UChicago (2022-2023)

[warped river]

this would be one of the latest dates theyve released right?

in the past couple of years

[teal mauve]

I’m sure there are besties who have tracked this for years but I only have 2 dates for Ed I

Those being the 17th and 21st

[frigid galleon]

carly 🥺 can you remove inky from the thread 👉👈 please

[teal mauve]

Idk how

[warped river]

yeah then we’re probably going to be later than that

[frigid galleon]

late december is the new mid-december ❤️

[warped river]

aka there were probably a ton of applications or uchicago is procrastinating

[frigid galleon]

oh

oh wait you're on mobile

[warped river]

scu got 10k ea and ed applications this year 💀 crazy

[frigid galleon]

carly can i be mod i need to remove inky from the thread

[frigid galleon]

SCU?

[warped river]

yeah santa clara university

[amber vault]

!uchicago

[warped river]

i don’t think they get that many usually

sorry no date yet 😔

[vernal junco]

uchicago likely to procrastinate

[teal mauve]

2020 was also a week in advance

I would expect tomorrow or the next day tbh

[frigid galleon]

oh my god

that plushie is so cute

[teal mauve]

For a week out

[vernal junco]

phil had better fucking let me in

[frigid galleon]

i want one

[vernal junco]

GODDAMNIT PHIL

[frigid galleon]

i'm gonna kidnap phil from the uchicago office

[dusk holly]

who is phil

[frigid galleon]

the lil dragon plush

[dusk holly]

i know my regional ao tho

[vernal junco]

the plushie

[broken mason]

bro the amount of speculation we've done with the limited amount of data we have 😭

[gray geyser]

phil the phoenix

mental gymnastics

[vernal junco]

fr we're just obsessed now

[frigid galleon]

we're doing portal astrology next ❤️

[broken mason]

I'm just as invested tho

[teal mauve]

Ok yeah they’ll announce a week in advance lmao

[dusk holly]

frick uchicago for real

ucs better

[broken mason]

bruh

are you for real rn

[warped river]

the way we’re going to be waiting a whole extra week 😭

[broken mason]

wait no that isn;t right

[vernal junco]

we don't know that for sure

[warped river]

nah that’s the end of december atp

[teal mauve]

Third data point showing a week in advance

[warped river]

that’s like when rd apps are due

LITERALLY

crazy

[frigid galleon]

WHY IS HE SO CUTE

[vernal junco]

well that's also the third data point showing that the decision date is around the 20th

I'm not sure if they're just late to release rn or not

[teal mauve]

Why not both

[amber vault]

I’d see them releasing it on Christmas

[warped river]

why not just say end of december then

[frigid galleon]

why is phil so cute

[warped river]

what tf is “mid december”

[frigid galleon]

late december is the new mid december

[broken mason]

I'm still optimistic that phil can get his act together and give us decisions

[frigid galleon]

thank you so much carly

[warped river]

LOL

[frigid galleon]

i appreciate it

i finally do not have to fear the man with my doxx seeing everything i say

[vernal junco]

it could be next wednesday maybe

[dusk holly]

whats wrong with inky

[broken mason]

what the helllll

[vernal junco]

I hope earlier tho

[broken mason]

can you ban people from a thread?

🤣

[warped river]

i need it to be this friday

[frigid galleon]

bro is homophobic as fuck and has my doxx the man is praying on my downfall

[warped river]

ngl i’m even fine w the monday atp

[vernal junco]

it seems more likely to be earlier considering most decision dates were around 12/18 for every year

[frigid galleon]

i do not need him seeing the shit i'm saying in this thread

[warped river]

nooo

[broken mason]

Bro we dont know that

[warped river]

let him see his financial aid

[broken mason]

facts

[vernal junco]

the decision date announcements aren't as solid datapoints as the actual release dates for the past few years: it's speculation vs routine

[frigid galleon]

here's my little piece of speculation

they go full on fucking unhinged

[warped river]

there has to be

[frigid galleon]

and release decisions at like 3 in the morning tomorrow

[dusk holly]

for real he should be excommunicated

[warped river]

i’d be so happy

[broken mason]

Phil needs to get his shit together

[vernal junco]

imagine they release rn

[broken mason]

‼️

[gray geyser]

honestly i would prefer that to having christmas soured

[vernal junco]

Phil slacking

[teal mauve]

well we know theyre announcing tomorrow or thursday which +7d would be 21/22

[frigid galleon]

honestly he's extremely transphobic and homophobic and has called me too many slurs to count idk why i still talk to him

he should probably be banned but he hasn't done anything wrong in the server so

[cerulean forge]

what if they outquirked us and will release the decision date on thursday and decisions on friday

[vernal junco]

well yes but more likely still to be the 18th, since it could be that they're just late this year on the announcement despite the decision date being the same

[teal mauve]

how?

we have data for the 21st

[frigid galleon]

they want me so bad

[dusk holly]

damn u've gottent o a better conclusion than 99% of us here 🧌

[vernal junco]

well mainly because they routinely release on the 18th

[teal mauve]

no?

