<p>i didn't realize that my supplements did not get sent through until recently and i emailed my admissions counselor to let him know. he told me that uchicago would do their best to evaluate my application but guarantees could not be made because it was submitted so late.. i submitted the supplement into my uchicago account and i called to make sure it was still considered EA... i'm still considered an EA applicant but am i an automatic reject because i submitted it so late:O?? i'm dreading/ pretty sure of a rejection -_-;;</p>
<p>If you’re an outstanding applicant, they might be able to overlook the lateness of your supplement. They won’t automatically reject you (I hope not), but it doesn’t exactly look good to send in a part of your application a month late.</p>
<p>We shouldn’t get our hopes up anyway, since there’s 20% more EA applicants this year. The acceptance rate is going to be looowww.
I’m going to write a letter to Santa.</p>
<p>thanks for the support! i know 
my chances seem really slim (to make matters worse, uchicago is my dream school…) sigh… hoping for at least my ED school to pull through</p>
<p>Look: What the counselor said was fair and realistic: They will do their best to evaluate your EA application, but can’t guarantee it. That’s a far cry from “automatic reject”! At worst, they will evaluate it RD, I’m guessing. Either way, I don’t think your chances will have been much affected. So take a deep breath, stay calm, and try not to worry about it.</p>
<p>Ello if it’s your dream school why did you ED elsewhere? ED is binding!</p>
<p>how late exactly? Nov 15? Nov 25? Nob 30?
I say that if u got it in before Nov 15 or something it should not matter at all. Especially with all the hurricane sandy delays this year, the admissions are prbly gonna give some slack to the deadlines.</p>
<p>If you got all that stuff in on like Nov 25 or after (or sometime around then) it could be different, but however since you called them and they told you u were still gonna be considered as an EA applicant, i wont be worried about it.</p>
<p>and to answer ur question: submitting late supplements = automatic rejection?
No way.</p>
<p>Why would a school reject a top applicant because something arrived a tad late? Material could indeed arrive too late to be considered (all spots allocated, etc.).</p>
<p>I think if supplement was sent after Nov 15, it will likely be considered an early RD application. Please be sure to report back if you get an EA decision; good luck!</p>
<p>thanks guys for the support… hopefully my chances won’t be affected drastically by my stupid mistake, even though i’m pretty sure they will -_-
Can you guys look at my extended essay? I know it gets worse towards the end… but generally what do you think? Don’t be too harsh lol
Essay Option 1: “A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.” -Oscar Wilde. </p>
<p>Othello and Iago. Dorothy and the Wicked Witch. The Autobots and the Decepticons. History and art are full of heroes and their enemies. Tell us about the relationship between you and your arch-nemesis (either real or imagined).</p>
<p>Man or machine</p>
<p>My arch-nemesis is a machine. A bionic robot programmed for perfection—a soulless, single-dimensional horror. Faceless, monotonous workers engineered her, injecting performance-enhancing neurons to create a killer creature, a competitive monster. The machine travels down the assembly line joining the never-ending army of machines–a clone in an army of clones. Every machine is identical in its ideal image, its flawless focus, and its perfect productivity. My arch-nemesis is produced to pursue perfection with weapons of mass destruction - cerebral engines polished for perfunctory performance. She is a “Stepford” student. And she is me.
Inimicus pessimus meus ipsius sum, or I am my worst enemy as the saying goes. The machine in me is my cutthroat competitor. Her exemplary, or more accurately stated, extremely inane expectations guide my life. I unleash the brute beast within me to meet her demands, working senselessly while losing my humanity. The beast clocks countless hours memorizing heavy, never-ending textbooks, churning out papers, and practicing math problems with a religious fervor. I worship at her flawless feet and offer myself as sacrifice. I become a mental machine; I become the beast. I sell my soul and enter my hell: a dark society obsessed with sinful superiority. My education becomes a clich</p>
<p>@Murphy600 i applied ED to somewhere else because of family pressure to do so :xx</p>
<p>awesome news guys!!! my regional admissions counselor said that uchicago will still evaluate my application!:DD even if this means that i’m getting rejected, i’m realllly grateful! besides the uchicago application pool is so strong, i’m honored that i’m even considered! good luck to everyone else applying to uchicago! i bet everyone is brilliant and will succeed at wherever we end up at:)</p>
