<p>No, you don't know me, and I am not in that program. I am homeschooled, so I can't. I live in Chicago, though, so I know a bit about it. </p>
<p>I do know a few people who are in it, though. They have taken courses at the U. of C. during the schoolyear, and I have heard that it helps one gain admission to the U. of C. </p>
<p>I get around the system by "onofficially" auditing a course. It works for me. </p>
<p>Will you be attending the U. of C., by the way?</p>
<p>yup, i will be attending the U of C. hope to see u there?</p>
<p>I'll be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Here's what I do in my free time: write essays on hot-button political topics, read Human Rights Watch reports, watch C-SPAN, go to the observatory free nights, teach my dog commands in foreign languages, go to the natural history museum. Really, is there anywhere else I should be?</p></li>
<li><p>I'm all about intellectual diversity. I'm a liberal in the social sciences, but I love considering other points of view; so the fact that Chicago had a good mix of conservative faculty in my fields of study is a big plus. It's not something you see everywhere.</p></li>
<li><p>The opportunities for faculty-student collaboration in my field are incredible!!!</p></li>
<li><p>They offer a really great program combining health, medicine, philosophy, and the social sciences. I'm really interested in the impact reproductive rights and family planning have on developing economies. Perfect!</p></li>
<li><p>The "Big Problems" course program.</p></li>
<li><p>The dual grad/undergrad degree program in the social sciences.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Of course I will be there!!!!!!</p>
<p>because of all the reasons in here...=)</p>
<p>I'm one of those meanings.</p>
<p>Of course, my decision was solely based on the fact that Esquared will be attending. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ditto.</p>
<p>esquared you better get that rape whistle handy.</p>
<p>I do not need the whistle, I have a girlish scream that can be heard for miles.</p>
<p>I live in Chicago, so it was almost for sure that I had to apply to both UChicago and Northwestern. Then, it just depended on where I got in, and money.</p>
<p>Although I am really enthused about the people going there. Everyone on here seems awesome.</p>
<p>Nope, it's not city, nor buildings, nor Hyde Park, nor White Sox: it is academics !!!</p>
<p>Right on, Rabban. But I'd say the attitude towards the academics matters just as much. And the campus is beautiful. OK, forget it, I love everything about the darned place.</p>
<p>Except I don't really care too much about baseball.</p>
<p>the more i read the more i can't wait for fall..=)</p>
<p>"Nope, it's not city, nor buildings, nor Hyde Park, nor White Sox: it is academics !!!"</p>
<p>I have got to say that the ambience of schools is a big part of the decision for me. I was considering a another college with top mathematics and classics departments, but, after I visited and realized that the students were not very academically-oriented and I didn't like the modern-ish architecture, I applied only to appease my mother so I would have a backup school.</p>
<p>Hyde Park has a very quirky but lovely and almost charming thing about it. I live there, and it is like I leave the bubble when I leave Hyde Park. You will see what I mean when you start here in the fall. </p>
<p>Of course, the academics here are incredible, but I also think the neighborhood and architecture play a major role - for me at least. I am very comfortable here, and a "good fit" is a major factor in choosing the right college.</p>

<p>I still can't get my cnet ID , anyone else having this problem?</p>
<p>I am, but I havent been accepted, or rejected, yet. </p>
<p>Just wanted to say thanks to prblms4loki for that link.</p>
<p>Hmm. . . This might sound dumb, but are you typing in your birth date correctly? Believe it or not, I couldn't log in three times because of that - even though I swore I was typing correctly. </p>
<p>Everyone else seems to have gotten his, so I am assuming that you should be able to log in, too. Or, you can e-mail your admissions counselor and ask for help.</p>
