<p>I’m. so. nervous. Is it true the number of EA applicants increased by ~20%? …</p>
<p>sadly it is…I kinda wish I had applied ED to columbia…the anxiety (thats only going to increase in the next week or two) is just killing me!!!</p>
<p>Yeah I know…I start crying out of nowhere because my love for UChicago is just…they need to either reject me or accept me because I don’t think I can handle the whole defer thing.</p>
<p>well two of my friends (who also applied ea to uchicago) today said that when they visited uchicago recently, the college had said most likely dec 15. for the early decisions</p>
<p>Got rejected from Columbia today. Now my only hope for lessoning univ pressure is UChicago EA. Columbia was just brutal today, rejecting tons of strong applicants. I don’t think I stand much chance for UChicago mainly cuz of my major econ, Asian international only with 2240 SAT. I would be in extreme depression if rejected/deferred from UChicago EA.</p>
<p>^ December 15th is a saturday, so i dont know if they would release decisions on a weekend. Although they did say around mid-december on UChicago account so it could be around then. Possibly 14th (Friday) or 17th (Monday)?</p>
<p>I’ve been hearing 17th…but I really hope it’s the 14th…
I can’t do this for much longer.
On some days I feel confident…but on other days I just feel like I have no chance at all. College decisions are emotionally damaging.</p>
<p>Yeah I also got rejected from Columbia today. I really hope Chicago comes through for me because I don’t know how well I would handle two rejections.</p>
<p>omg guys im getting anxiety from waiting… please please accept me uchicago <3</p>
<p>hey guys. yeah i got deferred from Columbia today. admissions is brutal and crazy. uchicago was my #1 choice along with columbia so i’m praying right now…not really expecting much tho. deferral at best.</p>
<p>well, everyone should expect the worst but hope for the best u know? just b/c you got deferred/rejected from Columbia, an ivy league, doesn’t mean ur results for uchicago will be the same. they’re different schools with different standards. don’t give up all hope!</p>
<p>what do you guys think the acceptance rate is going to be for ea?</p>
<p>Hey everyone! Pleasant to find a group of people as freaked as I am for “mid-December.”</p>
<p>EA rates were at unprecedented highs this year, so my speculation is that we’ll see a very low acceptance rate. Especially if they’re anticipating a high number of RD applications (and they’d be fools not to!), it’d be logical to defer a lot of us and then look at the whole pool of applicants in order to select the cream of the (enormous) crop. </p>
<p>Just my hunch, though. As for me, I suspect rejection or admittance as my stats are pretty decisively bad but my essays are good. I’ll get love-it or hate-it treatment, probably. Also I hate the idea of a defferal so this is all an orchestrated scheme to make me feel better about myself. </p>
<p>Anywho, hi people! Good luck to all!</p>
<p>After getting outright rejection from Columbia, I became much humble. I wanted acceptance from UChicago, but now, I want anything but outright rejection</p>
<p>I love Uchicago to the point where I sometimes forget the other schools I applied early to…
This is bad. I should probably try to fall in love with another school…a less competitive school…</p>
<p>If it’s the 14th we should get the email today, but we haven’t, so I’ll guess it’s 17th or 18th.</p>
<p>Last year, UChicago released its EA results on Dec 19th, Monday. I really wish the result be on 14th but I’m more convinced towards 19th. Since UChicago would need to take out admitted applicants who are also admitted to their ED school, so UChicago EA results would always be released slightly later than ED schools’.</p>
<p>I thought I read somewhere that the results come out the 17th</p>
<p>I agree 17th is more convincing because 17th is Monday like last year Dec. 19th.</p>
<p>That’s so cruel…why on a monday…that means I have to get through a whole week of school after getting deferred/rejected…</p>
