@Dartmouth_21 didn’t you apply ED to UPenn?
never mind! lol accidentally posted that while reading previous pages.
Also do any EA applicants NOT have the withdraw button?!
@dartagnaneb yes i did.
The button doesnt mean anything… don’t worry about it
It really doesn’t mean anything, logically or otherwise. We’re really just stressing. It’s a brain-hormone/alertness thingy.
…more like trying to make sense out of nothing, which really is a trademark of college confidential users. I’m sorry I even started it guys!
Has anyone received anything?
I have not received any news yet. I also applied ED and do not have the button.
uchicago should release decisions by next week, right? Strange they haven’t given a date yet.
$-)
I applied ed and also don’t have the withdraw application button
i think EA people do, in case they already got an ED from a different school. So they can withdraw from UChicago. I think the EDs don’t have the button because they’ve agreed to commit in the case of acceptance. Idk maybe something like that?
@Kepler1z that’s exactly what i think. so withdrawal button doesn’t really matter, i guess.
I emailed my regional admin. Counselor and she said that they’re releasing the date within the next few days
:bz
i really hope these ED applicants withdraw their EA chicago app, i feel like its not fair if they dont. is it automatic?
No, it is not automatic…we have to hope that they will withdraw so as to give others a fair chance. A reason uchicago is delaying releasing decisions is probably due to the fact that it is the only elite school with EA and ED. They have a lot of apps to consider and must admit a good amount through ed (so as to increase yield) but not too many because they have to ensure that the process isn’t overly advantageous for early applicants
u chicago defers most EA applicants into regular so they don’t accidently accept kids that got into ED somewhere else bc it would hurt u chicago’s low stats. deferred means you have a good shot for regular decision. no one is taking anyone else’s spot. if you were on the border they’d just defer you
LOL it’s kind of absurd that we don’t have a decision date yet.
