Isnt it 4 in Chicago atm?
Ok so I have been obsessing all day and now I am not sure that I want to even look anymore
Nope, 3PM
@house17 3 pm, they are one hour behind EST!
What space are y’all talking about? My portal doesn’t look any different.
All my FA material was processed but that’s because I was on my game extremely early. I don’t know what it means to have material still processing on admission day…
3:07 Chicago time right now.
I’m sitting in chemistry class…except I’m not thinking about ionic bonds. I’m thinking about my bond with UChicago, which is much stronger.
Ohh I see. International here so like… yeah :x
@leannatorres I’m not sure about the structure but I used FERPA to look at my admissions file (I’m a student) and UChicago rates each applicant 1-5 Academically, A-F Personally, and there is some metric they use on Intellectualness. I got X for intellectualness and I don’t know what the other values are. Now you know how they rank people.
Wrong emoticon lol
@decorum 10/10.
Decisions are supposedly at 5 EST. So in an hour.
**Waiting… **
I’m currently tucked in bed XD
@leannatorres
Here’s what I found on the APPLY page:
At UChicago, you are more than your GPA or test score.
The Office of College Admissions reviews each application on a holistic basis — a complicated name for a very simple concept. The admissions committee considers a candidate’s entire application—academic and extracurricular records, essays, letters of recommendation, and SAT or ACT scores — in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of a student’s qualifications and potential. So take this opportunity to reflect on your strengths, your weaknesses, where you have been, and where you want to go. A holistic reading process should empower you to be yourself!
What does this mean for you?
There is no minimum GPA or test score.
No course load is mandatory, but a standard college prep program is recommended.
Every high school is different. Regional counselors with specific knowledge of their territory read all applications first.
Applications are reviewed multiple times and presented to an admissions committee.
There is not one quality that can determine the strength of an application.
We look for bright students with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and passion for learning. Show us how you maximized your high school experience and pursued opportunities to develop unique talents.
We want you to thrive at UChicago. Tell us who you are—in your own voice—not what you think we want to hear.
This year, interested students have the option of getting started on their UChicago supplements early.
Same here
anyone else noticed that the box for application withdrawn disappeared? (just hope this is a sign that the decisions will come soon)
When will this hell end.
@arabm2 same here XD
My hands are shaking and I can’t think of anything else than the results!!! Rejected or whatever, please no more waiting. This is painful…
