<p>haha, crystal and barbara are cool people. My god, I've called them so much they know me by name.</p>
<p>Did she say they were going out today for sure?</p>
<p>I just got an e-mail from Admissions, one of their newsletter things, telling me that the deadline for replying to the offer of admission is MAY FIRST, saying that I can reply to the offer of admission onto thick envelope .... did anyone else get this? Does this mean I am coded an admitted? What's the deal with May First?!</p>
<p>Weird, just got an email about 'May 1st being the date I have to make my college decision by, and they hope I choose chicago' from UC adminissions. I'm a transfer app. and I haven't even recieved a decision yet....</p>
<p>haha, great timing</p>
<p>I didnt get that.....</p>
<p>Sounds like you kids are in. Congrats!</p>
<p>I don't have access to thickenvelope.uchicago.edu by any means, and that's the Freshman site.</p>
<p>DID ANYONE else just get "The Eleventh Hour" from admissions?</p>
<p>**** **** **** i want those emails.</p>
<p>If it makes you feel better neverborn, as you can read into it whatever you'd like, I am a very strong applicant; a recruited athlete with a 4.0 in both HS and Columbia.</p>
<p>quantifyme: I am a very weak applicant - 3.3 in HS, 28 ACT, 3.42 college.</p>
<p>31 ACT, 3.63 college, i work at NASA. 19 yeras old.</p>
<p>I am nervous as hell, and really scared.</p>
<p>I GOT AN EMAIL TOO</p>
<p>The time is coming, as you must be aware, minute by minute, when you must make your decision about a college. Or perhaps you have made the decision and are waiting until midnight on May 1 to tell us. Do you realize how nervous that makes us all? You probably do....</p>
<p>We thought today about you rushing your forms to the mailbox on May 1, only to discover that the post office that you thought was open until midnight is not, or that the dog has eaten your forms. Or perhaps you are replying to the offer of admission online, at thickenvelope.uchicago.edu, but your computer crashes at the last minute, or the dog has eaten your computer.</p>
<p>Though you may not have thought about these scenarios, or even if you have, this next sentence may sound familiar to you: You have until midnight on May 1, anywhere in the world to reply to our offer of admission.</p>
<p>Students replying online can wait until the sun passes over the International Date Line in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a few miles west of Baker Island. Students replying by paper should have their forms postmarked by May 1.</p>
<p>We do hope that you decide to attend Chicago, and we do wish you well no matter what you decide.</p>
<p>Best,
Ted O'Neill
Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>BBall87: It's obviously a Freshman e-mail. But why didn't danoush get one?</p>
<p>JOHNM, OTHER CHICAGO APPS... DID YOU GETONE?</p>
<p>I just e-mailed Gerald. **** my hands are shaking @*#)%$@&#%</p>
<p>**** im getting ultra nervous.</p>
<p>wat the hell does this mean, i am very confused??? I DID GET ADMITTED LAST YEAR AS A FRESHMAN</p>
<p>it is possible that they accidently sent us the wrong email?</p>
<p>bball87: The real question is why did you, me, and quantify get the e-mail but Danoush DIDN'T?!</p>
<p>Dan, check any spam filters you have.</p>
<p>I think that was a creative way of saying "On behalf of the Admissions Committee at the University of Chicago, I'd like to congratulate you on being accepted to the transfer class of 20**, blah blah blah". CONGRATULATIONS!!!</p>
<p>and i would know, i have no idea, but it would be herendous if chicago rejected any of us after getting that email, absolutely herendous</p>
<p>Brian: Are you a Chicago app?</p>
<p>ARGH I have class in 9 mins and I don't know if internet access is there?!#$%!#*(%</p>
