<p>Other threads can say what they want, but they aint got nothing on UChicago :)</p>
<p>Hmm I had the financial aid thing asking for “profile” on my UChicago account yesterday, but it’s gone today. This happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>My uchicago account says N/A [my last name]. Is there a reason it doesn’t say my first name ?</p>
<p>@nebraskagal - May be on the day of the decision N/A is going to flip to ‘Congratulations’</p>
<p>@poseidon007 my financial aid thing still shows. it asks for the tax returns and the profile. are you sure you didn’t send in the profile? otherwise i’m not sure why it would disappear</p>
<p>I applied to Northwestern, University of Chicago, U of I, Notre Dame, and University of Michigan. Got in everywhere so far, can’t wait to hear from University of Chicago! <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>Congrats @nw2017! I am applying to University of Minnesota (Carlson), UMich (Ross), UChicago, Wisconsin - Madison, and UPenn (Wharton). I’ve only heard back from Carlson so far. Hopeful for UChicago!</p>
<p>isn’t northwestern binding?</p>
<p>Northwestern is binding -_-.</p>
<p>So if you apply to a binding program and get accepted, does your application to the other schools automatically get cancelled?</p>
<p>They don’t automatically get cancelled. If you apply to a binding program (Early Decision), and you get accepted, then you are supposed to withdraw your applications from all your other schools barring any financial difficulties.</p>
<p>I think there is a certain amount of time you get to withdraw the applications, but if you don’t by that time and the colleges find out, they could potentially rescind offers of admissions. </p>
<p>But besides, it is also a moral/ethical issue. If you know you are definitely going to “X” school, why would you potentially take up spots from other applicants?</p>
<p>Okay makes sense. I didn’t apply to any ED so phew!</p>
<p>got into georgetown! hoping for uchicago too :)</p>
<p>The fact that you have to pull all your other apps once you get accepted ED is a huge myth and I wish people would stop spreading it. You must pull your apps once you say YES to your ED. You’re allowed to keep other apps pending until the deadline to respond to your ED comes.
For UChicago specifically, their EA policy says they want you to pull your UChicago app once you hear from your ED, regardless of whether or not you have said yes. Some other EA schools may follow this policy but I can’t name any more that do. </p>
<p>Anyway, it doesn’t make logical sense that most ED schools would allow you to apply EA to other schools and then tell you to pull all of the apps before you even hear a decision from those schools. It would be horrible if people pulled their apps before saying yes to their ED, and then the financial aid doesn’t work out, they say no, and are out of EA options. Keep your apps until you say yes to your ED- minus UChicago. </p>
<p>To the person who got accepted ED to Northwestern: you need to pull your UChicago app now out of respect for UChicago’s specific policy and for other applicants who would love that spot you’re potentially taking.</p>
<p>No pulling your app doesn’t really take any spots. It is already too late to change the fate for any EA applicants and it will be pulled in time for any RD applicants. Plus, it is not like there is an exact number that they are shooting for, so one person pulling an app does not mean one person who would have been rejected would would now be accepted.
I would have pulled my app anyway if I had been accepted to my ED school because there is no way to win in waiting. Either your confidence is bruised with a rejection or a bunch of what-ifs and doubts are raised by an acceptance.</p>
<p>is anyone else feeling legitimate anxiety as we slowly approach tuesday?</p>
