THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
OFFICE OF COLLEGE ADMISSIONS</p>
<p>December 15, 2008</p>
<p>Dear XXXX:</p>
<p>The Committee on Admissions has carefully reviewed your Early Action application to the University of Chicago. After much consideration, the Committee has decided to enter your application into the Regular Notification pool. We simply believe that more information concerning the applicant pool and your senior year is needed for us to make a good decision.</p>
<p>Please send your present term grades to our office as soon as they are available. Upon receipt of your grades, the Committee will again consider your application and send you its decision by April 1, 2009. If admitted, you will have until May 1 to respond to our offer.</p>
<p>If you have any questions concerning this status, feel free to contact Madeline Wirtz by telephone at 773-834-6769 or by e-mail at <a href="mailto:madeline@uchicago.edu">madeline@uchicago.edu</a>. You may want to update your file with any new significant information that you think would help us understand your candidacy better. We hope that the University of Chicago remains high on your list and wish you luck in the spring admissions competition.</p>
<p>Yours truly,</p>
<p>Theodore A. O’Neill
Dean of Admissions

<p>Looks like it's gonna stay that way. :(</p>
<p>Not today??? Ugh I couldn't focus in ANY of my classes today! I'm just going to chill because I don't think I can handle another day like today. Stop teasing me, Chicago!! :(</p>
<p>If they are going to do them Monday, might as well do them Friday, so if nothing tomorrow, then I will go under the assumption not until Tuesday. More condusive to inner peace and harmony</p>
<p>f this. this whole waiting game/not telling us has made me less and less inclined to go to uchicago if this is how their administration works.</p>
<p>i think they think this is cool. maybe thats why alot of ppl dont apply here.</p>
<p>Everyone, let's just stop all this speculation. It's detracting from the reasons Chicago would want us. Let's all have a do-something-productive party instead. Less angst, right?</p>
<p>no chicago likes angst, so we should really keep this up. anyway, i don't care anymore.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with asiantofu. I say we instate a "no speculation" rule...otherwise we'll drop dead from all the anxiety before they actually release decisions. :]</p>
<p>also, aisantofu, I know this is a bizarre question, but were you ever a member of Oasis or queerattitude? 'Cause your username seems familiar...</p>
<p>why is everyone so over their heads right now?</p>
<p>just calm down and breathe. it was early anyway to expect a decision. how can your desire to attend chicago suddenly change just because they didn't release decisions today? i would hope that your desire is ever strong/just as strong as it was yesterday. </p>
<p>yes, i also disagree with the idea of not informing students with a date--but it's obviously something we can't fuss about now. when we're accepted to chicago (hopefully) then we can be productive and bring the issue to chicago for future students. but until then, let's not grumble.</p>
<p>before we all know it, the decisions will be UP. and so will many other schools next week. </p>
<p>i agree with asiantofu. that's why i went and did my laundry in between. i'll probably go for a run or something now.</p>
<p>whenever, whatever</p>
<p>I think the reasoning behind not specifying a date and time for decisions is so the AO can avoid the server crashes you hear about all the time. At most you'll have the people on CC, lurkers, and some others checking in concentrated waves, but for the most part it makes the process more gradual and prevents the frenzy this thread obviously foreshadows.</p>
<p>I'm going to do calculus now. Completely serious.</p>
<p>hey maybe they'll be posted in 5 minutes.</p>
<p>imma shoot for 6 pm EST</p>
<p>you mean CST ;)</p>
<p>^ yea lollll</p>
<p>hey that makes sense, come on 6 o clock.</p>
<p>nothing....</p>