[frigid galleon]

i think 21 and 22 don't even fuckin count as mid-december

[teal mauve]

they literally didnt in the last two years

[frigid galleon]

at that point it's late december

[broken mason]

they released 17th last year

[teal mauve]

and the year before was 21st

[gray geyser]

maybe they’re in their flop era this year

[broken mason]

Year before we can't really count

[teal mauve]

????

[broken mason]

thats covid year

its expected to be delayed

[vernal junco]

17th last year, 21st the year prior due to covid, 18th the two previous years

[broken mason]

all years other than covid year have been 17/18

[dusk holly]

i turned off my student search thing a long time ago

[frigid galleon]

do you guys wanna do portal astrology

[teal mauve]

i wont argue this its such a bullshit thing

[broken mason]

Omit the outliers

[dusk holly]

i get spammed a lot less but then my ego is also lower 🧌

[broken mason]

statistcis 💯

[frigid galleon]

guys i can't change my decision round anymore ⁉️⁉️ does this mean i got in????????

[daring steeple]

Has anyone else looked at the class of 2027 page?

[frigid galleon]

no

[teal mauve]

yall ignore the statistics you dont like but ok

[vernal junco]

you're literally ignoring the actual stats lmao

[broken mason]

Are we unreasonable in thinking that covid year would cause a slightly later admission date

[frigid galleon]

did you know that 100% of a2c users touch grass

[teal mauve]

i gave you some lmao

idrc this much about it

[dusk holly]

the actual stat we're all ignoring is when the site says

Mid December
they weren't capping about being more specific 🧌

[frigid galleon]

carly it's not worth dying on this hill

how has life been going

[teal mauve]

no?

[frigid galleon]

is college good

[teal mauve]

if you think this is a hissy fit id encourage you to look in the mirror

[frigid galleon]

12 mod 12 = 0 therefore december is actually january

[teal mauve]

ive dealt with a lot from many of you these past couple weeks

[frigid galleon]

they're releasing in mid-january

[vernal junco]

as a mod I'd expect you to be more professional about this

[frigid galleon]

q.e.d.

[teal mauve]

i havent done anything lmao

[dusk holly]

do u have finals

[daring steeple]

Four people were already accepted and are on the 2027 page. The envy I have

[frigid galleon]

i think carly's only real obligations are to be professional in making mod decisions

[teal mauve]

quit trying to gaslight kiddo

[frigid galleon]

she's a person too i think she should be able to speak 💀

[dusk holly]

do u have finals

[vernal junco]

[daring steeple]

good luck bestie <33

I just checked my portal. The decisions have been made but they are gate keeping

[vernal junco]

ye they want the big reveal

[broken mason]

i mean id expect that by this point the decisions have been pretty much made

[frigid galleon]

If there’s a limited amount of matter in the universe, how can Olive Garden (along with other restaurants and their concepts of food infinity) offer truly unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks? Explain this using any method of analysis you wish—physics, biology, economics, history, theology… the options, as you can tell, are endless.

[broken mason]

[frigid galleon]

[onyx sedge]

Hello!

[warped river]

hello

[vernal junco]

idk which one

[frigid galleon]

hai

the furry one is an exact match but i'm gonna ignore that

[vernal junco]

RUN WHILE YOU CAN

[gusty wind]

Alas, I can only (uchi)jog(o)

[onyx sedge]

I forgot, did you ED @gusty wind

Or were you NU?

[gusty wind]

Na ea

[onyx sedge]

Ok

[gusty wind]

I ed’d northwestern

[onyx sedge]

That's what I thought

[gusty wind]

Yuss

[onyx sedge]

How're you feeling?

[frigid galleon]

bark

[frigid galleon]

that is literally the polar opposite of uchicago

[onyx sedge]

Not polar opposite

[gusty wind]

I’m a journalism major, ed northwestern is obligatory

But ya Uchicago isn’t in my top 3

[daring steeple]

which one am i

[onyx sedge]

Shame. We'd love to have you join us

[onyx sedge]

Fake sad

[gusty wind]

Good! Busy lol. Running a white elephant for my newspaper on Thursday. And an NHS meeting on Wednesday. And a secret Santa on Friday. 💀

Wbu?

[daring steeple]

that's fitting lol, thanks

[onyx sedge]

That's a lot hahaha. I have a similarly busy schedule the next few weeks. Currently doing calc homework and prepping for a trip to Pasadena for the Rose Parade (marching in it)

[frigid galleon]

WHOLESOME GUY

[onyx sedge]

You're welcome 🤗

[gusty wind]

Omg that’s awesome

[daring steeple]

<3333

[onyx sedge]

Yea, it's super exciting!

