<p>You should tell the admissions office about this immediately... this is a huge mistake and they'll want to know about it.</p>
<p>That was to Apollo1331.</p>
<p>With regards to Apollo's non-predicament, he HAS to enroll at Rice and decline Chicago. This does not violate Chicago's EA policy. There really is no further discussion needed.</p>
<p>You're absolutely right in every way. But don't you think that Chicago's admissions office would like to know that they made this mistake? This is why Apollo should contact them.</p>
<p>What's the mistake?</p>
<p>Oh, I just noticed...anyways, it's still no big deal, and no rush, since even if he is in fact accepted at Chicago, he'll still be going to Rice.</p>
<p>good point, jpps1</p>

General Comments: i was very scared as i saw the number of very qualified candidates get deferred on these threads... i was consistently worried my application didn't reflect my intellectual curiousity well enough but i guess it did?</p>
<p>what the hell does it mean to be brown?that is disgusting</p>
<p>How is that different than "black" or "white" or "yellow" or "red"? I dunno what sort of disgust you are talking about.</p>
<p>Uh oh... the political correctness police are here! :D</p>
<p>I'm not PC, but rob's comment doesn't make sense to me. I just don't see why he would bother posting something like that.</p>
<p>what kind of person says brown? where are you from that you are brown?</p>
<p>uh..india/pakistan/middle east. </p>
<p>i'm a brownie, i'm from south india. it's pretty common place for us to refer to ourselves as brown. just as some chinese people say that they're yellow.</p>
<p>To rephrase what I said before: who cares?</p>
<p>JackBauer: The PC police.</p>
