<p>I am sooooo excited. Apparently UChicago called alot of school’s guidance counselors if a bunch of kids from the school were applying to UChicago. So my guidance counselor said that UChicago called about me BUT she wouldn’t tell me what they said!!! Makes me even more nervous to know that she knows but I don’t know -_- </p>

</ul>
<p>^What did UChicago call the guidance counselors for? How do you know they did?</p>
<p>I am also interested in this information. </p>
<p>Btw, the amount of days left can be counted on one hand.</p>
<p>My dad bought 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies yesterday and they’re sort of gone…I feel uber guilty. Those dang Thin Mints and Caramel Delights…</p>
<p>Waitinganxiously:</p>
<p>I would say that that is a very good sign.</p>
<p>They probably called because you are being accepted and they just wanted to verify something in your application, or to make sure you haven’t done anything “bad” lately that might affect your application.</p>
<p>Apparently one of the guidance counselors is friends with someone in the admissions office and so each year the person calls the school to discuss all of the applications from my school (not just mine). </p>
<p>According to my counselor the final decisions hadn’t been made at the time of the call but like hinted to the counselor what the admissions board was leaning toward for each student.</p>
<p>18th birthday for me as well… Hope it’s gonna be a great birthday present! EA deferred, fingers crossed!</p>
<p>though i have stalked the cc posts for the last 4 years (and secretly judged you all), i never felt compelled to post anything or create an account until now… all because i need to despair with the only other people who will understand.</p>
<p>i don’t know what to do with myself until friday. i can’t even function right now. i’ve been trying to do homework all day, but i CAN’T</p>
<p>@cosmicdreamer-I completely understand! I have been literally panicking since I’ve found out about the decision release date 2 weeks ago! I can’t take it anymore, I NEED to know! haha
btw, this is my first CC post ever! wohoo!</p>
<p>I want to eat the marshmallow already D:</p>
<p>Dang, now I wanna know if my school was called since I know of atleast five others who applied. Too bad I’m on spring break!!! And too bad none of my gidance counselors have it in with any colleges : '(</p>
<p>Massive panic. Don’t know how I can endure the next 4 days. I actually want to cry :(</p>
<p>I’m making those marshmallows. That is definite.</p>
<p>The worst part is that in four days, only uchicago’s decisions are released. We have to wait atleast a week for everyone else. That means if bad news comes, there will be nothng to offset it.</p>
<p>Yeah, the waiting is pretty hard. For me the most difficult part is trying to contain my optimism, and remind myself that with around a 9% acceptance rate, less than 1/10 candidates will admitted (out of a very, very qualified pool, need I say)</p>
<p>Hold in there, everyone! You’re almost there! :)</p>
<p>I highly recommend the marshmallows–who doesn’t like marshmallows?!</p>
<p>ONLY 3 MORE DAYS!!! this countdown is at its last major milestone. This is taking an eternity.</p>
<p>Do you guys know where you’d go if you don’t get in? Not to be pessimistic or anything…:(</p>
<p>Mmm I’m pretty nervous. I wrote a pretty terrible essay so I don’t have high hopes. But I still have some hopes.
But no matter what the decision is, at least Hunger Games comes out that day.</p>
<p>I haven’t been accepted/likelied anywhere yet. My state school arizona state university accepts applicants up through may so I have time to pply if I’m not in anywhere… I only applied to places as tough to get into as uchicago ughh lol. </p>
<p>I didn’t like hunger games… so I will be seeing john carter instead.</p>
