<p>Early Application Decisions will be available by 5:00 on Friday, December 17th.</p>
<p>On Friday you will receive an email with instructions on how to view your admissions decision via your UChicago Account. We will also mail admitted students their acceptance packets on this day. Deferred and Denied students will not receive notification by mail.</p>
<p>Please do not call the office for your admissions decision. We cannot give decisions by phone, email, or any other means of communication except for the letter in your College Admissions account or in the mail.</p>
<p>In the meantime, while you internally debate the virtue of patience, why not generate a few academic sentences courtesy of the University of Chicago Writing Program?</p>
<p>Stay tuned to the Uncommon Blog for more Early Action details in the coming week!</p>
<p>i liked the post on snow… Bears succumbing to it [Pats ftw wooo!]
and i just love snow, but we are uncharacteristically getting little in massachusetts right now…</p>
<p><em>worries that Chicago did not receive my application withdrawal email because I sent it yesterday night and didn’t get a reply, though all my other schools replied</em></p>
<p>That said…good luck to all EAers! Chicago is a great school.</p>
<p>@blorgit: haha, i got into a school early so i’m kind of in the same boat.</p>
<p>honestly, things would be smoothed out if i get rejected from uchicago =P then i wouldn’t need to email them telling them that i need to rescind my app because i got into cornell</p>
<p>Yeah, I was accepted to my school ED and I’m not bothering withdrawing the Chicago app. I withdrew everywhere else. I’ll just … deny their offer if they do accept me. :shrug:</p>
<p>This does not help EAers who didn’t get into their ED school. ): If you are accepted to Chicago EA, you are taking up a spot that someone else could potentially be filling. You should withdraw like you’re supposed to.</p>
<p>I agree with InvisibleMonster. You may want to just see what happens on friday for personal satisfaction, but it doesn’t help others who actually would go there when they are accepted EA. Also, I’m sure Uchicago would appreciate it; it would mean they’d get a higher yield (% people admitted from accepted).</p>
<p>yup, honestly it doesn’t take that much effort. chicago is my first choice - it would really suck to think that I might have had a better chance of getting in if it wasn’t for EDers who never withdrew their applications.</p>
<p>i’ve seen like an admissions person from uchicago that posts here, so hopefully he’ll see my post and reject me lol.</p>
<p>but i really don’t think that my withdrawal (which i want to do btw) would affect any of you in the end. yes, if i got accepted i would take up an EA spot, but when summer comes, uchicago will realize that not everyone accepted their offer, and thus they’ll just go to their waitlist to fill up their school. i guess what i’m trying to say is EVERY SPOT WILL BE FILLED SOONER OR LATER. THEY’LL JUST GO TO THEIR WAITLIST AS USUAL. if i do get accepted, my taking of a spot will be filled in the end by someone who will actually attend. if you have a chance at uchicago, you’ll be waitlisted. if you are rejected, sorry but you wouldn’t have gotten in either way i don’t think. however, by withdrawing apps, i think that it could save someone that is waitlisted and then accepted months later a lot of anxiety, for i would never have “taken” their spot temporarily in the first place. so i do think that withdrawing apps is the right thing to do =) </p>
<p>If you’d rescinded, then maybe someone who was deferred wouldn’t have had to be. Just rescind. What would it take out of you anyway? Oh, and on the same train of thought, how would the adcom know which app you are? Seriously.</p>