[vernal junco]

true, sani seems more wholesome than fake sad

[frigid galleon]

my caps were on by accident

@teal mauve stop slandering me

[onyx sedge]

I meant it just because I've never seen them before and they're a mod, so they're definitely invisible

[vernal junco]

ah makes sense

[gusty wind]

I had a minor w today, my nhs toy drive hit our goal :)

My school has never had a toy drive which I thought is stupid so we decided to partner with a local org to run one

[onyx sedge]

Ayy that's awesome. We're running one right now (not sure how it's going, I don't run it)

Just finished planning for another fundraiser today though

[gusty wind]

Ty! And nice

[onyx sedge]

Very excited

[gusty wind]

Ooo nice

Our student gov is selling stuff at the winter concert tmrw to fundraise and it’s my turn to booth but I had to bail cause I’m leading the photography team at said concert

[onyx sedge]

Ope, that's rough. You might need to find a replacement

[gusty wind]

There’s a running joke on our student gov that all I do is take minutes, wish I was taking minutes, dream about minutes, etc

[gusty wind]

Oh ya I did

Our whole cabinet is my immediate friend group so it’s pretty easy to drag someone in for me

What’s y’all’s fundraiser?

[onyx sedge]

Hahahaha

It's a winter clothing drive. We're essentially just trying to get the whole NHS to donate a few winter clothing items (coats, hats, gloves, etc.) and then we are donating them.

[gusty wind]

That’s a great idea!!

[onyx sedge]

I shouldn't have said fundraiser, I meant drive

[gusty wind]

Hope it goes well

[onyx sedge]

Yea, we're hosting sledding and snow games to help encourage people to donate

Jan 13th if you want to come 😅

[gusty wind]

Our nhs was kind of a joke for most of my time at my school (they met like twice a year and only had a volunteer hour requirement of 5 hours a year) so last year I started kinda ramping things up

I feel like nhs can be great to get people to volunteer but it’s kind of just a meaningless resume padder a lot of the time, so I’m trying to make ours worthwhile

[gusty wind]

Ayyy that’s epic

[onyx sedge]

That is such an awesome goal. I love that for y'all

Ours is pretty "intense" in comparison. 40 hour requirement and an application process to get into it.

[gusty wind]

Danggg

I upped our requirement to 10 hrs per semester

But 5 hours your first semester in the club

[onyx sedge]

We try very hard to avoid the "resume padder" category of NHS groups.

[gusty wind]

Ah that’s good

[onyx sedge]

Yea

[vernal junco]

our NHS hasn't done anything for the past 3 years tbh

[onyx sedge]

What grade are people allowed to join your NHS?

[onyx sedge]

Sadge

[gusty wind]

10th

[vernal junco]

we had 2 times where people were supposed to run for election but we never met after that

[onyx sedge]

Damn, I wish. Ours is only Juniors and Seniors

[gusty wind]

Yikes

[vernal junco]

I ran twice and there just wasn't NHS any of those years

[gusty wind]

Ah

Nhs is now my school’s largest club, but it only had 15 members back in 2020 before I joined

And we do two projects every semester

[onyx sedge]

Damn, that's an amazing accomplishment. I'm happy for you

That is seriously hard, so good fucking job

[gusty wind]

This semester we did this thing we call sparkle Saturday, where any student could come and help paint our planter boxes to make the school nice. And then the toy drive ofc

[gusty wind]

Tysm!!

[onyx sedge]

I love the idea of Sparkle Saturday

We just finished a tie blanket event this Saturday

[gusty wind]

Noice!!

[frigid galleon]

haiiii :3

[gusty wind]

Hi!

[onyx sedge]

I'm curious, how do y'all log and track and verify hours?

[frigid galleon]

how are y'all?

[onyx sedge]

We use Innerview and staff advisors use photos (and sometimes direct contact with managers of events) to verify and log hours

[frigid galleon]

@teal mauve why did you 1984 the brown eating disorder voice chat

[teal mauve]

Dont bullshit me pls

They got banned for nsfw

[frigid galleon]

ohhhh

are you fr

what happened

[teal mauve]

We’ll also general trolling

[frigid galleon]

i joined really late i wasn't there that long

[teal mauve]

One of them posted the supposed decision date on Reddit too

[frigid galleon]

ohhhh

[teal mauve]

It was impossible

[gusty wind]

Pretty low tech but we have people log them in a Google form 😭 that connects to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet defaults to red (unverified) but then we have them send us proof from their volunteer supervisor, or their supervisor’s email and we email them. Then it changes to green

[frigid galleon]

so they're just trolling

[gusty wind]

What’s innerview?

