<p>someone mentioned before on Facebook that someone already received their decision. ill paste what the person said on Facebook:</p>
<p>"girl from my school who is really under-qualified already got in to u of chicago.
to list a few of the issues: she has never taken hard/honors classes in school, she only has mediocre grades in the classes she did take, she left junior year to go to an arts school where she became addicted to coke and had to go to rehab, and she's just overall a really underwhelming person.
evidently she has killer test scores (2220 on the SAT), but u of chicago claims that it doesn't really look at those numbers."</p>
<p>i dont know if this is true or not, but theres been a lot of dicussion going on in that University of Chicago 2008 applicants Facebook group.</p>
<p>This is BS... no one's gotten decisions yet. Maybe the girl meant UIC or something and didn't know what she was talking about.</p>
<p>And I don't know what 2 char is, but 10 char is what people write when their post isn't long enough. Each post must be at least 10 characters long.</p>
<p>ArielTriton -- he isn't just being sarcastic. A post on facebook should be scrutinised as should anything else. We have no assurance she's being honest, that the person who told her this isn't lying or that there isn't some kind of misunderstanding. Moreover, we haven't been offered any compelling evidence.</p>
<p>The ONLY way she would have already heard would be if she applied and was accepted last year and then deferred for a year. Decisions for this year have not been sent out regardless of what she is claiming.</p>
