hey just joining now, sumbitted my app last night so now I’m just a bundle of nerves. Im kinda worried about the first short answer, the one about the topic or concept that interested you. what did you guys write about?
*submitted
Quantum physics. But that does not really matter. Each topic has a specific relevance to each person, so you can go with whatever.
yeah I wrote about computer science but idk I feel like I didn’t really explore that topic enough so that short answer might not be good
also for the long essay, I wrote about being undocumented? did anybody else write about something like that? do you guys think I chose a good topic?
Um, no offense, but how should we know if it is a good topic? It’s about your life. If being undocumented is an important part of your life, then yes, it probably is a good topic.
It doesn’t matter what topic you choose, as long as it’s important to you and well-written, and your message was conveyed appropriately.
For the first short answer, I wrote about stem cell therapy
Just finished my application about 10 minutes ago. Feel pretty solid about it overall and I’m anxious for late April to come! Thank God for that extension!
I finished my application and submitted it the day before it was originally due. No, I didn’t receive an extension for the application’s deadline. If I had to guess, it’s probably due to the fact my parents’ combined income makes us appear ‘wealthier’ than the maximum income requirement. However, my family’s medical bills are very high, basically the amount of a decent salary. I did include the exact amount in the application. I’m honestly not very hopeful that I’ll be selected. My sense is that QB’s income requirement is basically set in stone. Anyway, sending best wishes to all the students that applied.
I just submitted my application… does anyone know any stats of people who got in? Not stats of the person individually but in regard to the entire program, like what the acceptance rate is or how many people apply

I JUST GOT NOTIFIED THAT I WAS NOMINATED FOR UCHICAGO IMMERSION!!! CALLS WERE BEING MADE TODAY TO APPLICANTS WHO WERE NOMINATED!!! CHECK EMAILS AND VOICEMAILS!!! I AM FREAKING OUT GUYS!!!
Congratulations! @chillen
@chillen congrats! but I was wondering if the people who got an extension can still apply for these programs or have they already been filled up?
@chillen congrats!! That was really quick–apps were due less than a week ago!
Congrats!! I didn’t sign up for it lol so I won’t get one I don’t think
@Sophie00 I honestly have no clue. The email didn’t include how many other people were nominated, if they’re still nominating, which programs they have nominated for, or how many spots are still open. I would definitely go for it though! There’s no harm in trying. 
@chillen thank you!
@chillen, congratulations! You’ll love Chicago. It’s an incredible city.
