UChicago EA Applicants 2018

<p>I also applied to Georgetown (hello again, neontissues), whose decision I am also nervously awaiting at the moment (and they use snail mail!). Georgetown is my number one but I think I would be very happy at UChicago. Disregarding safeties, I am also applying to Stanford, Yale, and Northwestern even if I get into either UChicago or Georgetown this month, and if not probably also WashU and possibly Vanderbilt and Penn. I also applied to Cambridge and LSE in England.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m indecisive and tired of college apps. What about the rest of you? :)</p>

<p>yet another reason to love uchicago (as if I needed one more) :D</p>

<p>and it was kinda awkward today in class we watched the freakonomics documentary and when it cut to Levitt, people were like “is he sitting in buckingham palace?”. i was like “no, that’s uchicago, isn’t it beautiful?” and everybody went 0-o at me.</p>

<p>Although, free weekly milkshakes might sway me…</p>

<p>SUCH A FREAK FOR FREAKONOMICS!!!</p>

<p>@impressionistic, arghhh i really wanted to apply to LSE and cambridge, but then i found out cambridge’s deadline was oct 15 and i was SO. DEVASTATED. stoopid me. </p>

<p>i also realize now that moving to a new city for college is already exciting enough as it is; settling down in a new country would be too overwhelming for me (not to mention expensive). i swear though, i WILL visit and live in the UK sometime in my life. such a fangirl of everything brit…</p>

<p>At least Uchicago has awesome study abroad programs, including England!</p>

<p>Yeah, it sounds amazing but when I think about the logistics of it I think I would be terrified, especially moving to London! Who knows though, I’ll see how it plays out. I really want to do study abroad in so many places, and the one thing I dislike is Georgetown would expect me to study in a Spanish-speaking country because (SFS applicant) my target language would be Spanish. I seriously just want to take 6 months off and go tour all of Britain. I’m a history nut but I especially love British history and the castles and architecture is so gorgeous. Gah. Maybe I’ll manage to get a job in the UK post-graduation…that would be amazing.</p>

<p>history nut high five!</p>

<p>neontissues, was it you who asked earlier if anyone likes Joss Whedon? Because I’m starting to think we’re the same person…haha.</p>

<p>And ironchariot, I also love Freakonomics (totally need to reread it and Superfreakonomics sometime)! I really love the little community of hopefuls we have here. :)</p>

<p>i’m glad people get me and my nerdy interests :slight_smile: seconding the community love! <3</p>

<p>@impressionistic yeaaaa i asked that. i lurrrrv much ado about nothing and buffy and the avengers and agents of shield ermahgerd </p>

<p>yea i think we’re the same person. except you’re somewhat (a lot) more academically accomplished than me. heh heh</p>

<p>don’t tell me you’re asian too…</p>

<p>Nope, Caucasian here! And I’m sure you’re also quite academically accomplished. :)</p>

<p>And finally, someone who appreciates Agents of SHIELD! It’s taken so much hate for not being good enough and I don’t get it. And Avengers. Love it so much. Anything Marvel. Especially Tom Hiddleston. Yum. I haven’t watched Buffy yet because I don’t want to rush through it binge-watching, I want to take my time and appreciate it. It’s definitely high on my to-watch list, though (just as soon as I get caught up on Doctor Who!)</p>

<p>TOM HIDDLESTON TOM HIDDLESTON TOM HIDDLESTON</p>

<p>I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER TOM HIDDLESTON LOVER. </p>

<p>do you binge watch youtube videos of him like me? have you seen him on chatty man…dancing like sin… <em>sigh</em> he’s also pretty great on korean SNL</p>

<p>also, i only watched 3 seasons of buffy because (not really a huge spoiler) the buffy/angel thing just DIED and i was so disappointed. i LIVE for epic TV/movie/book romances and that couple just made me way too sad for what chemistry they had. </p>

<p>agents of shield is like getting to watch a marvel superhero movie every week, except with so much clark gregg awesomeness that i just about explode. </p>

<p>“i am loki of asgard…and i am burdened with glorious purpose. SAY MY NAAAAAAAAME”</p>

<p>Im nervous now. Even if by any chance i do get accepted. Idk if im going to fit in especially with u guys lol. Im kinda like Elle from legally blonde. (Except im not blonde lol). im book smart but socially im an airhead. I cannot have these smart conversations lol i wrote about fairies in my essay. …</p>

<p>YES YES YES YES YES
HIS DANCING THOUGH
CAN YOU IMAGINE HIM IN A DANCE-OFF WITH BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
and the Korean SNL
the little “turn away from the door and smile” thing just about killed me
and his IMPRESSIONS (heh, get it?), have you seen his “Owen Wilson as Loki”?
The past three weeks my Tumblr is pretty much all Tom and I regret nothing, that beautiful perfect human being.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure he broke Comic-Con last year with the “SAY MY NAAAAAAME” appearance. Shattered. To bits. Like my heart. God, I love that man.</p>

<p>Hmmm, <em>awkwardly clears throat</em>…so how about that UChicago…</p>

<p>I have noo idea what you guys are talking about…hmmm awkward. (Thinks of a slighty smart show that I slighty know about lol) sooo Big Bang Theory anyone?!? Lol</p>

<p>I’m frantically adding more schools to my list since I fear I won’t get in.</p>

<p>I DON’T KNOW WHAT I LOVE MORE: UCHICAGO OR TOM HIDDLESTON?!?!</p>

<p>if i had to choose between the two i think i’d cry. </p>

<p>i love tom’s chris evans impression! plus his random drifting into speaking french and singing musicals makes me die. many times over. </p>

<p>everyone should listen to him talk about compassion. i partly based my uchicago favorites essay on it! [Tom</a> Hiddleston - Adventures in Compassion (in the Screen Trade) - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
