<p>Well, not all of them are Chicago material, rentastrawberry. Remember that Chicago looks at the essay as one of the most important parts of the app. But it does give me the shivers to know this.</p>
<p>Good luck to all those who are applying. Chicago apparently has already sent out decisions for QuestBridge people, so let's hope that it'll be soon for us. </p>
<p>And because we're going through this all together, no matter what happens, I shall love you all.</p>
<p>I'm so scared! I'm definitely bracing myself for the worst so that I don't become as utterly crushed when I find out.</p>
<p>Calenderxgirl, I'm like you. I got deferred from Columbia too... talk about upset. Hah, anyway, I hope UChicago lets us know sometime tomorrow. That would definitely pick up my spirits.</p>
<p>@ab2013: QuestBridge found out almost 2 weeks ago, lol. It is part of the program that they are guaranteed decisions by Dec. 1st.</p>
<p>Hey giantredlobster...</p>
<p>I was trying to build up hope! Gosh...</p>
<p>But I'm definitely bracing for the worst, especially after seeing what happened to the Columbia/Dartmouth/Brown ED people.</p>
<p>Haha, my bad. :)</p>
<p>I always am so matter of fact when I post on CC, lame I know!</p>
<p>Yes, waiting sucks I am tired of it, but in other news today I actually came home and did homework for the first time in at least 2 months, I feel so accomplished.</p>
<p>If that isn't a sign that something is changing, I don't know what is...</p>
<p>Maybe we should call Miss Cleo?!</p>
<p>"Tell me darling, what is it you want to know?" "Ah I see, University is communicatin' poorly witcha now".... "Are you sitting in your kitchen man... good, good! I am seeing something--OH! OH MY?!" *Said in my fake Jamaican accent. </p>
<p>(That was random) haha.</p>
<p>calendarxgirl, I'm just like you; deferred from top choice Columbia and accepted to UMich (safety) in the span of a few hours. Gross.</p>
<p>I. WANT. TO FIND OUT. ABOUT. CHICAGO. NOW. I don't care if i'm rejected, I just want to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>OH YEAH GIANTREDLOBSTER! I'm bobbing my head to rave music while posting a reply on this thread.
Now it's getting hot.
Are we cooking in the same pot?! :O</p>
<p>well its either tomorrow, the next day, the next day or monday! it's all out of our hands now...</p>
<p>"Patience is a virtue, and virtuous people may be the type of people U of C is looking for. If you do not have patience then perhaps U of C is not right for you. If you do not care about virtue, consider, then, that patience is a form or level of maturity."
- Paul on the UChicago blog
OHHH!!! Word!
Bravo bravo~</p>
<p>Many would argue that patience can also become a vice after a certain point ;)</p>
<p>It is quickly becoming one..</p>
<p>I don't have school today due to a massive ice storm (Massachusetts). Therefore, I can keep an eye on my email all day.
This isn't healthy.</p>
<p>I'm using a paper I'm writing about Beowulf to distract myself. I love Beowulf.
On that note, what are you using as distractions? (Or, if you don't feel like answering that one, what are your feelings toward Beowulf?)</p>
<p>I'm interning today, so that helps a little bit. But this afternoon, I'm free, so I will be sitting in front of the computer. :s Running 15 minutes late helps keep you distracted, too.</p>
<p>Ahhh, I hope it's today!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>if it comes today i ll go crazy</p>
<p>^ If it doesn't come today I'll go crazy.</p>
<p>^ Either way, I'll go crazy.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to cry no matter what happens. I have a last period study hall so I'm sitting at a computer refreshing my email inbox again and again...and my rehearsal doesn't start until four so I'll be here for awhile...oh god, I'm going to be SO salty if I have to wait til Monday to find out! I want to know NOW!</p>
<p>I was in the car with my good friend going out to lunch today when her mom called to say a big envelope had arrived from Bucknell. She opened it over the phone and my friend screamed so loudly when she found out she was in. I'm really happy for her but SO jealous.</p>
<p>Aaaaaargh!</p>
<p>One of the comments on the blog says that it will be released next week.</p>
<p>Bizzy Hemphill said:</p>
<p>Hi Stefi,</p>
<p>Rest assured that sometime next week, you will receive an e-mail notifying you that your decision is ready, and that you can check it on your UChicago account.</p>
<p>=/
Surely it will at least be Monday? Why does my exam week have to be even more stressful?</p>