[onyx sedge]

I like that system. It's inventive. Innerview is software that we use that basically does what you described for us. You just get students an account and they put heir opportunities in the app, log the hours, and upload a picture and contact information to their supervisor.

It's really nice

Y'all should look into it

[onyx sedge]

https://innerview.org/

[gusty wind]

Omg I googled it

That’s like

So much more streamlined

[onyx sedge]

Yea!

It's super helpful

[gusty wind]

Gonna look into using it next semester after I look into it a bit more and talk to my vp

Added to my never ending notes app todo list 😭

[onyx sedge]

Hahahaha

I feel that on so many levels

[daring steeple]

when does uchicago come out my friend is super excited for it and i need to know when to celebrate her admittance!! 🎉

[onyx sedge]

Check pins

[daring steeple]

or be a shoulder to cry on

[onyx sedge]

We don't know, but will know soon. Hopefully tomorrow

[daring steeple]

ty!! ❤️

[onyx sedge]

Yup

[frigid galleon]

the brown ed guys saying i'm not getting into uchicago after saying oblock 💔

[onyx sedge]

Are you also the kind of person that is heavily committed to like 5 activities?

And consequently has an unending list of things to do

[frigid galleon]

[gusty wind]

Yuss 💅
Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss, implode… amiright

[onyx sedge]

Totally lmfao

[gusty wind]

Well I have one main activity, newspaper, then a bunch of other smaller commitments

[frigid galleon]

i'm really bored rn any of y'all wanna play discord vc activities

[broken mason]

nah playing overpiss r

[onyx sedge]

I'm good

[broken mason]

rn*

[frigid galleon]

overpiss on some bitches

[gusty wind]

But all my other school year activities’ hours combined add up to less than just newspaper alone

[gusty wind]

No ty I’m waiting on a friend to help me with calc soon

[onyx sedge]

I'm kind of the same way, but they all have on/off seasons. So I have marching band, I shoot trap, NHS, other band commitments (assorted winter activities), some government stuff, and a job

[gusty wind]

The slayest of slays

I just have summer and school year

[onyx sedge]

So, I'm kind of that way because they all rotate in when they get busy

It's weird how well it works out

[gusty wind]

That’s chaotic but at least you’re not having them pile up at once ig

[gusty wind]

Awesome sauce

[onyx sedge]

Except the occasional anomaly, yea

[gusty wind]

Ah nice

[onyx sedge]

I wish you luck in NW

You deserve it. You've done some amazing stuff

[gusty wind]

You too (but for Uchicago)

[gusty wind]

Ty :)) so do you!! We got this y’all

[onyx sedge]

Thank you 🤞🤞🤞

We do

Best wishes and kind regards

[gusty wind]

You’re giving me flashbacks to this one day in early November. Once a month after school on Thursdays I have a school board meeting (the rest are on Tuesdays). I have journalism/English honor society every Thursday at lunch. My newspaper typically goes to press near the end of the week on press weeks. This landed on that Thursday. Oh, also, I had an Econ unit test. I literally fainted when I touched my bed that night

[warped river]

you guys are so active omg

every time i look there’s like 50+ messages

[gusty wind]

We’re just dying of stress

[onyx sedge]

Holy shit

[gusty wind]

I cope with stress by talking people’s ears off

[onyx sedge]

That's bad

[warped river]

BRO WERE ALMOST AT 8K MESSAGES

[gusty wind]

My friends loveeeee me for it

[warped river]

WE WERE AT 4k YESTERDAY

cornell at 12k…

[onyx sedge]

I once had a solid week like that. It right before finals, a music solo competition, I had some long-term volunteering commitments, and some applications due all that week. I don't think there was a single day I left home after 7:00 AM and got home before 11:00 PM

I feel your pain

Junior year was rough hahaha

[brazen comet]

Yo

Uchicago EA gang Wya

[onyx sedge]

I'm ED, but still

[brazen comet]

when is decesions coming out

[onyx sedge]

Check pins

We aren't sure

We'll know soon though

[gentle maple]

Excited rn deadass

[vocal eagle]

How many days in advance was it in 2021 do y’all remember

[onyx sedge]

4

[radiant hawk]

if its coming out fri or mon

and decisions dates announced wed or thurs

likely gonna be mon

[vocal eagle]

I hope it’s Friday or Monday and not WEDNESDAY 🤮🤮🤮

[onyx sedge]

They have announced as little as 2 days in advance for EDII and RD deadlines

So, Friday is still possible

[vocal eagle]

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY

manifesting

[onyx sedge]

We'll know soon enough though, let's not worry about it

[vocal eagle]

Speaking it into existence

[stone cosmos]

is the ed and ea pool different

for the applications

i dont remember if i alrdh asked this

[mild rose]

wdym

like do they consider EDs and EAs differently? yes

[gentle maple]

Yes different pools but they will look at both pools for context of your school if you have multiple people applying

[brazen comet]

whats ED vs EA acceptance rate

[broken mason]

20+% vs probably sub 10%

[brazen comet]

whats uchicago RD acceptance rate then?

