<p>I'm actually relieved that I wasnt accepted into the ED school my family agreed on. Getting a rejection sucks, but in the end it's giving me the chance to go to UChicago, my first choice! Who else is (secretly) stoked to have gotten rejected?</p>
<p>Haha I don’t need to be relieved because I didn’t apply to any other school early than Uchicago!</p>
<p>I can’t say I’m relieved, but I’m starting to think my ED school was not the best fit for me. I’m not sure if thats just me coping with the rejection or not 
Anyway I’m excited for Monday and whatever will be will be.</p>
<p>I got into my ED school and am beyond ecstatic, but I will forever have a twinge of regret whenever i visit this page or see the name UChicago. Sigh. See you all in four years.</p>
<p>i agree! i was deferred ED and i am glad that i still have a chance to go to chicago!</p>
<p>Pro-tip: if getting into your ED school would make you feel regretful, you shouldn’t have applied ED, plain and simple.</p>
<p>^^^^ agreed</p>
<p>I was on the verge of applying ED to Brown, and now I’m glad I didn’t. I have this UChicago poster in my room that shows the beautiful campus and these luscious green lawns, and I am just like “ahhh, perfection is possible.”</p>

<p>you’ll only be relieved that you didn’t apply to Brown if you get into Chicago…</p>
<p>Until then…</p>
<p>i want chicago so bad. ■■■■. come to meeeeeeeeeee.</p>
<p>Sometimes it’s not really the students choice… Parents are a force of nature.</p>
<p>Where did you all apply ED?</p>
<p>@OxalisWumbo,</p>
<p>I don’t feel regretful at all- but anyone in the situation would undoubtedly ponder “what if?” which I think I have every right to do. Maybe I just wanted closure from Chicago, but I was not going to take that spot away from a deserving student if I got in. Columbia University '16- I’m beyond excited.</p>
<p>Well, I have to admit that I am disappointed and sad of being rejected from going to my ED choice, but I certainly keep my hopes up for Chicago. However, I realized earlier how awesome UChicago is and was at a point in which I wanted to go to both schools with the same intensity. Nevertheless, my ED rejection utterly destroyed my confidence and sense of seing an opportunity to get into a school like UChicago. Let’s just wait and see what happens on Monday (I am looking for a Miracle right here lol). Good luck to all of you guys, and I hope that you all get accepted (you deserve it)! :)</p>
<p>@grinver</p>
<p>which school?</p>
<p>After being deferred from Penn one week ago, it would be really awesome to be accepted to Chicago. It truly is an amazing school! Unfortunately, like many others, my confidence is at an all time low after last week.</p>
<p>It’s interesting seeing the overlap between urban universities now - I really didn’t know anyone applying to both UChicago and Penn not terribly long ago. As far as schools went, they were very, very different (with UPenn having the undeserved “state school ivy” or “gutter ivy” rep, and UChicago having - at the time - a more deserved “where fun comes to die” rep).</p>
<p>Nowadays, overlap between these two schools is probably much more common, and probably makes more sense.</p>
<p>@Cue7 I was a Penn legacy and applied ED and was rejected and I’m hopefully awaiting UChicago’s decision, although my ego is at rock bottom…both schools offer that great “campus in the city” aspect, that’s why I think there’s so much overlap</p>
<p>@trackgirl800, I’m in the exact same boat as you haha. Let’s both hope for an acceptance come Monday :P</p>
