<p>Well I'm getting my essays together and I felt the urge to post, there's really no specific question. I think I could do well at so many schools, even my safeties, but U of C seems like the only place that will make me truly happy. It's so exciting to think I have the chance to go here, even if it's just a mediocre one. I guess if any one has any tips on staying sane through this process, I understand the essays are crucial, it would be nice to get your perspective.</p>
<p>you'll most likely be happy wherever you go. it sucks not getting into your first choice, but its certainly not the end of the world. chicago wasnt my first choice and i was pretty bummed i didnt get into mine, but i love it here more than anything else. dont stress too much about it.</p>
<p>Are you applying EA?</p>

<p>By the way, everyone keeps telling me not to stress too much. Well, it's easy for you to say!</p>
<p>fine, stress a lot.</p>
