<p>Not necessarily. We've all heard the expression that college admissions is a crapshoot, but often the decisions can seem arbitrary. One school may reject you yet another school "higher" on the rankings may accept you or vice versa. Different schools look for different things.</p>
<p>I recently sent in an update about a couple days ago. Anyone think it'll matter if they're looking at the final few hundred slots?</p>
<p>One of the other parents, coureur, posted this on the Harvard forum in answer to a similar question:</p>
<p>"I don't know about Harvard specifically, but for every school I do know about, the horse trading by the adcoms continues right up until the very hour the notices go out - with people going off the reject pile and onto the accept pile and vice versa."</p>
<p>We don't know if it will help or not - it depends on the timing, and how firmly you are in one category or another. But - if you send good information it <em>might</em> help, even at the last minute.</p>
<p>wow, march 22nd...i'm going to wet my knickers. seriously.</p>
<p>what a queer date to pick - the 22nd</p>
<p>Aye carumba! Why must U Chicago be so speedy with their decisions? I would prefer April 1st.</p>
<p>I like finding out sooner...a lot.</p>
<p>does canadians count as international students at u of chicago??</p>
<p>candians are internationals almost for every college</p>
<p>except for Canadian colleges</p>
<p>thanks for stating the obvious</p>
<p>haha, yes..........'twas a joke</p>
<p>'Twas being the key word.</p>
<p>so since im canadian and canadians count as international..i guess that means that if i DO NOT get an email on 22nd.. then I AM IN??? am i correct? then what about americans?? all of them have to wait for mail then??</p>
<p>and by the way... can someone link me to the insider blog thing at u of chicago site because i cant seem to find it... thank you</p>

<p>YES! heheehheeh.. thank you merumerume!</p>
<p>haha, there's a 7-hour time difference with my country, so I basically won't sleep the night of March 22, cause late in the night in Bulgaria would be afternoon in Chicago. And the funniest thing is that I will be waiting NOT to receive an email... that would be an odd situation :)))</p>
<p>:D VerBore, me too...</p>
<p>You are correct!
Esquared, you still make me laugh.
Someone:Candians are international students at every college.
You: Except at candian colleges. </p>
