<p>HURRRY...haha, if it is its such a short admissions letter.</p>

<p>it is so short. i liekd the UCLA one better. it made me feel so special.</p>

3

<p>UChicago's acceptance e-mail is so much better.</p>

<p>honestly, worst acceptance ever haha...i was totally waiting for fireworks or something</p>

5

<p>There are links to letters on the left...like from the chancellor and stuff.</p>

<p>Yeah but its not hte same. U know that when its a link, the comp automaitcally puts ur name htere. I'm sure the comp puts ur name there anyways but when its the first thing u see (like UCLA), it surprises u a lot more.</p>

<p>At first, I even thought I was denied cuz it was 2 lines.</p>
