<p>Congrats hakbar!! :) </p>
<p>Now... what's up with the USPS?? This just reinforces the fact that I don't trust them or my school's mail system. <em>sigh</em> </p>
<p>Am I being paranoid... or do you think UChicago sends out acceptances first and then rejections later??? If California residents have already received notification... why haven't I? :( sorry... just very anxious.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>i just got in.!!!! I recieved the packet this morning and i didn;t even know it. :)</p>
<p>IT's a big white packet.</p>
<p>Man, now i'm having second thoughts about cornell. The thing about chicago is that i will ahve to turn in alot of different finaid stuff, for many reasons. It's just a hassle.</p>
<p>Oh well congrats everyone</p>
<p>Congtratulations hnbui, though this will make your decision about which college to attend a difficult one, it is definite that this sort of qualm is the one all applicants welcome:)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your kind words, I really appreciate it. </p>
<p>Undecided, I'm sorry about the default answer. Believe me, I've gotten my fair share of those in the last couple of weeks. </p>
<p>Hope that everything works out for the best.</p>
<p>I'm sure that I'll be rejected, which is what makes this so frustrating. Why does it have to take so long to send a thin envelope? :P</p>
<p>Oh well. More waiting commences! And I called my mom in case they send it to my "permanent" address instead of my mailing address, for some reason.</p>
<p>Congrats, hnbui! Tough decision, but it looks like the fin aid thing (as well as having, you know, already put in your Cornell deposit) makes this one a little easier. :></p>
<p>Okay, I've finally come to grips with this entire process - everything. haha I woke up this morning and knew that it could be the day the letter comes, but then I realized that honestly... it doesn't matter what the letter says. If I don't get in, then I don't get in, but that won't stop me. I will have learned something from this entire process and that's what counts... </p>
<p>I think I can safely say that I'll be pretty content with whatever decision has been made. After all - I've already been given the tools to succeed... lol</p>
<p>Good luck to anyone else who hasn't heard yet! :)</p>
<p>At least one of us has made progress!</p>
<p>I know I'll have to be content with whatever decision comes, and I know that I have two equally great places to go, so that no matter the decision, it's not as if things are closed off to me. I can reapply next year if I don't get in because I am only a freshman. </p>
<p>So it's all good.</p>
<p>I just hate waiting. ^^</p>
<p>(Ditto the good luck! :))</p>
<p>Wow, this mode of conversation has taken a downturn.....</p>
<p>I propose this- if we don't get in, we go to chicago and burn down a university building. Anyone?</p>
<p>And I believe this is day 37-38</p>
<p>hahaha yes...yes indeed</p>
<p>Rejected.</p>
<p>And no, I don't need any arson charges on my record, thanks. I think that would kill any future chance of going places. ;)</p>
<p>I am very tempted to write a not-nice letter to the admissions office about timeliness, toying with applicants, and wasting hundreds of dollars in application fees, score reports, postage (and EXTRA postage because they LOSE things), and emotional taxation. </p>
<p>Man, now I need to go through this all AGAIN next year. Fun.</p>
<p>No letter yet...
Oh, and yes, I'm living in Chicago. So I called them, and the lady I spoke to was confused... so they're resending it... and still... more waiting. Yay.</p>
<p>I have a question.... Is anyone else's school still processing final grades? Because currently, as I was deferred, Chicago needs the spring semester and they won't be ready until the end of the week. </p>
<p>My question for anyone... will this severely limit my enrollment chances? </p>
<p>Sorry Undecided. Sucks. BUT, you have another fun year on the wonderful collegeconfidential.com website</p>
<p>i was deferred too. I just found out i way accepted the other day. Basically what i turned in was my midterm grades, not my final grade.</p>
<p>Still...no letter... <em>sigh</em>...........arg</p>
<p>Oh thank God. I got in. But the way I found out was pretty weird too. I left my college after finals and Uchicago sent the decision to my college mailbox. Even though I told them to send it to my home, but whatever. My friend checked my mail for me and she said I got this smallish letter which said I got in but went on to talk about credits transferring. I also had a slip for a larger package, which was probably the large white admissions folder. Anyways, I called the school to ask them for another package sent to my home address and they confirmed that I was accepted, but I have yet to receive this package... Maybe the people there are just reaaaaaaaaally overworked?</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I am immeasurably happy to go to UChicago. I had expected not to get in and now that I did get in, it throws all my immediate plans, so I'm a little confused. Also, I might get to live in my own Chicago apartment!!! (Ok, I might be gloating a tad bit. I'll shut up now.)</p>
<p>congrats~~~</p>
<p>Oh, since I did post on here about how I was so frustated to not get a letter, I will confirm that I never received a letter. They told me that I wasn't accepted over the phone. I handled it quite well - alas, I will stay in Chicago for another year, but at a different school and who knows, maybe this is just a sign that it wasn't a good fit. Positive spins can work wonders for those of us rejected I suppose. :) Congrats gkatta!</p>
<p>REJECTED. I was sent two letters. Two. Of the same thing.</p>
<p>i was sent two rejection letters too.
i mean, i got the message after i opened the first letter--
i know they don't want me.. no need to rub it in my face.. </p>
<p>i'm sure it was an office mistake though..</p>
<p>Yeah, their computers have been on the fritz for like the past 2 weeks. A week ago I got the same letter I got back in April saying I had been deferred to Regular Admission. So, you're not the only ones who got odd letters. Then a couple days ago I got my decision letter saying I had been put on the waiting list... Will this ever end!</p>
