<p>Yeah, I have exams this week, nothing tomorrow. I’m dead.</p>
<p>I am so pysched. I am so frightened.</p>
<p>@shadowzoid, for me my school has a professional development day, so no school. Idk about the others on CC.</p>
<p>I need this to be my first acceptance… but I have no idea what will happen.</p>
<p>I really hope to get accepted soooo badly. Already got three rejections, and one acceptance with 18,000 per year merit scholarship. Still have seven more to hear back from but OH MY GOD I BETTER GET ACCEPTED TO CHICAGO!!!</p>
<p>What’s the estimated acceptance rate this year?</p>
<p>Idk, I’d say around 15-18% all inclusive of RD and EA, but that’s just me. Probably around 11% for RD</p>
<p>@shadowzoid: I’m on march break! lol</p>
<p>Grrr someone tell me how to calm down…i’m freaking out!</p>
<p>@fatum I feel your pain… My heart is racing so fast, its not even funny. I’ll never be able to sleep til I hear back lol… I need to know NOW! I am hoping to god I don’t get a rejection.</p>
<p>Does anyone else read the “post your essays” thread, and feel like **** about their own essays compared to the thread? I thought my essays were very strong originally, and everyone who has read them including my interviewer has thought they were great, but now I don’t even know anymore. They seem like crap compared to the ones posted on CC. Maybe I’m just overreacting…</p>
<p>Lol 2015hopeful DON’T REMIND ME about the essaysssssss XD.</p>
<p>Somehow I had a little shimmering hope before, and it extinguished as soon as I saw this thread.</p>
<p>I can’t get this decision off my mind…I wish I had no school the rest of the week… then I could just sleep my way til decision time lol :)</p>
<p>Ohhh dear. I thought I’d be cool and calm about this, but just reading past RD decision posts makes me really, really nervous. 
Good luck to all!</p>
<p>God, I am soooo nervous. Probably more nervous than all of you, considering my stats are much below the average for Uchicago… I hope to god they love my essays, and I hope my fantastic interview helps me, and the fact that Chicago is my top choice… and my great recs… ahhhhh…</p>
<p>Yeah, I got a 29 on the ACT, which is terrible by UChicago standards. I’m hoping that my essays and ECs can make up for my sub-par grades. The interview was a lot of fun, too! Really casual and interesting.</p>
<p>For how many others of you will this be your first decision?
It’ll be my first news, and let’s hope it’s good!</p>
<p>I got a 26 on the ACT… I only took it once cold on Feb 2011… I only took one practice test before the exam. On actual exam I got (27 English, 9 essay, 27 English/Writing combined, 32 Reading, and 23 on science and math)… How much does being a URM (biracial-- African american and white), help? I wrote I was black on the common app, but expalined how I was biracial in my common app essay.</p>
<p>Good luck CranberryOrange! How many colleges did you apply to?</p>
<p>Thanks!
I applied to nine…
Good luck to you too!</p>
<p>Thanks! I applied to 12. I got rejected from NU Medill ED, and two others so far. I only got one acceptance to DePaul in chicago with 18,000 a year merit scholarship. But I REALLY do not want to have to end up going there lol. I still have seven more to hear from including uchicago… I could talk on this thread all night lol…</p>
