.
Deferred, rejected, or accepted, I just want to know so at least I’ll know if I need to start my other apps. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>Dudes, chill out. </p>
<p>And as for the Admissions Office being cold, you should really give them a break. They receive hundreds of those calls every day, surely you can understand if their patience seems worn. And as for the “stress”, every college applicant goes through it. Just relax; it’s likely that your decision has already been made, so there’s really no use stressing about it. Whatever happens, happens.</p>
<p>I just don’t understand why UChicago couldn’t tell us when we would know. Perhaps they didn’t even set an internal deadline. When applying we have our own deadlines; we hold up our end of the bargain. Can hold up theirs?</p>
<p>They set an internal deadline. They also traditionally have, for the past few years, announced decisions on the 15th. But, they also haven’t gotten so many EA applicants before, and probably don’t want to be tied down to a specific date. I’d rather hear back on the 20th and know my application got a good review than hear back on the 15th and have the feeling they may have just “glanced over” it.</p>
<p>True, as stressful as it is for us (SOOOO stressful), the admission office must be stressed too. A few days won’t kill anyone.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Chill, man. Too bad UChicago is full of Stoics xD. Hope to see ya here next year!</p>
<p>Is Chicago really full of Stoics? Ha…that’s interesting. </p>
<p>As to getting in…que sera, sera.</p>
<p>My friend committed suicide cuz the wait was too long :P</p>
<p>Chicago has a long-standing tradition of not announcing in advance. Chill. Part of the reason is the awesomeness that is Chicago – the journey is more important than the process.</p>
<p>So, as someone who got in EA last year, let me just say that all of the repetitive posts that follow the all-too-familiar format, “I called the admissions office and got blah blah blah and they said they don’t know when” where being posted on this forum up to and [I think] including December 15th. Oh, by the way, the released decisions December 15th, right around 4pm. Don’t sweat it. </p>
<p>Yeah, you’re all probably stressed. Senior year is stressful–college apps, emotional turmoil, friendship riffs–everyone has them. But I guarantee you that your amount of stress right now (barring tremendous human tragedy) doesn’t surpass what the Admissions Office has been going through the last month and a half. Frequently I’ve walked past Rosenwald the past few weeks at night and the lights have been on on the first floor. (That’s where the admission office is). These people read thousands of apps, sort them, read them again, sort them again, read again, argue about them, and then sort them, and then make sure you all get sent the right letter and have the right document pop up on your computer. It is preposterous how much work they have to do, and, like someone said above, they probably get hundreds of those phone calls every day asking when decisions will be released. Not to mention they’re still running all of their normal university activities including PSAC, campus visits, tours, info sessions, and prospie overnights (but, I guess, not right now since we’re on break). </p>
<p>All in all, it sucks. I agree. Just please stop berating them on this forum. All of the people I have met in the admissions office are INCREDIBLY congenial. Considering they owe me very few niceties since they don’t really deal with current undergrads, I think that’s something significant. We all know you are frustrated. I was just as frustrated as you all were just a year ago. But in a few days, some of you will be more happy than ever, and congratulations to you. Some of you will, regrettably, be angry, sad, in denial, etc., etc., etc… and that’s a shame, but such is life. I didn’t get into every school I applied to, and most people don’t. In the words of Kurt Vonnegut, “so it goes.” Don’t let your entire life be shaped around the deferral or rejection from some college.</p>
<p>And for those of you who do get rejected, or deferred and subsequently rejected: it was just an application. You sent in a bunch of papers that reflected you. Perhaps it really did reflect a truthful and honest version of you, perhaps it didn’t. But ultimately, they rejected your application–a stack of papers–not YOU. You do have worth, and getting rejected from college does not mean you are worthless crap. This school just wasn’t right for whatever person was portrayed in your application, for whatever reason. </p>
<p>That being said, good luck to you all, remember to breathe, sleep, do your homework, drink plenty of water, blah, blah, blah.</p>
