<p>"Kamil,</p>
<p>Rumors are never a good thing...:)
We plan to send our decision letters by the end of this week, so you should
have it early next week.</p>
<p>Good luck and happy holidays"</p>
<p>Argh.</p>
<p>That's intense bullshi.</p>
<p>I have to wait one more week!?....They will mail it on 15th, so it says on the website. we probably will recieve it on 16th or 17th.</p>
<p>well i live in the burbs and i didnt get it today. maybe i'll just stay home all week.</p>
<p>haha....i second that, but my parents will not agree and i am taking exams the whole week.</p>
<p>yeah i got the whole "there's only 5 days left of school, why cant u just finish off the week you have three swim meets and a concert too blah blah blah..." lol i wannna knowww!!!!</p>
<p>That e-mail was downright smug! Now they plan to send them "by the end of the week"? What happened to the 15th? And before that, the beginning of the week? I love Chicago, but I really can see admissions counselors sitting in front of the computer screen, cackling at all of us. Schadenfreude much? At this rate, we're going to be the last people who applied early to know our "fates." I already found out my decision from another EA college. Ah, but I guess we already knew Chicago was old school. And as the website says, "Patience is a virtue." Right.</p>
<p>Haha, I went out to my mailbox and saw a fat package sitting snugly within it. I pull it out, it's addressed to me.</p>
<p>Oh shi...Oh shi...</p>
<p>It was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania concerning that petty little FAFSA. What a tease.</p>
<p>haha...bohemianrhapsody (long name to type:)) I would expect chicago to stick to their word. The website said "mid-december"....very broad, then mail it on 15th...and i expect to see a mailing date of 15th on my mail. It is old school....and as a grandpa in a book says "you gotta stick to your word."</p>
<p>oh man brinestorm the same exact thing happened to me today... only mine was a fat package from WUSTL containing such crap as viewbook common app (my fifth one!) and some engineering book thing.....</p>
<p>I never thought i would be so excited/scared to get the mail.</p>
<p>Fake snake..wow..your name is Kamil...That's my dad's name. I never met anyone else with that name.</p>
<p>Kamil rhymes with Tamil. </p>
<p>All Indians should know something about that....</p>
<p>Hey, I'm Polish, I'm bound to have a weird name.</p>
<p>wow...u are Polish? Tamil is a language in south India and Kamil is a very common name. </p>
<p>A Polish Kamil? What is the world coming to?!</p>
<p>Apparently my dad named me after one of his favorite TV characters... it's a pretty common Polish name...</p>
<p>Also, a common French name... Camille Saint-Saens...</p>
<p>Ah...I'm arabic...Kamil must be more international than I ever imagined.</p>
<p>seems so.....</p>
<p>on the side note, Are we answering prompt #2 for Chicago? commonalities and differences in languages...</p>
<p>The unconcious surfaces in the concious... we are all geniuses.</p>
<p>Just a random thought: I bet when you attend orientation at UChicago, Dean Ted O'Neill pulls you aside individually and says, "Although the speech I'm about to give will poke fun at Chicago, it's all true. Welcome to hell, fucstick." And then he breaks a ingeniously-sly smile and dismisses you.</p>
<p>for the record, ted o'neill responded to my email about this by telling me to believe the website. so theyre getting mailed wednesday. </p>
<p>anyone know if chicaaago priority mails it? or will i have to come home right after school friday?</p>
