Handwritten Letter?!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Chicago ✅

<p>Did any other accepted people get a handwritten letter from their regional counselors congratulating them? Those little things really count to me for some reason. lulz. =)</p>

2

<p>I got one, too.</p>

3

<p>Are they at all specific?</p>

4

<p>Yeah. They talked about stuff I wrote in my essay.</p>

5

<p>Didn’t get mine today, and I live just outside of Chicago. Hopefully I’m special enough to earn one.</p>

6

<p>I got a card! Mentioned my common app essay…</p>

7

<p>Say what???</p>

8

<p>No, but I did get a merit scholarship, so I’ll take that…</p>

<p>that’s cool though</p>

9

<p>I just got mine today and it mentioned the subject of my common app essay :)</p>

10

<p>I got one as well! I received a university scholarship so I’m not sure if it has to do with that? But it was a nice thought :smiley: (if only the card was redeemable for some financial aid haha)</p>

11

<p>I got one too! It mentioned something I said in my “Why UChicago” essay.</p>

12

<p>^^ I got the university scholarship also, but no handwritten letter. So there’s probably no correlation.</p>

13

<p>Received my handwritten card today, though it says nothing specific, unfortunately. (Merit scholarship winner here, to those confused above.)</p>

14

<p>How did people find out about the merit scholarships?</p>

15

<p>Have most of you received your acceptance packets yet? I still have not received mine. I’m wondering was it an actual package in a box or did the stuff just come in a big envelope?</p>

16

<p>Mine came in a big envelope.</p>

17

<p>My letter was a bit of a disappointment–just a holiday card with a generic two-line message.</p>

18

<p>Scratch my earlier post. I got a handwritten letter and the merit scholarship, so perhaps there is a correlation. </p>

<p>It had some specifics on the theme of my application. I actually met my regional counselor, so it was more personal than most I suppose.</p>

19

<p>How do we actually find out who our regional counselor is? Is there a link in on UChicago’s website??</p>
