**The Unofficial University of Chicago Early Acceptance Thread**

<p>As great as California may be, I'm nearly 100% Irish and being in the sun would do me no good. :) That, and I don't feel like going that far away to school, and I need my 4 seasons.</p>

<p>ducktape - I did MIT and UofC EA too...:D</p>

<p>chicago chicago chicago chicago.. damn i'm nervous/excited</p>

<p>you know, if by any chance im accepted, i'm going to the second city every friggin night, no joke. thats my incentive.</p>

<p>my mom and i are flying up there to visit after new years if i get in. :)</p>

<p>Don't come until January 7th if you get in. Seriously, man, the campus is awful when it's empty.</p>

<p>Man I hope we all get in. We're all way too obsessed with this school.</p>

<p>wow -- I had 3 dreams about UChicago last night</p>

<ol>
<li>I got in</li>
<li>I got rejected</li>
<li>I got in</li>
</ol>

<p>sigh...this is unhealthy</p>

<p>Two out of three ain't bad odds! :)</p>

<p>QB already found out.. too bad i'm not one of them. Gahh I'm soo anxious.</p>

<p>Trick question: Any of you, if accepted to both MIT and UC which one would you pick?
(posting on the UC thread doesn't necessarily give you away).</p>

<p>I'd pick MIT. Better reputation + Easier == Win.</p>

<p>I'd pick U C, less competition</p>

<p>MIT. I live too close to UChicago, MIT has a better sailing program, and MIT's Biology resources are unparalleled.</p>

<p>But seriously, though, you have to hear (read?) this:</p>

<p>Remember how I was joking a while back (and maybe this was on the MIT forum, I don't remember) about how with my luck, I would be scheduled to work Friday night (one of the current guesses for UChicago decisions) and all day Saturday (a popular guess for MIT is at noon)?</p>

<p>Guess the ONLY times I'm scheduled to work next week.</p>

<p>6-10 on Friday, 11-7 on Saturday.</p>

<p>WHY DOES GOD HATE ME.</p>

<p>He's just teasing. If he really hated you there would be a mail strike, your computer would crash and you'd be fired all early on Friday.</p>

<p>Phuriku, you fail. Chicago = <3.</p>

<p>(J'adoube, if God really hated ducktape, she'd get fired at the end of Saturday -- after having worked all day and not gotten her decision.)</p>

<p>haha, let's all think of hypothetical "God hates ducktape" situations, shall we?</p>

<p>The worst possible scenario would be:</p>

<p>I run home on my lunch break Saturday to check my decisions, then my computer crashes, then I have to return to work without having the decisions, I end up having to clean up goat pee again (true story- I work at a pet store and that happened last weekend), then get fired for failure to focus on my work at the end of the shift, returning home to two rejection letters.</p>

<p>Even I would have to then concede that there is indeed a God, and he does in fact hate me.</p>

<p>anyone know when they're coming out?</p>

<p>Ducktape,
Since you work at a pet store, I can only hope your name doesn't refer to what you have to do with the ducks to keep them under control... ;) I think that if you have to clean up goat pee, you deserve at <em>least</em> a deferral!</p>

<p>We actually don't have ducks- but if we did, trust me, I would be very tempted. ;)</p>

<p>WOW... this thread is turning into a crazy-proliferated-illogical room where the party pooopers just roomed in... </p>

<p>But it is interesting nonetheless! :)</p>

<p>BTW, how do you guys do that wink sign? I can only do the ;) sign.</p>
