<p>I have a better chance getting into Stanford then getting into UChicago!</p>
<p>@Oscarlany Yup!! In Seattle! Are you in Washington as well?</p>
<p>Yes I am! I’m from Bellevue.</p>
<p>Wow, small world!! Did you apply to their honors program?</p>
<p>@enz2013 - awesome taste!</p>
<p>@GiveMeReason - why is that? Give me a reason!!! I’ve actually been contemplating re-applying there, but I don’t think I’ll send in my application? I would apply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>Meeeerp. I wish transfer decisions came out this Friday, too. The curiosity kills me. I guess this would be more appropriate to post in the transfer thread if it wasn’t dead @_@ BTW I’m preparing a text post for you guys and it’ll be my next one on this thread so hopefully it’ll help.</p>
<p>@blackbelt no I didn’t…and I’m starting to regret it. But UW is one of my last resorts so hopefully that won’t be a problem. What about you?</p>
<p>Looks like the URM hook even worked for the new pope</p>
<p>^LOLLL Best comment. Ever.</p>
<p>Yup I did, hopefully I won’t have to end up going there but it was like one more essay, so I decided to go for it, in case things didn’t work out with my top choices.</p>
<p>just out of curiosity, anyone else applying to UChi from the Chicagoland area?</p>
<p>So decisions come out Friday and I know that most of you are really anxious. It might seem as if this one decision is the line between failure and success - your fate hanging on a thread. But, in actuality, fate is fate and you’ll soon find that life will play out the way it’s supposed to, regardless of this decision.</p>
<p>What happens if you don’t get in? Who will you be? You’ll still be a daughter or son, student, friend, learner, someone who has overcome obstacles no doubt, etc. Eventually, you’ll probably be a spouse, and/or even a parent. Also, a doctor or entrepreneur or writer or actor or ski bum (in a good way) or some other career or job that you’ll hopefully LOVE! These lists can go on forever. The possibilities are endless!</p>
<p>Last year, as a senior, I really wanted to go to Stanford. I was on my break at work when I saw the decision pop up in my email box. I didn’t know if I should open it because in that moment, I didn’t know what was going to happen. I finally decided to open it, though. And of course, an eloquently written BIG FAT REJECTION. After my shift, I drove to my friend’s house where I cried my eyes out while she made me mac & cheese. I didn’t know what I did wrong. I didn’t know if I should re-apply or go to some other school that I had been accepted to. I think, the uncertainty of having a plan was the scariest thing ever. But it can also be the most liberating thing ever. I could move to a different continent or take time off to write a book or take courses online or catch up on sleep debt from the past six years (let’s be serious, we probably all need at least the last one).</p>
<p>I continued doing what I loved, signed up for CC classes, got two jobs, and life has been pretty good. I took an even better look at colleges, talked to my friends who went to all kinds of different places - Harvard, Stanford, USC, Michigan, Florida, some random school in Europe?? Honestly, looking back, I don’t think I would have fit in that well at Stanford in the first place! I re-discovered U-Chi which I realized that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. But if it’s unrequited love, I’m okay with that, too. Because no matter where life takes you, you’re still you aka awesome! </p>
<p>I’m a firm believer that you can do whatever you set your mind to and that a college does NOT define you. There are many ways to accomplish your goals. Uchi might be one of them, but surely not the only one! BTW this video is really inspirational/one of my faves: [Everybody's</a> Free (To Wear Sunscreen) Lyrics - YouTube](<a href=“Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) Lyrics - YouTube”>Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) Lyrics - YouTube)</p>

<p>thesmiter - yeah, I don’t come to CC when I want /b/… </p>
