<p>sending applications to other schools. Now I haven’t applied to other schools and am eager to see the result. I hope UChicago will understand how I love her!</p>
<p>apply to northwestern</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Die over and over and over again, until I wake up from my nightmare and die again and go to hell and be burned by the hot fires of Satanic destruction until there is nothing left of me but my sorrow remorse for being rejected.</p>
<p>Or I could just eat some ice cream?!?! :p</p>
<p>But really… i would transfer here, or atleast try.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t cry, but I’d be pretty darn close 
I’d resign myself to going to Caltech. Which is a great school, but I’d prefer the liberal arts curriculum offered at schools like UChicago.
good luck to all! hopefully we’ll meet as Chicago class of 2014.</p>
<p>Say, “Well, ****.” And move on.</p>
<p>Already got rejected from Penn, so it wouldn’t hurt as much…</p>
<p>but I’d get started on all of my other supplementals.</p>
<p>^haha, thankfully i worked for my RD schools with the assumption that i’d get turned down at both columbia and chicago. so i’m mostly done with essays and so on for my 17 other schools.</p>
<p>Ah lucky, I tried to start on my other applications but I found it hard to concentrate the week before decisions came out for Penn…</p>
<p>I’m glad I have winter break for all of this :)</p>
<p>Well, I finished high school in early November (that’s how schools run here in Singapore) so I’m on one long break. Not sure if it’s exactly a help or hindrance though. I can feel my brain stagnating…</p>
<p>Hey guys NW reject here. I was just denied, flat out, and I am pretty devestated. Chicago is pretty much my big hope. I love Chicago and would indeed prefer it over Northwestern. I belive another rejection letter can really be detrimental to my health</p>
<p>If you love Chicago, why would you ED NW?</p>
<p>^Why not? Perhaps he simply liked both schools.</p>
<p>I will move to the countryside, rent a small shack near the forest, and shun the outside world, in similar fashion to J.D. Salinger. After several days I will get quite bored, return to civilization and resolve to apply myself wherever I DO end up going so thhat I can hope to apply as a graduate student and be accepted at that time (because I don’t think UChicago will ever lose its allure for me), in similar fashion to the way Holden Caulfield resolves to do better at the end of “A Catcher In The Rye” (Hopefully I didn’t ruin the ending for you, but if I did I saved you from countless pages of digressions, in similar fashion to this post).</p>
<p>P.S. Is it hypocritical for me to hate Holden for digressing, then digress myself all the time (In case you were wondering, that’s not a serious question.)? At least I tend to get somewhere when I do…although that’s not always true because occasionally I find myself…just kidding!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Well, for what it’s worth, I actually liked Holden. Even if it was hypocrisy up there, what’s really wrong with that? Look around you, modern society is a study in hypocrisy. Turn on certain news channels (<em>cough</em>fox<em>cough</em>) and you’ll see my point. But yes, good luck with the whole JD Salinger thing.</p>
<p>Fox news is the only news!</p>
<p>As much as I hate Fox News, it does not by any means have a monopoly on hypocrisy ;)</p>
<p>Most people in my class hated Holden Caulfield. I felt kind of dumb for identifying with him and his teenage angst, but I identified nonetheless…</p>
<p>Of course, of course. I never said it was the only example. </p>
<p>I found myself identifying with Holden too but I didn’t feel dumb about it.</p>

<p>Goddam that first definition of Catcher in the Rye. That kills me. It really does.</p>
<p>Perhaps dumb was too strong a word. Not really that I felt stupid, but seeing my own feelings in a character who’s so clearly wrong so much didn’t make me feel great :)</p>
