<p>you guys are CRAZY! </p>
<p>And that's why I applied to Chicago:]</p>
<p>ROAD TRIP TO THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE</p>
<p>I'll bring the self-deprecating humor.</p>
<p>I kind of feel bad for all you I'm-only-going-to-apply-to-Chicago-RD people because at least I know that I'm not good enough to get into the University of Chicago (deferred EA-side note, I created my user name on CC after getting deferred by Chicago. It was a very emotional night). </p>
<p>In this sense, I will not be extremely surprised by the rejection that is MOST definitely coming my way. I have realized that I am not nearly quirky enough for Chicago, nor do I enjoy scavenging as much as the average Chicagoan, apparently. </p>
<p>I guess, in that way, I already know that I don't live up to their standards, the mystical "oh I'm definitely smart enough for chicago!" illusion has been doused with kerosene and set aflame! </p>
<p>Burn baby burn! (Unless Montag decides to put me out..)</p>
<p>Ha!! I hope some internet cables or whatever don't break in the middle of the pacific and atlantic ocean :D</p>
<p>deferred^
I knew before I applied that I would be rejected. That's not to say it won't hurt finally receiving it, but I never thought, "oh, I'm definitely smart enough for Chicago!"</p>
<p>@Deferred
You gotta be glad that you still have a chance. The people at admissions musta found something in you worth U of C. Whereas, many of here who have applied RD, have no idea where we stand.</p>
<p>Exactly Neethu! </p>
<p>That's kind of what I was trying to get across that I, essentially, know where I stand with the lovely Chicago admissions officers:]</p>
<p>So you are lucky in a way. At least luckier than us RDers. :)</p>
<p>"I kind of feel bad for all you I'm-only-going-to-apply-to-Chicago-RD people because at least I know that I'm not good enough to get into the University of Chicago"</p>
<p>^^^^^^yeah :]</p>
<p>One can never tell. Keep hoping :)
Cos that's what I am doing.</p>
<p>prayers and hope..good luck to all</p>
<p>Gahhhh, I hope they come sometime this week. Like today, lol? </p>
<p>Oh, and AsianTOfu- I can bring a self-deprecating sense of humor, too. Who's paying for the gas? And who's vehicle are we taking on this roadtrip? :p</p>
<p>I hope it is within the next 5 minutes.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't know. I feel that I have no idea where I stand for Chicago because they put so much emphasis on essays. At least at all the other schools I applied to I have a good idea of where I will and won't get in.</p>
<p>I don't think they're releasing today. Good chance tomorrow ... if that happens, I won't be home to check CC until 9 or 10-ish, so I'll be unable to unlock the decisions thread. </p>
<p>If that happens, someone should contact a super mod ... in this case, try PMing molliebatmit.</p>
<p>Man, this waiting really does suck, even more than I thought it would. It's so odd; I've received a few acceptance letters to other schools that I really do love, and I thought that would reduce my anxiety about waiting for Chicago to make up its damned mind about whether I'll be attending in the fall. But, instead I'm even more... nervous, I guess you could say, since I know that Chicago really is where I fit best. Or at least I think so... Hopefully the admissions people will too, but my deferral seems to send a different message. Ah, Chicago; why do you torture me so?!</p>
<p>i'm gonna guess march 28.</p>
<p>i need a weekend (like this up-coming one) to mentally prepare!</p>
<p>I cannot wait. Good luck, guys!</p>
<p>Good luck to you too!</p>
