<p>One more day… Oh geez. Someone in my chem class made me promise that if I get in, I’ll buy everyone in the class ice cream. I agreed. </p>
<p>@Adamb15, the thing on Sunday was a leak of the first episode. It’s not official. They are officially premiering the first TWO online on Saturday (hopefully in HD, the leak was so so quality).</p>
<p>What happens is they send you an email (I got mine @ 4:28 eastern) that says “Your application decision is ready.” You have to click on a provided link and log into your portal/account. As soon as you open it, the confetti is there - it actually took a second for mine to load (because it’s flash animation), so I was kinda freaking out that something went wrong.</p>
<p>Also, the first sentence of the letter is literally just “Congratulations!”, so it’s a lightning rod either way. </p>
<p>By my count, it’s 22 hours, 39 minutes 'til D-Day (Decision Day). GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!</p>
<p>I thought I wouldn’t get that nervous because I was deferred early, so I’d already hyped myself up and then been really sad about it, but I find myself getting just as anxious…</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone on here! I hope you all see that confetti in your accounts tomorrow!</p>
<p>What’s the point of deferring when most will be rejected anyway? I personally think that I should have been rejected right at the start…and now I’m sitting here, typing on this thread.</p>
<p>UChicago is the only school that I applied to (where I haven’t been accepted yet) that calls me by my ‘perferred’ name. Does yours do too? I think that it makes the process seem more personal and real, but at the same time it’s getting my hopes up too high! I can’t stop stalking all things UChicago…</p>
<p>Thank goodness I have Hunger Games to get my mind off of it. The wait is horrible and my mom is gettimg really annoyed bc I keep spouting off UChicago quirks and facts and things. I just want the decision already!</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as a lot of you… I was deferred EA and the wait has been terrible… just put me out of my misery all ready!! Wait, no, I actually want to be accepted </p>
<p>It’s weird. I know that I will most probably be rejected, but I can’t accept that. I still have this optimism and hope that they saw something so unique in me that they will accept me</p>
<p>Merp… I am terrified that I’m going to get my heart broken tomorrow. This is like knowing that your boyfriend/girlfriend is going to break up with you.</p>
<p>I’ll bet none of you have been as bad as me. I have been literally crying, I am so nervous. Visited UChicago this summer. It is such a BEAUTIFUL campus. The tour guide/students in general seemed full of personality and quirks. I can definitely see myself growing as an individual and scholar there! Oh if only UChicago would see the same thing, too!!!</p>
<p>That’s exactly how I’m feeling right now: I’m probably going to be rejected, but I still have a feeling that I’m going to be accepted!! The wait is literally torturing me, I don’t know how I’m going to spend my time today !!</p>
<p>A bit of contact. I probably emailed my admissions counselor ten or so times (for relevant reasons). I heard that UChicago makes a note in your admissions file whenever you contact them; it shows how committed you are… I guess? It may just be a rumor. OMG. I am about to go crazy!! Okay a 99.9% chance of rejection, but I AM hanging on to that 0.01%!!!</p>
