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

<p>Ahh. I rilly rilly rilly hope it's tomorrow. I legit am driving myself insane. The sad thing is, I'm pretty sure I'll be rejected...and yet, hope lives eternal. :[</p>

<p>Oh no! I hope it is not tomorrow...</p>

<p>I will be gone all weekend, starting on Thursday :-/</p>

<p>yikes!</p>

<p>Yeah, rejection looks pretty good for me too. It'd be nice to know, though!</p>

<p>Such mind games Chicago plays...</p>

<p>Why they can't just establish a concrete date for admissions decisions? </p>

<p>The world may never know..</p>

<p>^^probably out of some sick, sadistic pleasure at watching us die-hards squirm o_0
...okay, maybe not. but someone somewhere might be reading this forum and laughing themselves comatose at how stressed we are.</p>

<p>Haha, I muttered out an "uh oh" after I read the title of admissions blog today. I was completely amused after I finished reading it because it completely sounded like she was addressing us here on CC :)</p>

<p>finally, the wait might be over..good luck to all.</p>

<p>Fivewinks- Nah, the title wasn't "STOP OBSESSING!!!" Then it REALLY would have been aimed towards us. ;)</p>

<p>I'm convinced I'm rejected, but good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>Was the blog entry deleted??? I don't see it, and the link is a 404...</p>

<p>Wanna join the Pessimist's Club? I'm going along the same lines too. </p>

<p>Probability of rejection: p = 0.9999999999 (essentially 1)</p>

<p>Perhaps Chicago is reading our posts RIGHT NOW and that they're having fun by toying with us to see how we react. After all, we do pounce at the SLIGHTEST change on their website, because we'll interpret it as a sign that they have our decisions ready.</p>

<p>Or maybe we are all freaks who need to get out more?</p>

<p>nahhh...</p>

<p>I have no clue when decisions are going to be going out. All I know is that these lines of Christina Rossetti's begin to run through my mind whenever I think about Chicago:</p>

<p>"I looked for that which is not, nor can be,
And hope deferred made my heart sick in truth
[...]</p>

<p>I watched and waited with a steadfast will:
And though the object seemed to flee away
That I so longed for, ever day by day
I watched and waited still.</p>

<p>Sometimes I said: This thing shall be no more;
My expectation wearies and shall cease;
I will resign it now and be at peace:
Yet never gave it o'er.</p>

<p>Sometimes I said: It is an empty name
I long for; to a name why should I give
The peace of all the days I have to live?—
Yet gave it all the same.</p>

<p>[...]
Thou knowest the chase useless, and again
Turnest to follow it."</p>

<p>I can't explain it, but this poem just seems so fitting and perfect right now... plus, "hope deferred" basically explains my situation with UofC perfectly :)</p>

<p>^^^@ab2013</p>

<p>We know that .333333...=1/3=3/9 and that
.66666666...=6/9, so wouldn't
.9999999...=9/9=1?</p>

<p>Haha that's my probability of rejection alright.</p>

<p>I got an acceptance from USC in the mail today so Universities are still sending out acceptances! There is hope! This hope is killing me though, I really wish Chicago would hurry up and reject me =P</p>

<p>UCLA came out todayyyyyy</p>

<p>OMG yes I know... and I got rejected from UCLA. I'm so scared that it means I'm also rejected for Chicago because I love Chicago!!!!</p>

<p>ps. I'm international - i'm just telling myself to make me feel better about my UCLA rejection.</p>

<p>Yep. You got it!</p>

<p>I hope you get in, AB. Hopefully RD will be kind to the deferred.</p>

<p>now would be the best time for a "DECISIONS ARE IN" joke</p>

<p>^ i'm telling myself it's ok if it's a rejection, my D has already 3 schools under her belt... the hardest will be to confort her!!</p>
