Does anyone know what time admissions will be released on Friday?
For the last two early rounds it’s been 4PM Central, so I expect results to come out at 4PM for regular applicants.
That’s 2 AM in my time zone and to make things worse Swarthmore will follow it up with their own decision at 4. Gonna be a looong sleepless night
Do they send results through a portal or by email?
@booknerd22 Through the portal, though they will send out an e-mail notifying you of a portal update a little bit after the actual portal update.
Check your UChicago account around (or shortly before) 4 pm. Don’t wait for any e-mails.
My stomach is already in knots considering the fact that we’re only 2 days away
If we’re being completely honest here, sometimes I read the posts you guys have on here and on other threads and am just left in awe at how much you have accomplished before your lives really begin. I really don’t feel like I belong here sometimes and that I have no chance at Chicago but then I remembered I started this thread lol
^^^^ okay so the rest of what I wrote got cut off lol. But I was saying that when I made this thread I had no idea it would attract so many talented and bright people and it has been an honor getting to know you guys. I don’t expect to be joining you in the class of 2021, but I know I can look forward to seeing you guys in the news, reading your bestsellers, writing down your names on ballots, and I don’t know probably a tons more of crazy things of yours in the future. Thanks everyone for coming here. You’re all extraordinary and insightful and a piece of paper doesn’t define you
@mackyg That was a classy post. Hope you make it. Good luck!
I’ve been thinking more and more lately about this. Can someone chance me for here to calm my nerves?
ACT: 31 SAT: 2030 GPA: 3.4 (at a good private school not too far from Chicago)

I am a pretty good writer and I wrote my essay about how much I love to learn because of what I’ve heard about U of Chicago. What do you think?
@denydenzig thank you and good luck to you as well
@mackyg kudos to you for posting that!
(i totally relate, though. it’s hard reading posts here sometimes because everyone has done so much, but looking at what people have already accomplished in HIGH SCHOOL makes me happy that these are the people who hold the future in their hands.)
ahhh man i’m so nervous!!! good luck everyone!!
making it this far (through high school, standardized test after test, college app stress time, and months of waiting) is a HUGE accomplishment!!! congrats for making it this far and keep in mind that regardless of your decision on friday we’ve all done wonderful things and learned tons on our journey to this moment!
What is the anticipated time on Friday?
4pm central time
WAIT… THIS Friday? Like 3/17???
Yep
What percentage of admitted international students get financial aid?
Wouldn’t that be 0%. I don’t think Chicago is need blind for international students?
