<p>whoa, really? i feel like that’s extremely early</p>
<p>Some Ivys are on monday , December 15</p>
<p>I bet decisions are out on the 18th.</p>
<p>im betting the 19th</p>
<p>I’m a NMSF and I have no clue why you’re asking! Care to share?</p>
<p>If it’s the 20th I will either have the best or worst birthday of my life.</p>
<p>I think NMSF’s got a letter in the mail congratulating them on their accomplishment and promising a minimum of $4k a year if accepted. At least I did. I don’t think it really means anything in terms of admission chances.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got that letter today. It definitely made me a bit more confident, but I’m not sure how much it actually means admissions-wise…</p>
<p>Do you know if it was just NMSF’s that applied to UChicago? One of my friends is a NMSF and didn’t apply, so I think I’ll ask him, but I’m definitely curious.</p>
<p>I highly doubt it matters in admissions. Of all schools to place high value on NMSF, UChicago would be the last to do so. They are perhaps the most holistic elite school.</p>
<p>I’m betting on the 17th. Last year they released decisions on the 18th which was Wednesday of the third week, right in the middle of December, and this year that’s the 17th. It’s all speculation, though, and I think RD results were released on a Friday. All they’ve said is that they’ll be out by the third week, right?</p>
<p>the anticipation keeps growing</p>
<p>@Awflapjackz </p>
<p>I knowwwww, this is so hard. Isn’t it crazy to think that they might have already evaluated your application? </p>
<p>I’m just kind of oscillating between resignation and apprehension hourly at this point and it’s exhausting haha</p>
<p>As time passes, I further convince myself I haven’t gotten in… I guess then I’ll either be comforted by the fact that I was right, or ecstatic that I was wrong! Haha</p>
<p>Yeah, I feel you @kateko, but I’ll also catch myself being hopeful. </p>
<p>@ogacihcu i definitely think about that a lot like i could have unknowingly been rejected two weeks ago for all i know and yet i am still clinging to some kind of hope</p>
<p>@Awflapjackz Exactly!!! It’s awful. I also think about really irrational things like how much better it would be if I could have just applied 10 years ago when acceptance rates weren’t so low and choosing a school was more about where you fit in and less about where you get in, you know?</p>
<p>@ogacihcu hahaha i wouldn’t really worry about that! what’s done is done, and if you’re a good fit for the school then you’ll at least be deferred. i don’t think it’s as cutthroat as it seems despite the extreme decrease in acceptance rate recently.</p>
<p>ah i just need a date of when decisions come out! it will be a source of anxiety but somewhat comforting in a way. i’ll be putting a countdown on my phone asap</p>
<p>It’s nice to know that there are others out there just as obsessed and anxious as I am. </p>