[broken mason]

<1%*

[stone cosmos]

0.5 ve heard

ive

[brazen comet]

WHAT THE

what about ED2

[stone cosmos]

similar to ed 1

[broken mason]

prob similar to ED1

[gentle maple]

We will never know the actual numbers for those specifics

[broken mason]

Nope we won't

thats why im using + and -

its all speculation because UChicago doesn't wanna reveal all this

[radiant hawk]

ED2 is defo more like EA

[broken mason]

I'm pretty darn confident that its similar to ED

[radiant hawk]

ed1 is probably closer to like 10-15

[brazen comet]

why not

[vernal junco]

ed2 def slightly lower than ed1

[broken mason]

agreed on that part

but still prob closer to ED than EA

the binding is a big thing

[vernal junco]

yeah

[brazen comet]

why don't they reveal like every other college

[broken mason]

the exceedingly low RD acceptance rate could deter people from even trying to apply RD

Time to start on a book report thats due in 24 hours and 19 minutes

[broken mason]

[vernal junco]

if I get into uchicago I am working every day every minute no games to pay off the debt I owe

[vocal eagle]

I also owe debt

[vernal junco]

meant in terms of admission karma debt not money lol

[vocal eagle]

WHAAAA

oh I misread that

[broken mason]

read it closer

yeah

[vocal eagle]

My dumb fuck ass

[vernal junco]

ye it's just the same as the email sent before

[broken mason]

I knew as soon as I saw that hype reaction you had misread it

I misread it for 0.001 seconds too

[vocal eagle]

LMAO

[gentle maple]

Overall acceptance rate is 7.2 from last years class

[vocal eagle]

I can’t believe it’s so last minute this year

[gentle maple]

Fr

MEANS THAT THEY GOT A LOT

[mild rose]

wasnt it sub 5?

[vernal junco]

I just gotta sleep tonight, work hard on my essay tomm and then do well on physics and I'm set for the week

[broken mason]

nah

[vocal eagle]

I wish it wasn’t so close to Christmas I kind of wanted to figure out my decision far enough away from the holidays that I could get over it so I won’t be so sad if I get rejected

[broken mason]

IIRc only sub 5's were stanford, harvard, MIT, and caltech

along with some random other schools

[onyx sedge]

Yea, they're completely different

[frigid galleon]

haii :3

[broken mason]

like curtis institute of music or whatever that is

[onyx sedge]

Absurdly low

[frigid galleon]

yep everything points to a date release tomorrow or the day after

[vocal eagle]

Hiiiii

[broken mason]

bruh other schools got the date decisions are gonna be released

[frigid galleon]

haiiiii biscuit

[broken mason]

meanwhile uchicago clowns hype as hell over a damn date for the date release

[frigid galleon]

HONESTLY

mid-december my ass 😭

[gentle maple]

6% actually

[broken mason]

look its all gonna pan out

[mild rose]

https://www.reddit.com/r/uchicago/comments/uj3qbw/admit_rate_5_for_class_of_2026_plus_sonnencheins/

oh

[broken mason]

This is whats gonna go down

basically

[gentle maple]

Shit wtf

[broken mason]

tomorrow they're gonna release the decisions

[gentle maple]

I didn’t know it was that low

[broken mason]

be like

[gentle maple]

3% admit rate this year 💀

[broken mason]

whoops wrong send 🤣

[broken mason]

Uchicago enters the T5 for sure if it becomes 3% admit rate but theres quite literally no way that happens

[mild rose]

nah it wont enter t5

acceptance rate doesnt matter anyway

[vocal eagle]

Me tomorrow

[gentle maple]

It was #3 a few years ago…

[broken mason]

T5 on USNews I think it will

if you mean true T5 then yeah

hypsm forever

until one of those schools slips up

[onyx sedge]

HMC is one of the top colleges in North America and they have a 20% acceptance rate

[frigid galleon]

minerva

[onyx sedge]

So yea, it doesn't really matter that much

[broken mason]

Also pretty much nobody knows about harvey mudd college

and the small student body deters a lot of applicants

• the campus is literally like a high school campus size

[mild rose]

yes thats what im saying

[vocal eagle]

If I get rejected next week honestly like my application is so good and I’ll take my ass somewhere that wants me

[mild rose]

acceptance rate =/ how good the school is

[broken mason]

well of course

[gentle maple]

Fr fR fR

[stone cosmos]

