<p>Good luck getting into Snell-Hitchock, Sarahbara. If I go, then I'm putting Palevsky as my first followed by Shoreland (I don't mind the distance from the campus).</p>
<p>Speaking of Shoreland, did anyone see the article in the Chicago Chronicle that they're breaking ground for the new dorm to replace Shoreland in Fall of 2006? Does that mean the dorm will open in time for the 2008 school year.</p>
<p>I hate construction. It always gets in the way of traffic.</p>
<p>wow.. so if i need to get in the housing app in for priority processing, i'll only have two weeks to decide on a school! ah!!!</p>
<p>its not mr first choice either, but i got into my first choice a day ago so it doesnt look like ill be attending uchicago even if i get in, it was like my #4 or $5 choice.</p>
<p>good for you.</p>
<p>jnumberscpcnumbers: "good for you."</p>
<p>Nice.</p>
<p>I would assume that the new dorm HAS to be complete by then as shoreland is (IIRC) gone for good after that.</p>
<p>Good luck on that single sarah (though as an only child, double was it for me). Sending it in that early should definately put you in the running (depends when you got it) because I doubt many people did it right away.</p>
<p>Yeah, good luck with that. Easy senting and a good draw is needed for Snell, since EAs took most of them already, from what I've heard.</p>
<p>Brinestorm,
I don't see how that jpc deserved that. I can definitely see how someone would get frustrated with people who just post on any school's board just to let everyone in on how they got accepted to their dream school and that Chicago is not important to them anymore. I understand posting for the sake of posting as a way of venting, but those kinds of posts are gratuitous and annoying (esp when they add the little "Good luck guyzzzz!" at the end, :P). No offense, Kosuke (I don't think you meant to come off like that).</p>
<p>Chicago is definitely my first choice. Great programs/opportunities/people/culture, I (unfortunately) couldn't find another place like it in my college search. BTW, did anyone else apply to St John's in MD? According to my alumni interviewerperson, it seems like that's a place a lot of UChi prospies apply to as well.</p>
<p>Deserve what? If he was trying to offend me by saying "jnumberscpcnumbers" then he needs more practice. Its the internet, you need to expect bullied nerds who needs to be a prick for once in their lives. I used to be a prick too (just not on the internet, it takes the fun out of it) but then I turned 15.</p>
<p>Why are you addressing me?</p>
<p>So how is your spring break so far Brinestrom?</p>
<p>I thought I made that clear with my post...
But if you're asking why did I care enough to post something like that--saw a flame war in the making, wanted to stop it. That kind of thing shouldn't be on the UChi board. This isn't the Parent's Forum.</p>
<p>Na, a flame war takes two or more morons.</p>
<p>Obviously you were never a prick because you have prickery all wrong. Many whov'e felt the wrath of a prick would like to claim that pricks prickify out of insecurity. Well, let me ask: do you think being a prick is comfortable? preferable? easy? You would be cowering in fear at the thought of others diapproving and/or hating you if you were I. How is that for insecurity.</p>
<p>And besides, I was not trying to insult you for once. I liked the tone of your post, or at least the tone which I interpreted.</p>
<p>"This isn't the Parent's Forum."</p>
<p>OUCH! Are we that uncivil? ;)</p>
<p>Hey you guys,</p>
<p>Somewhere on the UChicago website they actually have a PDF with all the plans on the Shoreland. I think it's supposedly incredibly expensive to maintain and doesn't hold enough students, near enough to campus. Some students protested against getting rid of it and building a new dorm closer to the center of campus, but the administration proved it was indeed more expensive and inconvenient to keep it. Shoreland looks like a cool place though. I'm sure they'll match it, though, with a new dorm, which I believe they're going to build a few minutes west of Burton Judson, which would be MUCH nearer to campus. Good luck with Max P., redski! Haha, I think the center of campus is going to be overflowing with CC-ers...</p>
<p>No, actually being a prick is really out of insecurity if you look deep enough. First, we need to analysis the reasoning, conscious or subconscious, behind all actions. First, there is nothing to gain by making enemies. Being a prick means picking on, making fun of; doing something that is simply not good to somebody else. Now, why would anybody make somebody else feel less of a man (or woman, or human being) if they have nothing to gain? Pricks gain self assurance by asserting their self perceived dominance on others because of something lacking inside. Now to answer your questions, being a prick is the easy way out of discomfort. With discipline and maturation, I think you will find that being a prick is really a waste of time. </p>
<p>Now, Im not attacking you, like I said, I was a major prick. Sophomore year, I joined the tennis team and there was a kid who sat in my usual seat on the bus ride to matches. I poked fun of him all the way to the match and half way back home (school). He was so angry that he got up to feign a punch at me and I got up right there with him. Prickery rule number one: keep your steps in a certain boundary, but keep your steps close, so that your persistent nuisance will cause the real victim to step out of line so that you have an excuse to totally demolish him. So what happened was, I was going to destroy him but we made a deal: he needs to kiss my gym shoes on my feet. Im not proud of that or any other prick moments I have done in the past; there is really no need for it. </p>
<p>And also, I am very very experienced with dealing with pricks. My Rusky friend Alex (he is Russian, it figures) is the biggest prick I have ever known in my life. He even admitted he needs AA (A-hole Anonymous) consoling. So its alright man, there is no hard feelings at all. After all, this is the internet.</p>
<p>Sarahbara, I really hope that you get Snell-Hitchcock. I lived there and it was great. Breckinridge is similar in many ways, but the location is just too far from the center of campus. You can't beat Snell-Hitchcock. I've never heard of Maclean- must have been added after my time.</p>
