<p>Can you check on my engineering app while you're at it? heheh</p>
<p>We should hire private detectives to go and spy on our schools' admissions offices. lol</p>
<p>Its now nearly 7 PM. do you think he forgot to update....?</p>
<p>um, i am not really taking anyone's coments to be the absolute truth anymore......</p>
<p><em>Waits patiently for the promised update</em> I'm staying up all night anyways, might as well check on it periodically!</p>
<p>Hmm 12...its getting late. I wouldn't mind tomorrow morning at 8...</p>
<p>um....everything that chicago says doesn't seem to ever be true....i am truly amazed what goes on w. transfer admissions w. these schools, they treat like second-class ppl, this would never happen w. freshman admissions, and they know it</p>
<p>if they say notification is Dec 15 for EA for freshmen, it happens, and trust me, this stuff wouldn't be tolerated</p>
<p>i feel bad that the poor guy's daughter got chicken pox, but honestly, do u think thats really why we haven't heard yet</p>
<p>in addition, i got admitted last year, wat a way to treat a former accepted student.....</p>
<p>u guys can be like omg, its so nice for them to be communicating with us on the transfer blog, however, its more u guys communicating w. each other than them, as u see, for every 10 posts made by a student on there, u might get 1 post by someone in that admissions office</p>
<p>i told this whole thing to my advisor (who happens to be a director of a subject at an ivy league), and she was totally surprised, how they can be running late like this and saying that their having small problems, bits here and there...</p>
<p>w.e., at least that's off my chest for the day</p>
<p>In general, I agree with you bball87. This kind of thing would not be tolerated for freshman admissions.</p>
<p>Chicago is starting to give me the impression that they are running less efficiently than my local McDonalds. It's lowered my image of them a bit. (It's not so much late decisions, but it's the idea of having their words contradict their actions that bugs me.)</p>
<p>I would actually complain directly to them (I don't care if it hurts my chances. I don't think we should look at admissions offices as dictorial regimes, ready to behead us for speaking our minds!). But for some reason, they waived my application fee, so I don't feel like I have much of a right since I'm not a "paying customer."</p>
<p>"for some reason"...don't you have to apply for that or did they allready know you and wanted to apply?</p>

<p>That is actually an error. You are supposed to pay despite what it says on the application status page.</p>
<p>OFancy,</p>
<p>No, I didn't apply for it (they just cancelled my check). I think it might be a hint that they are going to accept me. My application was pretty strong and nontraditional, and I'm sure it stood out. (I don't mean that to brag... It's just a fact. How many high school drop-outs do you think confidently apply to Chicago? :))</p>
<p>BUT, of course they may have waived my fee just by mistake! For that reason I don't want to ask them about it. I'd rather just hold onto my $60 bucks. LOL</p>
<p>Nspeds,</p>
<p>But I did pay. They just declined to cash my check. And on the credentials they listed my check number and next to it wrote "App fee paid/App fee waived"</p>
<p>I see.</p>
<p>Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Oh well. Good luck : )!</p>
<p>Did anyone else get the "app fee paid/app fee waived" credential for a check included with your paper application?</p>
<p>Good luck to you as well, nspeds!</p>
<p>And good luck to everyone else, while I'm at it!</p>
<p>Thanks johnM.</p>
<p>I am not sure I want the luck; many other applicants, such as you, need a UChicago acceptance more than I do. I suppose I am just asking for a luxury. </p>
<p>All the best.</p>
<p>nspeds: are you applying to UChicago? were you not accepted and are attending Georgetown right now?</p>
<p>I applied RD. I never applied before. </p>
<p>I like the idea of hardcore intellectualism. The image of a young student studying at 4am with beads of sweat running down his/her head is attractive to me : )</p>
<p>If I may, I think you would make a good Chicago student.
I am also applying to Georgetown and though they are very different schools, I think I would have a tough time deciding between the two.</p>
<p>that is more than we wanted to know :)</p>