Biscuit is getting cocky hahaha

[vocal eagle]

I’m hyping myself up

I’m tired of telling myself my stuff isn’t good enough I know realistically my shit is gas

[broken mason]

Yoooo 🤣

[vocal eagle]

[broken mason]

"realistically my shit is gas"

[vocal eagle]

LMFAO

[onyx sedge]

[frigid galleon]

if i get rejected next week i'm just gonna cry

[broken mason]

then you can write 60 supps in 2 weeks and apply to every single T30 university in the US

[vocal eagle]

I’m not starting my RDs till I get rejected

I’m too superstitious

[broken mason]

Confidence is key

I will say tho in the off chance that they deny your shit then it might be a rough 2-3 weeks

[frigid galleon]

who is that directed to

[broken mason]

all people who haven't started RD apps

[vocal eagle]

Yeah considering I’m flying back to texas on the 24th 😭😭 I’ll have no shot in finishing my stuff on time lmfao

[broken mason]

nah you got it

[vocal eagle]

You’re the best hype man

[frigid galleon]

yeah i haven't

if i get rejected it's gonna be a rough week my mental health is already gone

[broken mason]

Listen realistically you can blast an app in like 2-3 days

write all essays on one day

[frigid galleon]

i did my uchicago app in a day

[daring steeple]

i thought this was a well known stat

[frigid galleon]

💀

[broken mason]

spam anyone with a brain for edits on them after finishing while you recover lost sleep

[frigid galleon]

my ps, quirky essay, and why uchicago essay were done in a daay

[broken mason]

then fix your essays

boom

💯

[onyx sedge]

Not a good sign lmfao

[frigid galleon]

so listen

it's hard for me to write sincerely about myself

without the time crunch my essays would've been hot ass

[daring steeple]

i did mine over the course of a week

[frigid galleon]

or i wouldn't have written them at all

[vocal eagle]

I found out one other person from my school was applying to uchicago and I slid in her dms to see if she was applying ED

🤞 I’m safe

[frigid galleon]

the time crunch made my essays actually decent

were they revised that much? no

[mild rose]

uh my bad ig lol

[broken mason]

Mine took like 19 days I think

[frigid galleon]

were they heart to heart and very clearly sincere? yes

[broken mason]

I started august 30th and I submitted sept 18th

[onyx sedge]

Dang, you're early to it

[gentle maple]

Bro 3 people in my school got into tufts

[daring steeple]

yeah it's also the only class stat they've ever posted lol

[vocal eagle]

I haven’t reread my essays since November 1st

[frigid galleon]

but yea t-rex that's just how i work

[frigid galleon]

SAME

[onyx sedge]

My school is not that prestigious

[vocal eagle]

I don’t want to get embarassed with myself

[frigid galleon]

I submitted my essays then immediately purged them from my mind

[mild rose]

omg i just realized i think i know ur irl

[broken mason]

I wrote like 7 drafts of quirky

[broken mason]

Thats good

[gentle maple]

No way

[broken mason]

save your mental strife

[mild rose]

99% sure

[frigid galleon]

i wrote no drafts

[broken mason]

whats done is done now let it go and wait for the result

[vocal eagle]

I started a draft on like 5 different prompts, cried, then said fuck it and wrote my own prompt

[gentle maple]

My?

[frigid galleon]

[gentle maple]

NY?

[mild rose]

[onyx sedge]

[broken mason]

I did arguably one of the hardest prompts

[warped river]

why is it when i log in here the same 3 ppl are always chatting 💀

[mild rose]

lmfao

[daring steeple]

i would've done this special rolling ED round in september (offered to participants in their summer scholarship programs, get a decision in 3 weeks) but it was too risky financially, I didnt even have fafsa
my application also would've been underdone asf so 💀

[gentle maple]

HOLY

[daring steeple]

speaking of which

[vocal eagle]

What did you choose

[warped river]

which one?

[broken mason]

What can be divided by 0

[frigid galleon]

because we're obsessed

[gentle maple]

so yeah guys I may have a Uchicago hoodie 👀

[frigid galleon]

-1

[daring steeple]

we have to factor that in for class admission too lol

[vernal junco]

That was my same idea lmao, I did my essay like a few days before the deadline and still made a banger

[frigid galleon]

thank you for coming to my ted talk

[mild rose]

its so nice too

they sold out

):

[warped river]

that’s torture ngl

[frigid galleon]

i did my personal statement the day of the deadline

it banged

[gentle maple]

Bestest decision of my life ngl

[broken mason]

Nah I had a good idea for it so I followed thru

[daring steeple]

there's probably even less spots currently avalable due to their rolling ED round

[frigid galleon]

uchicago quirky essay? the day of the deadline. i was quirked up as fuck

[vernal junco]

