<p>I actually think I have a good shot of getting in, which I think is a bad thing because I’ll probably get disappointed tomorrow.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, we should all commit suicide like right now :/</p>
<p>guys… WHAT are we going to do if we don’t get in???</p>
<p>in my psychology class we just finished studying schizofrenz (sp?) and i’m really starting to relate to it and i for real think i’m going to develop like 7 unique paranoid personalities if i don’t get an acceptance letter.
i ONLY applied to uchicago, so my future depends on this!
what are you guys going to do if you don’t get in??? ahhhh i’m freaking OUT.</p>
<p>two of my friends got into Yale yesterday. Really happy for them but also extremely scared for myself. Friday, please be kind.
I’ve been unable to do anything else.</p>
<p>Exactly one day, people! #iamgoingtodiewaiting</p>
<p>I feel like I’m going crazy waiting and I keep thinking stupid what-ifs like “what if it’s really 5 am” or “what timezone are they even referring to?” But knowing chicago, I feel like something like that could happen</p>
<p>@mgh. It’s 5PM. It’s central time. Nothing to worry about :)</p>
<p>Thanks. I have to say I’m both relieved and disappointed though :/</p>
<p>Did anyone of the EA applicants receive a University of Chicago Poster during the last few days? Does it mean anything?</p>
<p>Yeah, I mean, I got a letter from uChi that talked about how great their humanities department is a couple weeks after I submitted my application, which was basically centered all around the humanities as I want to study visual art and art history. At first I thought there might be a connection between the two but I really doubt it. I’d say to you guys with similar situations (poster, etc. -the poster is beautiful though, I currently have one on the wall in my room :D) to not think too much of it, really, in the grand scheme of things. I feel like these mailings are purely coincidental and are just a part of uChi’s advertising system, irrelevant to whether we even applied.</p>
<p>Ohh please let it be tomorrow!! xD I couldn’t possibly wait any longer… At this point I’m ready for anything, just no more waiting !! D=
Good luck to everyone ;O</p>
<p>The stuff they send you means NOTHING. I am going to be a philosophy minor and also got the humanities letter/poster</p>
<p>wait so its 5pm central time? jesus thats another hour I have to wait…</p>
<p>I received a poster long ago, and the humanities letter. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!</p>
<p>I received a poster, and the Life of the Mind, a 1cm thick booklet on why you should attend Chicago/what it’s like. They’re really good with the propaganda.</p>
<p>And also…they said by 5pm Central…does that offer the possibility of earlier? :D</p>
<p>I expect the decisions to be up by 4:30PM CST at the latest. They had a lot of complications last year, so I think they’ll be up early. I’m SO EXCITED!</p>
<p>i didnt get anything!</p>
<p>just got deferred from MIT, looking forward to another deferral or rejection!</p>
<p>@Azndarkvader – sorry to hear that, I got deferred from Georgetown this week so I want UChicago’s decision to be one that cheers me up too :)</p>
<p>@ManyMoons – I think it’s best for us to assume atm that it’ll be 5 PM CST (even though they didn’t indicate time zone darn it!) But I’ll be waiting at my computer from 5 EST on just in case, baking cookie brownies (YES, they exist) to keep me a tad bit more sane (and I’ll need some consoling sugary goodness depending on this decision…)</p>
<p>My biggest fear: everyone will be checking it at the same time and the site will crash and I’ll go bald from the agony of it all! I have a research paper and a test on the French Rev this Monday, I kind of would like to feel a little more relaxed with an acceptance in hand, but I’m not so sure about the decision now either considering the increase of applicants…</p>
<p>@Mgh92 – I’ve had dreams like that for the past two nights! (No, I am not getting much sleep as a result) </p>
<p>And about the poster–I don’t remember if I received one or not but I do remember getting two identical, very thick, color booklets from them a little while back… (I think it might’ve been a mistake in the mail. Or do they want me twice as much? <em>wishful thinking</em>) A friend of mine got a t-shirt when she sent her scores in early, too-- they do this college ad thing very well. I wouldn’t rely too heavily on that poster now, but we’ll see tonight!</p>
