University of Chicago Early Action / Early Decision for Fall 2023 Admission

they don’t reject many so you should worry!

Did you apply EA or ED

EA loll

Seems like a lot more ED applications this year

OK yeah so I applied ED1, and I have a “admit.css” under the Network tab. When I go into Sources → ByPath → prospects.uchicago.edu → register. I don’t see admit.css I only see embed.css and embed.js

that might mean acceptance? Because its the opposite for me

Are you confident based on your stats that you will get deferred or rejected?

Since you applied ED1 its not hard to make that assumption

No but I remember reading on last years thread that its a bunch of BS that they just put in I have no idea

well kind of. I mean my rigor was not great, 3.91/4.2, highest weighted in my school is a 4.55. I have a decent sat tho, 1540, and I took a lot of dual enrollment that was not on my high scohol transcript. Although my extracurriculars in my opinion are really good, I screwed up making my EC list for my ED schools (hence the Penn ED CAS rejection).

My essays for UChicago were also really good in my opinion,but whose wasn’t?

true

what prompts did yall choose? im just curious

This is awesome I think you can get in for sure its just all up to essays

I made my own question and wrote a two page essay on chickens. Relying on that to get me in lmaooo

kind of lost hope for an acceptance from my early schools because my Ec list was REALLY bad.like one of my ECs was put as a 2 hr commitment (getting published in the local news).

Also, my first EC was only put for 11, when in reality it was 11/12.

Is it possible to send an updated EC list when deferred?

hahaha nice. i feel like uchicago would like that

I chose the Aliens prompt and connected a philosophical concept to a regional Eastern dish - I think it’s pretty creative?

But for my why Essay It was like an extended metaphor about how I’m a pilot writing in my journal log about visiting UC and how I want to join the “pilot body” because everyone’s an explorer.