0 as per l'hopital

[gentle maple]

Did you ED or EA

[mild rose]

ED

[frigid galleon]

why uchicago essay? banged that out and finished it 10 mins before the deadline

[broken mason]

I looked at all the prompts and searched for one that I could write a good essay for

[gentle maple]

SHITTT let’s both get in bro

[mild rose]

ong

LI represent

[frigid galleon]

there's probably better ways to write essays though

[broken mason]

anw bruh

[gentle maple]

Helll yeah

[vernal junco]

I hope we all get in, we can't leave no one behind

[frigid galleon]

i did all my research in advance

to be clear

same with brainstorming

[vocal eagle]

I feel like my why uchicago essay is good but it kinda sounded like I was lying but what I said was a true story

[frigid galleon]

i didn't just randomly do these i already had the ideas and knew what i was doing

[gentle maple]

@mild rose how’d you know it was me

[frigid galleon]

i was just too nervous to write them

[mild rose]

uh

well

[gentle maple]

Besides my obvious username

[mild rose]

i recognized ur handle

[broken mason]

my why uchicago essay was 720 words ☠️

[frigid galleon]

anxiety can cause writer's block a lot

[gentle maple]

LMAO

[mild rose]

it took me a couple days

[frigid galleon]

let me find my word counts

[mild rose]

for it to lcick

[gentle maple]

ajahahah

Deleted Instagram for this week cause that shit is so addictive

[vocal eagle]

mine was 602

[vernal junco]

I think my uchicago weird essay was like 50 words longer than I needed

[vocal eagle]

is that low or high

[mild rose]

IKR

[vocal eagle]

for why chicago

[frigid galleon]

(rounded to the nearest 10)
UChicago extended essay - 510 words
Why UChicago essay - 460 words
Common App personal statement - 570 words

[mild rose]

everyone posting about decisions

[gentle maple]

I just keep scrolling 💀

[broken mason]

I think reccomended is 250-500 for why uchicago

[gentle maple]

YEAH THAT TOO

[broken mason]

so we both went overboard

but like

[frigid galleon]

these are my essay lengths

[broken mason]

Its not a big deal

[mild rose]

wtf

[daring steeple]

it depends on how interesting you make your essay tbh

[gentle maple]

Just keep the reader entertained lol

[frigid galleon]

i went a bit light

[daring steeple]

if it's trash but 1000 words, ehhh

[frigid galleon]

but i said what i wanted to say in the space i wanted to say it in

and i was content with all of them

so

[mild rose]

i was 650 for common app, 750 for why uchicago and 900 for quirky

[broken mason]

my quirky was only 500 words

[frigid galleon]

maxxed out 💀

[broken mason]

but I got the job done in that time and didn't wanna bore the reader

[mild rose]

so much to write

[vocal eagle]

I’m going to be so mad if I get rejected, I was so proud of my essays I let my dad read them and I never let my parents read anything of mine

[gentle maple]

Jeez y’all are crazy

[broken mason]

so I just cut and submit

[alpine sun]

anyone else get a random package from chicago today

[frigid galleon]

yeah like don't make your essay unnecessarily long

[vocal eagle]

wtf no

[alpine sun]

for reference i alr ed'd

[gentle maple]

☹️

[broken mason]

submitted version??

[mild rose]

ye

[frigid galleon]

i wrote only around 500 words each (although my common app ps was near 600) because if you're just repeating yourself it's fuckin boring

[alpine sun]

just the "the life of the mind" book

[broken mason]

Christ I did 720 for why uchicago and thats the biggest one ive seen thus far

[alpine sun]

and a letter

[vernal junco]

I only got a book from uchicago a while back

[alpine sun]

but like the letter was generic

[vernal junco]

Oh yeah thst one

[vocal eagle]

uchicago sent me jack shit does that mean anything bad for me lmfao

[alpine sun]

weird sending it now lmao

[vernal junco]

It's just a generic book about the college dw

[broken mason]

UChicago has sent me a couple postcards and thats about it

[vernal junco]

It's marketing

[frigid galleon]

[alpine sun]

they are known for sending a ton

[mild rose]

they sent me a postcard with my name on it in their custom font

that was nice

[frigid galleon]

uchicago stopped sending me mail after i submitted ED

[alpine sun]

I just nearly had a stroke

getting a package from them

[vocal eagle]

i got a piece of red mail from uic and i thought it was uchicago at first

</3

[broken mason]

rip jit

[alpine sun]

they sent me the ty letter and this

[frigid galleon]

remove the i and it's the same

[alpine sun]

so nothing much

[gentle maple]

Common: 642
Why Uchicago: 520
Quirky: 568

[broken mason]

common i was on the dot

[daring steeple]

tbh

[broken mason]

649 and I was desperate

I couldn't cut any more than that

[daring steeple]

some people who got in rolling ED had 1500 words for both essays

[frigid galleon]

my ca was kinda short but i literally had nothing else to say

[gentle maple]

Oh yeah I got that a few weeks ago

[frigid galleon]

like

i already stated my motives

[vocal eagle]

holy fuck

[alpine sun]

💀 what

[frigid galleon]

being concise is painful 😭😭😭

[vocal eagle]

my quirky essay was 1000 words

[broken mason]

what the hell is rolling ED

[vocal eagle]

im getting rejected

[frigid galleon]

[mild rose]

[gentle maple]

Scary holy

[broken mason]

oh deadass???

