Trying to keep up with all of the questions here!
@greygarvin I have a similar problem. I can only attend if they give me a lot of financial aid
are financial aid decisions also available today?
From the EA posts, when I got deffered, they send you financials right away. But Uchicago is a need based institution, if you are accepted and applied for aid they give you enough to cover your full tuition, less expected family contribution, if this applies. At least that is how it was explained to me. But it could be different for international students. Anyone willing to be on waitlist or gap year?
I don’t quite understand how it works. I mean, I read somewhere that you can agree to go somewhere else, but if you are taken of a wait list you can go back to the other place. Is that right?
I would even take a gap year, actually. I really want to go to UChicago)
I only live an hour and a half away from Chicago in Wisconsin, and I’m very tempted to just drive over and demand my decision…
@anerdfighter You can be on as many waitlists as you want, you can also accept an admission offer from one place but decide to go somewhere else. I know last year they called people from April to May off the waitlist. Then in May they closed the normal waitlist and sent rejections. But a few people were held on the extended waitlist for people who dropped them during the summer.
@homeless2harvard I will sign out of school now and meet you in 3 hours. We can storm the office together…LOL
@pwil7070 So if for example I accept a Harvard admissions offer (lololol), but really want to go to UChicago, and have been put on the UChicago waitlist - in July, if Chicago offers me a place, I can drop out of Harvard and go to Chicago?
@fizzy110 That is correct.
@spiderwoman congrats on Cambridge and Stanford! How do u know your Stanford decision already?
@spiderwoman are you from the uk!! or did you app there as an international? what course/college did you apply for
Guys can anybody pls tell me the exact time the decision comes out? Thanks
@PB1997 , they didn’t release an exact time probably for fear of server overload. EA decisions were released around 5 PM, so it may be then or it may be earlier. Just wait on the email (:
@PB1997, at this point no one knows, all we’ve got is sometime in the “late afternoon”. Speculation is that that’s sometime at, or after 4pm Chicago time (CDT)
@PB1997 the exact time is not known- we are only told that decisions are released late afternoon
If it were up to me, I would release decisions while everyone (most people) is still in school to avoid server overloads etc.
@eloras nope, I’m from the US. I applied as an international and an IB diploma candidate. I got into Trinity to study history. What about you?
@Hersheybar315 Stanford was my SCEA school.
Wish you both good luck today! 
Hey all, (Father of the Stanford thread here lol), not an applicant myself, but I want to wish you all the BEST OF LUCK!! 
You people are all really awesome and it’s been fun following this thread. Lol I am not even waiting for a decision but all of your posts have made me nervous!
Just best of luck to everyone and I will reiterate what you all have been saying: You all are awesome and whether accepted or denied, you all gave it your all and will end up where you were meant to be. College is what you make of it 
(Can’t believe I am still using this wink face. I hate the update) Just no panic attacks guys haha!
It’s 2015, and I think colleges really should make good use of Microsoft Azure/AWS or similar services. They can use a hundred servers for the first hour of decision release, and downgrade to one server after the big overload is gone. The cost will still be low.
