UChicago EA Applicants 2019

<p>i thought that the email was going to have news regarding decisions… meh. but seeing uchicago in my inbox did make me happy nonetheless</p>

<p>@wethemusicmakers‌ way too many this year alone, haha. in 2014 i saw arctic monkeys twice, bastille twice, the script with onerepublic, the 1975, vampire weekend, and magic man with smallpools.</p>

<p>@Anduar3‌ no shame in loving concerts, it’s a solid hobby haha. I’m jealous haha. </p>

<p>Not gonna lie when I saw the email was from UChicago i panicked for a second thinking it had something to do with my admission decision. </p>

<p>Am I screwed if I haven’t sent any of my financial aid stuff in yet?</p>

<p>Super late … but I submitted my EA app a while back. Parents both worked at Argonne as quantum physics research scientists. Good luck to all for decisions!</p>

<p>@Zwischenzug‌ Have you tried emailing the admissions? </p>

<p>are you guys competing against any other applicants from your school?</p>

<p>haha yeah pretty sure at least 10-15 people applied (massive class size though) </p>

<p>Nooooope :slight_smile: perks of a teeny school</p>

<p>Most of them are applying RD… I think… I hope. There’s probably like 5 that I know of.</p>

<p>…wow. I am so jealous. I’ve been wanting to see vampire weekend FOREVER </p>

<p>@Zwischenzug‌ That is so cool!!! Good luck to you too!</p>

<p>@Awflapjackz‌ I don’t think anyone else from my school applied… At least not that I know of. Actually someone else probably did… there’s like 20 people tied for valedictorian right now so I’m sure another smart kid sent in an app haha</p>

<p>@Awflapjackz‌ I know for sure one other girl from my school applied, but that’s all I know of! Probably more…</p>

<p>@alleycat2 yeah my school has a bunch of Valedictorians too hahaha it’s crazy how many kids are getting perfect grades these days!</p>

<p>hey @Zwischenzug sorry that question wasn’t directed towards you. I’m still sort of new to this site. :">
I actually meant that question for @Ch1746</p>

<p>my class size is very large but i actually don’t know of anyone who even applied/will apply to uchicago…</p>

<p>@wethemusicmakers‌ they sound kind of different live, but in a good, way. i can’t wait for their next album!!</p>

<p>@kateko Yeah it’s pretty insane how competitive some people at my school are… But usually a bunch of people drop down to salutatorian during fourth quarter after they get accepted to schools. Haha when senioritis strikes the motivated. I don’t think I’ll even have motivation to keep getting A’s to be valedictorian at that point lol.</p>

<p>@alleycat2 haha same… I feel </p>

<p>i don’t think anyone from my school has ever attended uchicago, but a year or two ago another school in my district had 2-3 kids go. i think that’s impressive. </p>

<p>less than two weeks left…?</p>

<p>I can only think of one person from my school who’s gone, and she’s currently a senior there (do they say 4th year?)</p>

<p>most people here just go to random in-state universities. the smart people go to university of michigan because of in-state tuition. no one really goes anywhere else… </p>

<p>i feel the need to reread my essays or something but im scared that i’ll find mistakes and get upset hahaha</p>

<p>I found a typo in my “why chicago” essay. My mom and I read it at least four times each and somehow we both missed the fact that I forgot an “I.” I’m just praying the admissions tumblr wasn’t lying when they said not to stress over a single typo. </p>

<p>A lot of people from my school go to the UC’s (university of california, not chicago haha) but a good amount go to Ivy level schools. </p>
