<p>Haven't really seen any discussion threads this year, so I decided to copy last year's. This is a place for everyone to freak out as we endure the unbearable 30+ days until decisions are released. </p>
<p>hello! international applicant here 
good luck to everyonee</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! Is there a specific date we find out on December? </p>
<p>@awh671 They still haven’t released a date and their website says mid-December… But last year decisions were released on December 16th! </p>
<p>Hey guys, EA applicant here from NY. Hopefully the extended deadline doesn’t push the decision day back. </p>
<p>I hope it doesn’t too. Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>@awh671 Wait decisions last year were December 18th! Haha sorry about that! If any of you guys want to torture yourselves, here is lat year’s thread right around when decisions were coming out: <a href=“UChicago EA Applicants 2018 - #1636 by crazychic - University of Chicago - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1577074-uchicago-ea-applicants-2018-p110.html</a></p>
<p>Well it looks I’ll be receiving an admissions decision a couple of days before or on my birthday. </p>
<p>@awh671 Haha then an acceptance would be just about the best present ever!
Btw, I am an EA applicant from Nevada.</p>
<p>Yeah, it would be the best present ever! I don’t know I’m just so worried and anxious. I’m from Nebraska btw.</p>
<p>I’m an EA applicant from CA! I just retook the SAT, so right now I’m just crossing my fingers, hoping that I improved my score. I’ll worry about the actual admissions decision later. Haha </p>
<p>EA applicant from Michigan! I’m really nervous and feel like I’m only going to be deferred, but I’m trying to keep the hope alive, haha.</p>
<p>Even if decisions are pushed back a little, it still won’t be long until we find out.</p>
<p>Hi! I just had a quick question! I’m applying regular decision, but I was curious if anybody knows how long the shorter essay questions are supposed to be! I tried to keep mine around 200 words, but I wasn’t sure if that’s right. If anyone has suggestions, that’d be great! Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>@Stargazer25 since it says 1-2 paragraphs, I did about half a page for mine 
200 words sounds perfect!</p>
<p>@alleycat2 thank you so much!! :)</p>
