UCHICAGO RD CLASS OF 2019

@fizzy110 Good! It’s great when we’re all happy. :slight_smile:

WE ALL JUST NEED TO REMEMBER THAT WHATEVER HAPPENS TOMORROW, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY!!

I’m starting to get stressed, too…can’t believe decisions are tomorrow! Sorry if I missed this, but are decisions coming out at 4 PM EST? Or do we not know an exact time?

@Marisa58‌ I usually get really frustrated before getting any kind of results, but then if they’re good, the relief is just so out of this world…

I’m surprisingly calm, I’m not even thinking about the decisions tomorrow since they’ve already been made. All we can do now is wait :/.

Side note: is anyone else watching the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

@calliemoon11 I believe closer to 5 pm CST so approx. 24 1/2 hours from now. I just know everytime an email notification hits my phone tomorrow my stomach will drop.

Also, I think this is a big thing for a lot of people, maybe not, but it’s certainly something that’s causing me quite a lot of anxiety: many don’t realize you don’t have to tell anyone your admissions decision, whether good or bad. It’s personal. Sure of course your parents will know, but in no way should you feel obliged to disclose your rejection to other peers if you don’t feel like telling. Just shrug it off and say you’re looking at other options.

If you don’t care about people knowing, I envy you, it’s an amazing thing to be able to take rejection in stride/so graciously.

BUT HEY MAYBE WE’LL ALL GET IN SO I REALLY SHOULDN’T BE THINKING ABOUT THAT YET

@fizzy110 Rejection is nothing to be embarassed about, if you gave it your best shot. If Uchicago tells me no than that just means they didn’t think that I was what they were looking for. It will hurt for a minute, okay maybe a day, but this would be my first rejection. I have applied and been accepted to some amazing schools with some amazing scholarships. While UChicago is my dream, I only applied at schools I know I would be happy to attend. If I get rejected I will think of it as their loss, because I am amazing…just like everyone else on here!!!

@pwil7070‌ Thank you! :slight_smile:

@pwil7070 I 100% agree with that. But I have many friends where the prospect of sharing that rejection is causing them significant stress, and like you said it shouldn’t, as It’s not something to be ashamed of. Unfortunately however, that’s just the reality of it for many people around me. I just wanted to emphasize that it’s not something that you should feel obliged to share if you don’t want to! Especially if you feel like the environment you’re in will be unsupportive of you when you’re dealing with something like this.

YALL, I am so nervous. Deferred applicant here like basically everyone else who applied EA. I’m not expecting much and won’t be too crushed if I get a rejection… it’s what I expect after seeing the stats of some of the other deferred people. But hey if I get in I will probably have the mental breakdown I’ve been waiting for bc I’m not feeling good about any of the colleges I applied to besides my safety. I’m just glad notification season is finally here for me.

24 HOURS LEFT

Hi everyone! I am a deferred applicant too. I just want to wish you all good luck for tomorrow. Now I can say that I truly understand the meaning of a quote my mom always says to me: Always expect the worst, but hope for the best. This waiting is practically killing me… Especially because it is already March 13 here in Romania, so I will probably get the answers on March 14 due to the time difference.

@fizzy110 I know a few people like that and I feel so horrible for them. My school set up a crisis hotline for the remaining of this month for this purpose. Thank goodness that this is the last decision I am waiting for!

@geoarts Maybe “pie day” will have better luck for you than Friday the 13th. :-?

@Anduar3 I am! I’m ten episodes in and loving it. It’s filled the 30 Rock-shaped hole in my heart, that’s for sure. Even if the college stuff doesn’t go so well for me, I can take solace in the fact that there’s so much fantastic stuff to watch this spring.

@ammo96 I always want to know right away how I did, even if it’s a bad score. So the waiting is definitely difficult, but yeah, there will be a lot of relief if all goes well.

Is anyone a little skeptical about the eeriness of a college admissions decision being released on Friday the 13th…? #VerySuperstitious

Hello guys!! I’m an international applicant from Pakistan. @pwil7070‌ I’m also getting my decision on “pie day”. 3 am. I’m hoping that I’ll wake up my parents for the good news tomorrow. Got deferred from Yale in early action.

@homeless2harvard @minastirith I am hoping that Friday 13th turns out to be the best day of my life, so far anyways. Feb. 13 I received one of my other acceptances with a huge scholarship so I am hoping this one brings the same. But if not then I will be okay.

r u guys filming reaction videos when you view your decisions?