[gentle maple]

Y’all wrote so much

[mild rose]

yes da

[frigid galleon]

i wrote less than you tlo

[gentle maple]

Really?

[vocal eagle]

i hope thats not a big deal ): i thought my essay was fire

[alpine sun]

honestly i didnt pay attention to word count, wasn't that the whole point of removing the limits

[frigid galleon]

reposting

[gentle maple]

I see it now

500 each

[frigid galleon]

@gentle maple (rounded to the nearest 10)
UChicago extended essay - 510 words
Why UChicago essay - 460 words
Common App personal statement - 570 words

yep

[gentle maple]

Wowowow

[daring steeple]

If you participated in a summer scholarship program last summer, you were presented with the opportunity to apply ED in september and hear back within 3 weeks

[frigid galleon]

i said what i needed to say and i said it in the word count i was given

[vocal eagle]

the last sentence of my essay is funny

[gentle maple]

WOW

[frigid galleon]

i'm not gonna elaborate unnecessarily

[alpine sun]

damn you left 80 on your commonapp?

[frigid galleon]

yes

i said what i wanted to say

[alpine sun]

tbh they might like that lmao

if its concise

yeah

[frigid galleon]

it's very concise

[gentle maple]

I dis something funny for my quirky one:

Prompt: Nobel prize for Food
Funky line: I leave you with so food for thought 😌😌

[frigid galleon]

it basically states my views on CS, my motives for doing it, and my experience with the passion and how i grew

[alpine sun]

I feel like my quirky essay was too basic tbh

[mild rose]

this was the best prompt

[frigid galleon]

it's like showing the ao the framework with which i view computer science and how it's super personal to me

[gentle maple]

Agreed

[vocal eagle]

lmfao

[daring steeple]

i would've done it but i was way too financially insecure
the guaranteed 40k/year might not've been enough and my application probably would've been underdeveloped too

[gentle maple]

Interesting

[daring steeple]

it was before fafsa so

[alpine sun]

did everyone here do the video?

[broken mason]

nope

[vocal eagle]

i did

[broken mason]

did not submit the video

[gentle maple]

I did!

[frigid galleon]

my last sentence of the uc hicago essay was kinda mid it was hard to end gracefully @vocal eagle

[frigid galleon]

nope

[alpine sun]

I feel like it was the strongest part of my app

[daring steeple]

i submitted a portfolio

[vocal eagle]

[gentle maple]

@mild rose I submitted my Regeneron manuscipt LOL

[mild rose]

[daring steeple]

some of my friends hated it

[mild rose]

idk if theyd read allthat

maybe the abstract

[gentle maple]

Yeah yeah

[frigid galleon]

i'm just not going to read my essays so i don't cringe at myself

[broken mason]

with regeneron can't you only present your own work?

[vocal eagle]

my common app essay was a trauma dump told through my love for something extremely specific

[mild rose]

it was his

[broken mason]

I never tried submitting any of my papers to regeneron because they all had someone else on them

[frigid galleon]

i hate that feeling so i'm gonna avoid it

[gentle maple]

Yeah I did a project over the summer

I wrote a whole manuscript throughout October

[daring steeple]

i think my summer course with them was good tbh

[gentle maple]

Honestly that was like 5 applications in 1

[vocal eagle]

aint no way im getting in when yall have extremely specific ec's

[frigid galleon]

[vocal eagle]

[gentle maple]

[gentle maple]

True true true lab productivity

[mild rose]

one of my ECs was writing mock advisory packages for atlantic and pacific hurricanes, kind of like the national hurricane center. It was me and a group of like 7 other forecasters, spent a lot of time on it in the summer ofc. I've done a lot of other weather-related stuff but idk what was the most "impressive" tbh

Too much pegging = weak sphincter

Pegging typically strengthens the rectal muscle over time. It’s conventional practice to use butt plugs of varying weight, diameter, depth and shape to ensure your sphincter will be in working order for years to come.

It’s common for beginners to jump right in with high speed and thick girthed pegging, or simply by receiving anal sex from a generous and enthusiastic partner.

[broken mason]
