<p>I got mine too. I live in southern GA. It's so pretty and fancy!! I think I'm going to go ahead and send my commitment fee now just to show that Chicago is my first choice. Does anyone know what effect this has on admission?</p>

<p>umm... by getting the letter in the first place aren't you already admitted?</p>

<p>Got mine last night. (East Texas resident)</p>

<p>I remember I did a college admissions roundup with one of my high school friends a few years ago where we went out to coffee in mid-April, after all of his decisions floated in. He had a lot of good news, but he brought his UChicago folder with him to coffee and couldn't stop touching it. He enrolled :-)</p>

<p>lol. yeah I meant merit scholarships. I was typing fast lol.</p>
<p>Sending the $350 fee early will not have any bearing on which merit scholarships you may or may not receive, but the fee will affect what dorm you will be eligible to live in.</p>
<p>Still no big envelope... hope we get it before heading over the river and through the woods!</p>
