<p>I called Chicago's admission office today and asked when the early action decisions would be released. I was told early next week and by mail, not email. I hope the person I talked to was wrong.</p>
<p>no! go away!</p>
<p>No way! Libby Pearson said herself that the decisions would be e-mailed AND mailed, although she was rather vague with regards to a date and a time. Not following through would result in extreme disappointment. :(. I surely hope that the e-mails will come through on Wednesday (or even Friday!)</p>
<p>yea, libby said on the blog that it will be early next week, by email and mail</p>
<p>check this out!

Its still vague, but this is defintely a setback.</p>
<p>I've said this before, but --</p>
<p>They extended the deadline for me, so I don't mind returning the favor.</p>
<p>mother****</p>
<p>I sincerely hope that the people in Admissions can actually give us a specific date. I really need to know when to check my e-mail, especially since we're getting our decisions after December 15th.</p>
<p>it's a little disappointing... :(</p>
<p>but it's also understandable. they're doing their best, and they've kept us well informed.</p>
<p>if you've just received the news, you'll accept what i just said in about 2 hours.</p>
<p>they should've sent us e-mails on wednesday with the subject line "We regret to inform you..." and when you opened it it would say "that we've pushed back the decision release by a week."</p>
<p>had they done that...
ugh
I agree with Chris; this sucks but is better than pure confusion.</p>
<p>so while we're all anxiously waiting, who thinks they're in and WHY?</p>
<p>personally, i'm thinking deferral because i wasn't wacky enough in my essays, although they were great essays that i felt told a lot about me as a person and some certain experiences in my life.</p>
<p>not questioning your logic, but how wacky do you think they expected essays to be?</p>
<p>i'm sure people overplay the "wacky" side of the essays; you can be a freethinker without being "wacky."</p>
<p>maybe wacky was the wrong word. i think they were just expecting something more "fun", maybe more entertaining, than what i had. as long as my admissions officer is awake and attentive, i think she'll appreciate my essay. it was creative, it just wasn't funny.</p>
<p>same here...</p>
<p>yeah i was obsessing over what i could've changed in my essays a couple of days ago but whatever what's done is done. i still don't want to do other applications though UGGG</p>
<p>Crap. I need to know because my school gets off this week, and if I don't get in then I need teacher recs for safety schools. Crap crap crap.</p>
<p>Same.</p>
<p>I was curious about how the hell they'd be done early with the huge increase in applicants this year. I suppose it makes sense.</p>
<p>I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin im so nervous. Not realy nervous, but impatient. I just want to know. *#%$ you 10% increace!!!</p>
