UChicago EA Applicants 2018

<p>Good job Angelexia :slight_smile: And hopefully you can withdraw and give one more person a chance to get into UChicago.</p>

<p>@angelexia, I told you! Congratulations! It’s really an honor to have spoken to you (through here). I don’t know very many intelligent people if any at all. Good job(:</p>

<p>Hi everyone! I’m very sad (but actually kinda thrilled, not going to lie), that I won’t be attending school with you all next year. I will, however, be about a 45 minutes away in Evanston, because I’m going to be in Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism!</p>

<p>If you want, I can still bring the punch to your closet party. ;)</p>

<p>Congrats @ohhayitsme ! I’m so jealous of you guys… I could never get into those schools so I’m not sure why I believe I can get into Chicago? I got a 26 on my ACT. I’m happy that they don’t only consider test scores but I’m just a pessimist at heart. It’s nice to talk to successful students like you guys.</p>

<p>@ohhay congrats! i’ll miss you too, but i might end up at northwestern if uchicago doesn’t work out, so i might see you around ;0 and you’re welcome in my closet party anytime</p>

<p>@ohhayitsme @angelaxia @impressionistic AHH congratulations guys! I’m so happy for you :)</p>

<p>And @carter001 don’t feel discouraged, I’m sure you’re wonderful in other ways ^__^</p>

<p>Y’ALL ARE WONDERFUL AND AMAZING PPL<br>
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT SIX DAYS, KNOW THAT YOU DESERVE THE BEST IN THE WORLD. But it can only be the best if you make it to be.</p>

<p>I don’t know. My next choice after Chicago is Reed College but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to love it like I love UChicago. I’ll never be happy anywhere! Maybe angelaxia shouldn’t withdrawal her app? If she gets accepted, I’ll just take her spot! That’s what friends are for…</p>

<p>@carter001 Oh, your words warm my heart :slight_smile: It was an honor to talk with all of YOU!
Alas, I withdrew my app already, but have no fear @carter001 you do have a chance!
@ohhayitsme Congratulations!!! I have many friends who call Evanston home, you’ll love it there!!!</p>

<p>@angelaxia
@ohhayitsme</p>

<p>Congratulations both of you guys!! I hope you have so much fun in college.
And for all of us still waiting to hear back from UChicago, good luck! Wednesday can’t come soon enough…</p>

<p>Congratulations</p>

<p>AHHHHH IM SO HAPPY FOR ALL OF
YOU!!! You guys are all talented and smart and will go very far in life. Here’s hoping we will meet somewhere along the paths of our crazy, unknown futures. </p>

<p>@impressionistic is LSE one of your top schools? How do they do finaid?</p>

<p>I’ve been like a pendulum throughout this whole process; at one moment I feel pretty confident that I’ll get in, and the next I feel like there is no way. I just want to know at this point! Gah!</p>

<p>Good job, ohhayitsme</p>

<p>If Chicago doesn’t work out, I’m going to apply to Northwestern, so I might see you there.</p>

<p>@debater i’m gonna do that too, so maybe we’ll see each other :)</p>

<p>Can I just pop in and say you guys definitely have the best ED thread. I’m a Cornell ED’er and I keep coming to read this thread, ours, though 70something pages long, is nowhere near as interesting! Am I right in assuming there are lots of tumblr people here…?</p>

<p>I want you all to go to UChicago because I know you would be perfect but having y’all with me wouldn’t be too bad either.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for all the sweet wishes!! You’re all so sweet. :)</p>

<p>Good job angelaxia, I guess no dollar milkshake for you. Everyone else we have a date to look up to. Going to college is such an exciting process.</p>

<p>I’m more of an instagram-er but tumblr is nice as well. You guys wanna hear a joke? I made it up in government class but no one laughed at the joke, instead they found entertainment in my lack of humor… I needed you guys!</p>

<p>That’s AMAZING ohhayitsme! Congratulations!</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for your kind words. I love this thread and how sweet you all are.</p>

<p>neontissues, I honestly don’t even know where I would put LSE right now because I never expected to get in. It sounds stupid and counter-intuitive but I applied to Cambridge and LSE sort of as a dream, thinking it would be wonderful if I got in and understandable (and likely) if I didn’t. I don’t really know how to process the possibility as a reality. Small town America to central London would definitely be a huge shift, and my offer is conditional upon my AP and IB results that I wouldn’t have until July, so I would <em>really</em> have to think long and hard about all the risks I would be taking. I don’t know how financial aid works because I am blessed enough that it isn’t a factor. I know UK schools aren’t generally good with aid to foreigners, though.</p>
