<p>Oh man...I'm gonna call now too! lol</p>
<p>This is getting intense.</p>
<p>Danoush, who did you talk to?</p>
<p>Crystal. </p>
<p>I asked her when we are going to find out. She asked me if I was EA or RD, I said EA and she asked my named looked up my file and said I will find out tomorrow. I said "is it a bad or a good thing?" and she said "noo! its a new batch tomorrow"</p>
<p>I don't know what that means but I'm still not getting my hopes up.</p>
<p><em>cries</em> I talked to the woman who answers the phone when you call the admissions office and she said there wasn't a decision made for me, but there might be some released tomorrow, or so she heard. I'm trying to decide if I should call Jerry around 4...though I've been calling like everyday...maybe he's annoyed with me. lol</p>
<p>it sounds like they aren't sending out rejections, only acceptances, i just wish they would send out rejections during this time, so at least people would know if they were still being considered or not.</p>
<p>and where are people getting jerry's number from?</p>
<p>From [url=<a href="http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/level2.asp?id=190%5Dhere%5B/url">http://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/level2.asp?id=190]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>Just scroll down to Jerry Doyle.</p>
<p>Another student from Georgetown was accepted on Friday:</p>
<p>Me: I was accepted at UChicago.
Friend: No way! One guy on my floor was also accepted.</p>
<p>I just talked to Jerry to ask for my decision. He looked up my file then asked for my phone number and said he was going to call me back in a minute!</p>
<p>I think Jerry is quite skilled in the art of torture. :D</p>
<p>Good Luck JohnM represent for us CCC little folk.</p>
<p>So we seem to have figured out that they are making about 25 decisions per day. That's encouraging. Are they e-mailing decisions every day or are people only finding out by calling up?</p>
<p>emailing but we are impatient and calling them.</p>
<p>But there's no evidence that they've emailed anything since friday.</p>
<p>....still waiting for Jerry's call....</p>
<p>I bet tomorrow is the first batch.</p>
<p>So basically we have very little idea of what's going on. Which is a lot more information than I have about all the other schools I applied to, but somehow those ones aren't driving me nuts... I'd rather I never found that blog... or CC for that matter. Too late now though.</p>
<p>Same here. The little morsels of info are worse than nothing at all.</p>

25 students a day? Interesting. Lets assume that they actually do give 10 mins per app, that would be 250 minutes. or 4 hours and 10 minutes. And of course the 3h 50 minute lunch break in between.</p>
<p>Maybe I should become an admissions officer, sounds like my kinda job :P They probably do more than that but still...</p>
<p>I kinda feel bad for Chicago though. I mean yes I feel worse for EAers and RDers like me, but everyones on their ass. Rightfully so, but it must also be difficult for them to calm down angry applicants on one side and try to review applicants on the other.</p>
<p>Does any one else feel like Chicago will be sending out a huge package with t shirts and candy to admitted students to make up for the mess?

<p>When I said that Cornell CAS reviews around 30 applications a day, nobody believed me. </p>
<p>Dont forget that there is more than one admissions offcier. </p>
<p>Also, 10 minutes is not enough to read and summarize. At least when it comes to my applications.</p>
<p>There is a difference between reading an app., and an application being in a committee. I would guess that it takes 10-15 minutes to read an app, but in committee it would only take about 2-5 minutes max (i read an article where in penn's committee they average 1 minute per application). The thing is I guess that all the officers read the applications, which i guess is a good thing, and the reason that decisions are coming out so slowly. </p>
<p>any word John ?</p>
<p>No word. </p>
<p>1 hour, 10 min >> "a minute" :(</p>
