The OFFICIAL University of Chicago RD Decisions "Discussion" Thread - Class of 2013

<p>This being the one school for which I haven't yet steeled myself against rejection (since I have a good chance of getting in and really want to go), I'm hoping the decisions come before next weekend but after tomorrow.</p>

<p><.<</p>

<p>I've got the last few serious tests of the year this week.</p>

<p>"Neither Out Far Nor In Deep"</p>

<p>The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.</p>

<p>As long as it takes to pass
A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull.</p>

<p>The land may vary more;
But wherever the truth may be--
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea,</p>

<p>They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?</p>

<p>-Robert Frost</p>

<p>I just found this poem appropriate.</p>

wow.. My bday is today :) i was kinda dreaming that the decisions would come today n I'd be accepted :D</p>

<p>^Maybe your dream will come true. That would be a really nice birthday present from Chicago.</p>

<p>Btw happy birthday!</p>

<p>i applied for financial aid..it's relatively tougher to get in when you are asking for aid.i didn't have an option unfortunately..</p>

<p>@ neethu : happy birthday</p>

<p>neethus, today as in the 16th?</p>

<p>Well, then, I hope decisions come today ** and ** that we both get accepted. So, then we will both have something celebrate for in our bdays haha.</p>

<p>I love wishful dreaming. Happy birthday either way! 18, I presume?</p>

<p>Yeah! :) the 16th. And no, I am older than you, I took 3 years off so I'm 21( Incase u din't get the math ;) ) I live on wishful dreaming :D Pisceans rock!!
Happy bday to you too :)</p>

<p>someone posted this on the list of acceptance dates thread "I've heard of friends already getting into UChicago. So look out for a letter in the mail. Three of them received decision letters in the past four days. "</p>

<p>letter in the mail? so early? could this be?</p>

<p>Maybe they are talking about EA</p>

<p>i checked my mail today and no letter!!</p>

<p>Does the decision show up in your status page or comes via email first? What all tabs/how many tabs you see in your status page now?</p>

<p>Once you login to your account, you will see a notice in the middle of the page that is highlighted in yellow (I think yellow). It says that your decision letter is ready and directs you to click if you'd like to see it.
The email notice does not have your decision---it only tells you to check online. Don't completely rely on the email, though.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I dont know why that header came out on my post...</p>

<p>But I can't see anything after logging into my account.
Are you sure ???</p>

<p>I can't see anything either</p>

<p>Then decisions must not be out yet...</p>

<p>@vandit_daboss - admissions are need blind. Applying for financial aid does not hurt your chances.
<a href="https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/facts/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/facts/&lt;/a> (See financial aid at the bottom)</p>

<p>Ya, dont rely on the email because my EA decision email came 6 hours after the decisions were posted on the applicant website.</p>

<p>its need aware for internationals!</p>

<p>Happy birthday, Neethu! :)
AB- Yes, it was most definitely caused by being deferred. Can I sue Chicago now? :p</p>

<p>I have a feeling decisions are coming out today. Please note this feeling has no basis in reality and is probably completely and utterly wrong.</p>
