<p>I don’t know if they’re the brightest; I scored a 22 on the ACT and I wasn’t even rejected. 
Then again, test scores do not gauge intelligence…so maybe you’re right. :)</p>
<p>Accepted! :]</p>
<p>Still no response… should I be concerned??? I mean I’ve been getting emails from them and stuff, and I’m pretty sure I got one saying my app was complete…</p>
<p>click the update button! Hopefully you can play with the bubbles as well</p>
<p>@skittlescutie: I too was rejected from my ED school and deferred from UChicago. Not screwed for RD apps, per se, but I would be much better off if I were accepted somewhere already!</p>
<p>deferred…4.00 gpa and 2300 sat
i straight-up want to die</p>
<p>@Christy12 good luck to us! i really hope everything works out RD round. UChicago, i will show you how really amazing i am!!! ;P</p>
<p>Accepted! AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! :D</p>
<p>Did anyone else get a merit scholarship?</p>
<p>The additional letter was so touching; I felt like I was getting a love letter~
I haven’t visited yet, but I have such a strong emotional attachment to UChicago and hope I do get to meet many of you next year!</p>
<p>What additional letter? They already made merit scholarship decisions?</p>
<p>Did the merit scholarship thingy come in your official packet? I didn’t get my official packet. But I live in the Chicago area, so hopefully I get it tomorrow.</p>
<p>I doubt I’ll get any merit thingies, because I’m shocked just to be accepted, but still I want that packet.</p>
<p>It’s supposed to be in your UChicago account, where your decision letter and financial aid letter are.</p>
<p>They did say they would be reviewing more applications for merit scholarships up until April. I’m equally shocked; I initially expected a deferral! I’m from NJ, so it’ll be a couple more days until I receive my package, but I’m so excited!</p>
<p>Accepted from Maryland! So excited :)</p>

<p>17% of EA applicants were accepted this year.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind me asking, little penguin, how much merit aid did you get? I am trying to gauge my likely merit aid</p>
<p>I received 5k per year, which isn’t much, but it’s still something.</p>
<p>Yeah that would definitely help a bit, thanks</p>
<p>@littlepenguin, I got merit too ($5K), although I haven’t gotten the acceptance package yet … it says “University Scholar Award” on my financial aid letter. Looking forward to the official letter.</p>
<p>Congrats, cloudless :3 Go on your UChicago account. They should have a separate letter about the University Scholar Award.</p>
<p>Found it! Aw, the letter is really nice. Congrats to you too, littlepenguin!</p>
