<p>@zzzmmm thanks!</p>
<p>@wethemusicmakers nevermind, it was in my spam folder! duh. :b</p>
<p>How does one “Google hangout”?</p>
<p>@naaattt Check your email, follow the link that says “we’re looking forward to chatting with you,” and then I guess just wait for 6 central time! It’ll appear on the page</p>
<p>I feel like at this point its safe to discuss our essay topics. For those who haven’t shared yet, what did you do yours on?</p>
<p>@zzzmmm That’s so nice! Best of luck to your son, and thank you!</p>
<p>@zzzmmm thanks so much for the insight. hoping that your son gets an acceptance!</p>
<p>@Localdreamer15 we could exchange essays if you’d like some feedback or something (-:</p>
<p>I took a chance and wrote my essay about the concept of time and what it means to me and what I do with my time. Idk it was kind of out there and really philosophical. My common app essay was pretty solid I think and I wrote about all the obstacles I’ve faced this year(personally and academically) and about my culture. </p>
<p>@Awflapjackz I think its too late for feedback :-/ but I’ll swap with you if you’re bored enough to read haha! </p>
<p>I kind of regret my essay. My Common App was pretty philosophical, but my Chicago one was about ice cream D:</p>
<p>@awh671 …i also wrote about time 
so much for uniqueness! JK though…I took what sounds like a very different approach. I posed the question “Where did the time go?” Give us your own “Brief History of Time.”, personified time and basically said he’s living on the island of papua new guinea and gave the history him and why he’s now there. So it had absolutely nothing to do with me…hopefully that doesnt hurt me too much.</p>
<p>@chickenmcnugget I’m sure it’s fine. If you wrote a solid and interesting essay about ice cream, I’m betting UChicago will love it. :)</p>
<p>@Localdreamer15 your question and response sound great! haha, obviously feedback won’t help now. but it can be reassuring, no?</p>
<p>@Awflapjackz True true, I shall send it:D</p>
<p>An EA Decision date question has been asked on tonight’s Uchicago Google Hangout, possible official answer incoming!!</p>
<p>@JustinTheory wait i thought it hasn’t started yet?</p>
<p>@wethemusicmakers, Correct. It hasn’t actually started yet, but you can still log on and ask questions that will be there once it begins.</p>
<p>i got an international student financial aid notification email from Uchi few hours ago… they suggest me to apply for aid if I cannot pay for 4 years’ tuition…Well nothing relates to admission decision tho. So I guess i have to keep waiting</p>
<p>@JustinTheory Oh right, thanks! I’m not familiar with Google + haha. Gosh I hope they answer that question. </p>
<p>@wethemusicmakers. No problem! I hope they answer it as well…</p>
