[</em>] Job/Work Experience: cashier at Firehouse Subs for a little over a year
[<em>] Essays (subject and responses):
Common app: it actually would have worked for the "live the question" prompt, it was all about my love of film and how it's changed me, it sounds generic, but it was really good, my English teacher said it was the best that she'd read all year
Essay 2: I did the street essay, and I wrote backstories for all of the characters on Sesame Street
Why Chicago?: I talked about various reasons why I wanted to go there, but it mainly focused on the quirkiness of the school and how you couldn't really define the student body, and how I'd fit in because you can't define me
I didn't do the optional essay
[</em>] Teacher Recs: I know that the one from my AP Euro teacher was amazing. I don't know about my AP Chemistry teacher, but I had her for two years and I think that she really liked me, so I'm guessing it was really good.

NC school: large public (2500+), not as good, people aren't as competitive, it's seen as a really good public school here, but I don't think it's that great, most go to state schools, but going to an Ivy is a big deal
[</em>] Ethnicity: Hispanic
[li] Gender: F[/li][/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I'm really excited although UChicago is not my first choice. I'm still waiting to here back from the Ivys and Georgetown, but UChicago is very high up on my list. I really think that my essays were what made me stand out. I'm a really great writer. I also think that race may have had a little bit of a factor as well. Congrats to all who got in, and good luck to all those who were waitlisted or rejected.</p>

<p>Congrats, I was so stoked by getting rejected with my great SAT's, ecs, etc. 2370.</p>

110

<p>carborn, stats aren't everything... especially when you consider all the test prep options available. I know this really sucks, but given your apparent level of success I'm sure you'll get in somewhere where you belong. UChi has a very distinct atmosphere and maybe the admin officers thought that wouldn't be best for you. I don't think it's because you're not qualified - definitely not, if what you've shared is true and representative of all your achievements. In any event, I send you my condolences and wish you the best of luck.</p>
