Official UChicago 2017 RD Thread

<p>my school didn’t offer B so I had to jump into C with no prior physics experience (always been a bio/chem person). the textbook has been my best friend all year in that class…</p>

<p>I haven’t taken AP Bio myself (the material kinda scacres me, and the teachers who teach it are rather so-so), but I took Chem last year and Physics this year. (: I thought I would do pretty poorly in physics, but I’m actually doing okay despite having “skipped” a year of physics - took Honors in soph year, then jumped into C this year.</p>

<p>LOL, I just woke up from a dream… In it, my D logged in & found a notice in big blue letters: “Still Upright.” Huh? Then there was a sentence I can’t remember, but it basically meant that she was still in the running & would hear back later. I thought, “Oh, that’s their quirky way of saying that she’s wait listed… haha” Then I woke up & it took me a few minutes to realize it was a dream!</p>

<p>I don’t know if <em>I’ll</em> still be upright by the end of this, with all these nerves! Good luck to all of you.</p>

<p>they should just accept all the CCers. look at us caring so much about all this and getting so stressed that we’re all venting and sobbing our eyes out.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what time the decisions are coming out?</p>

<p>And, about the essay thing, if anyone’s still interested, I did the Heisenberg one just cuz it totally intrigued me and I didn’t think very many people would choose it. Of all my college essays, I spent the most time over that one. I have mixed feelings now though.
The prompt was something like- “Heisenberg says that we cannot determine both position and momentum of an electron simultaneously. Choose two other concepts that cannot be known simultaneously and discuss their implications.”
I simply fell in love with UChicago after reading that prompt.</p>

<p>Best of luck for decisions, everybody!</p>

<p>in 12hrs time??</p>

<p>My essay was too edgy. Dang it.</p>

<p>The day just started.
I woke up with a stomach ready to jolt out of my body. This is going to be a long day.</p>

<p>I’m gonna watch some Dexter and Criminal Minds to pass the time.</p>

<p>@stupiddorkyidiot</p>

<p>Thanx for the support :slight_smile:
I’ll just hug my Dartmouth LL while I brace for UChicago impact :/</p>

<p>^ haha I’ll be right next to you hugging my LL from UPenn :slight_smile: My dad really really really wants me to go to UChicago though so I’m kind of getting really nervous.</p>

<p>Hey.
So I did not get an email from uchicago telling me that results come out today, instead I found out from a friend who saw them post a fb status… How did you guys find out about today? Also, around what time will the results come out, and how so (email or manual log into the account thing)?</p>

<p>on their website… <a href=“https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2013/03/2013_regular_decision_release.html[/url]”>https://blogs.uchicago.edu/collegeadmissions/2013/03/2013_regular_decision_release.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You guys and your likelies! Y’all have (almost) nothing to worry about. Congratulations :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@lol, nobody got an email - they posted it on their Facebook page and on the admissions website. They will email us when decisions are ready, then we’ll log in and check (to the best of my understanding).</p>

<p>My phone just gave me an email notification and my heart stopped a little bit. It was just an outreach email from Al Franken…</p>

<p>Why do decisions come out so early?</p>

<p>Sent from my SGH-T769 using CC</p>

<p>i already concluded that i probably won’t get in and should stop caring. i woke up and i was nervous. gahhhhh i hate this!!</p>

<p>I was totally calm about it last night, and I still sort of am. I’m just a little on edge. But yeah, I really think I’m going to get rejected. Not because I’m not qualified, but because I don’t think my essays were Chicago material. Well, heck, I dunno.</p>

<p>So we’ll get an email with instructions to reach the admissions decision portal right? Anyone know what an acceptance looks like? Is there a video or music or something?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I will be rejected. At this point I’m just praying for a miracle to happen. lol. My essays were great (my final essay was about my napoleonic complex being my worst enemy lol) but my sat score is actually horrendous. Oh well. Good luck guys!</p>
