<p>Hi everyone.</p>

<p>I'm an admissions counselor at the University of Chicago, and I'm here to answer any and all questions you might have. I'll be popping in and out of forums as time allows, but feel free to contact me or anyone else in the admissions office if you have questions.</p>

<p>As you know, the application launched today. If you've inquired to the University of Chicago before (i.e. you've gone on a tour, went to an info session, or returned our search mailing after you took the SAT), you should be receiving one next week. I hope that's how you spell receiving.</p>

<p>Or you can apply online at <a href="http://uncommonapplication.uchicago.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://uncommonapplication.uchicago.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Or you can read the application blog at <a href="http://uncommonapplication07-08.blogspot.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://uncommonapplication07-08.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks for reading. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.</p>

<p>you guys didn't use the essay I submitted.... sniff sniff :-)</p>

<p>Having said that, I can't wait for O-week... from what I hear O'Neill's speech at Rockefeller chapel is consistenly very good...</p>

<p>Now you can tell us if idad is a robot and why you rejected ChicagoNoble last year.</p>

<p>Libby Pearson, what region do you cover?</p>

5

<p>God, a new blog....</p>

<p>Good luck, Libby and kids!</p>

<p>-JA</p>

6

<p>I don't know what region she covered, but I live in Maryland and she was my admission counselor... so prob. some part of the mid-atlantic</p>

7

<p>I didn't cover Maryland. I cover the West Coast and Vancouver.</p>

8

<p>yes.. I just re-checked that. I am very sorry. Lauren was my admissions rep. My mistake...</p>

9

<p>Was I assigned a personal admissions counselor because of my greatness?</p>

10

<p>Yes, you were.</p>

<p>Just kidding, everyone is assigned a regional admissions counselor.</p>

11

<p>Does every school have a regional admissions counselor. I talked to the administration at Stanford and they said they don't have admission counselors seperated by region. Is that true?</p>

12

<p>for Stanford, yes (it says so on their website), but most schools do have a regional officer</p>

13

<p>its probably a good thing... in that manner, things like "I went to a very competitive public HS" can actually be verified more precisely.</p>

<p>Welcome to CC, Libby!</p>

15

<p>Just a reminder to everyone else - please don't pester Libby (or other College Reps) with personalized requests (e.g., a thread titled, "Libby, need important question answered ASAP!"). Please post questions in general terms - that will be more inviting to other CC members and if a College Rep has something relevant to add, he/she may add a comment. Do NOT request or expect "chances" opinions from our College Rep members. Thanks for your cooperation in making the Chicago forum a welcoming and helpful place to exchange ideas!</p>

16

<p>"..welcoming and helpful place to exchange ideas..." much like the University is!!</p>

17

<p>I apologize in advance Roger_Dooley, but pestering is the only thing I am capable of.</p>

<p>I'm afraid you'll have to assassinate me college confidential style.</p>

18

<p>Don't worry Roger, the students in the UofC forum are incredibly polite and mature.</p>

19

<p>not to mention overly sexy</p>

<p>except that one...lol</p>
