UChicago Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

Except from the post that @hope1938 shared, posted by @azwu331, “Tomorrow is not the beginning of the end, but rather the end of the beginning. We sent our rockets into space in October; tomorrow we will find out if we landed on the moon or among the stars.”

Snap.

I don’t know what to do with myself for the next 26 or so hours

Also I was embarrassingly far off with my prediction. I thought this thread was going to take off way more as it got closer

Do you guys think I stand a chance with a 3.65 UW and 4.1 weighted? My essays I’ve been told were really good and I have a high ACT score.

You stand a chance, yes, but not an amazing one.

But really what do I know, good luck!

The UChicago Admissions Tumblr ‘decreed’ that today be Totally Chill Thursday haha

"Totally Chill Thursday
In an effort to make sure everyone feels great no matter what decision you get on Friday, we officially decree today to be Totally Chill Thursday: a day in which we post only things meant to make you feel awesome and have nothing to do with college applications. Check out our YouTube playlist and send us your favorite cat gifs, weird art, yummy recipes, funny music videos, or anything that makes you smile via Tumblr, Twitter, or Facebook! ‪#‎TotallyChillThursday‬ ‪#‎UChicago‬

Good luck everyone!

This wait is killing me. By early afternoon do they mean 12-2PM Chicago time (so 1-3PM eastern for us eastern people)?

hopefully! The earlier the better.

Do you think they will give an exact time by tomorrow or just surprise us and drop the decisions?

I talked to the admissions office and they said that they don’t give out exact times because they don’t know if they can keep themselves to it. So I think they might either send them out through out the day and send the bulk out in the afternoon or like they said send them all out in the early afternoon.

Hello everyone I am also applying EA. Personally very nervous for tomorrow, good luck to all.

Reading this thread has provided some relief.

well if its at 5 for us easterners, we have a little over 24 hours to go

I just got a follow request from one of UChicago’s Instagram pages. Maybe that’s a good sign? lmao

Can we get decisions after school, I would hate having to wait until the end of the day! Do you guys get out for break tomorrow?

@Mochis1 wow! Did you like follow them, or like their pictures or something?

shoutout to @hope1938 for posting that thread. Its weird its the last night, I will miss this thread

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow! It’s my last day before winter break, and I’m hoping for some good news to keep me positive throughout the holiday season!

P.S. I’m glad I found this thread (better late than never?), it has calmed down a lot of my nerves for tomorrow…

I am hoping/praying for a miracle. Does anyone know of anyone with GPA 3.4 get in?

I think there’s always a chance @rrhelp especially because of how holistic UChicago is, but I wouldn’t get too excited about it
