that makes me feel better
if you're deferred you can either rd or opt into ed2
ed2 pool goes crazy probs
but why would you want uchicago to break your heart twice
sr grades probably my best year yet π
did most people here apply econ?
no i'm cs
nice
So does anyone know how to withdraw your application once you get deferred from a specific college
I applied for Geophysical sciences
if you can't find a button on the portal just email the admissions office
include your name and application id
that will work for literally every college
that's how i withdrew from UNT
WHY IS THERE AN r/uchicagogonewild
? ? ?
omg-
tbh, in a way, i'm glad i found online forums like this
would've been stressing half to death by myself because i'm the only one who applied to uchicago at my school iirc
i did π
wait idk if i applied econ or math
but either one is a death sentence ngl
same LMAO
no literally and for what? for me to be rejected??
fr
Bruh idk why
Like look here you sending me 10 postcards, 3 magazines and some other stuff
Is not gonna make me apply
Stop killing the trees bestie
i just want to build a nuclear reactor at uchicago
fr i want to build another chicago pile
i want to dip you in plutonium
I'll help as your Physics minor friend
wtf??
π
physics is so hard
thanks bestie
I love physics
i think imma just stick with math
bao i hope you enjoy the cat ears
i hope you enjoy plu(a)tonic radiation
only if i can cuddle it
yeah
ur the weirdest person ive met
I'm kidding I don't wanna die THAT badly holy shit
you wont die instantly
it will just be a slow death with cancer
Its worse
Slow deaths are almost always worse
When uchi
decision date is going to be announced tmrw or the day after
Hmm okok then
according to @teal mauve that means the decision is prob on dec 21 or dec 22
but i'm hoping for a dec 16 or dec 19 release
ain't this funny
fancy phone
oh
Is this real? Like really really real?
What in the world
Yes
Was it random in your feed
well i hope it's today cus π
!uchicago
Grrr
LOL no news!!
No
it doesnβt matter for u π
I need to know so bad
I need senioritis asap
gonna start simping umass in the meantime
emailing chicago immediately
π
So I belatedly sent my AO an email
50% of apps are test optional now i heard
I'm praying chicago didnt request q1 grades
π
If it makes you feel better
this is me but with the Honors section of my app π
Also bro idfk what my school is sending as transcripts
but they auto do that
I forgot to add an entire EC
I hope they're smart enough to send the right shit
my uchi app was a dumpster fire
Prob aren't and it's gonna screw me tho
Oof
kekw
my uchi app was omega fire
I think
again who would write about Suharto being born in Papua???
hindsight is 20/20
nobody that's who
isnt that the
indonesean dictator?
π
What
And like
I did the damn research
actual historical entities that had no connection to him I connected
nice
that sounds v interesting
tyty
What keyboard was it
They donβt
maybe later not trying to self dox now π
Oh it's that specific dang
there may be aos here
yeah its a small hobby
Ngl with keyboards I just picked up a Keychron K4V2
for sure
yeah not unlikely
You really think? Lmao
probably the largest hyper-active forum
and access to a lot of data given linked accounts for students
ao's might just be here to gauge sentiments though
ong
Absolutely love the gargoyles and the whole vibe
I love chicago
@radiant hawk killed the vibe here smh
smh
no lol
same π
not getting in anyways π
U mean uchicago actually sent that? π±
Ahhh ok ok....I was about to get a heart attack
bruh why would they send a letter like that π
Ik....but they said yes....so I thought maybe? Lol
i stole it off top of all time on a2c (the sub)
guys does this mean i was accepted??
no it means you got denied
oh.
What are yβall interested in studying? Hopeful philosophy/history major here
rizz studies
I want headpats
computer science
I want them more
Gimme
no they are mine
wtf is this? a a2c/uchicago group headpat session???
mine first you literally threatened to muzzle me
There there
thank you
bruh my message got ROTLed π
whatβs rotl
Here u go too...there there
bork
why do people say that UChicago is where fun goes to die?
rotate left
ROTL is a bitwise operation where you rotate left but like
jealous people
the bits that get cut off come back at the start
itβs where fun goes to live
What is this? I didn't even understand the meaning
rigor
is it that rigorous?
rumor spread by cornellians
so rotl is like this
any t20 is rigorous
imagine you had an 8 bit number 11101010
and you wanted to ROTL by 2 bits
it would be 10101011
so it shifts left but it also comes back around
Ouhh...gotcha....shift positions but all shft at the same time
yea yea
it's a common operation in cryptography
the joke was my message came out as
ing to cockapply
fancy
Lol ok ok
tf
hi apocalypsegamer1
to be fair ramen called this place a2f before my message
(applying to fard)
huh
.
I know ROTL from bit string flicking in acsl π€£
the operation is called circ there tho π€£
guys do we have a date yet??
nope πΏ
L
i know rotl and rotr from cryptography
i love cryptography π€ͺ π€ͺ kill me
it's fun except when your code breaks and you can't figure out why
ooo nice!! i want to do econs with maybe a history or philo minor
math and cs gotta be coolest
the big problems course they have for upperclassmen seems really interesting too
i wanna minor in ealc
spanish minor
and maybe linguistics
i wanna take uc hicago's ethics in cs classes
CMSC 25910 π€ͺ
CMSC 28400 π³
cryptography is my fav area of study
Money
fellow money major
question
if you get deferred from EA you can switch your app to ED2 right?
would ED2 have higher odds
Yes
yea
Guys, this anxiety is killing me
π
Just checked, no update
no update
that is correct
if you're deferred it's RD by default but you can change your decision round to ED2
Update: there is nothing
Wait thatβs actually cap
Idk where their source is for this
But the UChicago class of 2027 page has this story up
Yeah, I saw that. It seemed unfactual
So this very well could be bullshit but idk
2 days and 9 hours thatβs what
the 16th at 9PM?
No way
yeah potentially
I just dmβd the account asking for the sauce
but i don't think these instagram people have the date
I'm going to message the class of 27 account and ask how they know
they have insider info
.
π₯Έ
yeah and i picked frnech in middle scohol
i got silver in le grand concours 2 in 8th grade
placed 3rd in a local competition
no idea what that is
worth it
le grand concours is the natoinal french competition
silver is like top 15% in the country
it's 11:05am can they announce the date
HONESTLY
lol
actually- its 12:06 in eastern time π€
uh actually it's 11:06 now
ramen's gonna get a full ride or something man
for real
i believe in you ramen
bros gonna get like a full ride
I wish lol
i'd be happy getting in but i wouldn't attend unless i got full aid or close
i can't afford college
uchicago's npc gave me $30 so there's still hope
wouldnβt you get full aid below 60k income
yes
so you would
βunfortunatelyβ
i can't afford $30 though ππ
i would rather be above 60k
fortunately and unfortunately
it's not fun having a family income that low
being poor is not so fun
yes I apologize for my previous comment
but in the aspect of getting aid, unfortunately I do not qualify for full aid
It is when you live in a poor country
You can do anything with 50000$ salary in Armenia
We are considered rich
But I can potentially get a full-ride
Iirc international aid is iffy
you're not poor by armenian standards though
that's the thing
yeah 50k is good or even great in a lot of 3rd world countries
but it's not enough for a family to live on in the US
this is not true
it might not be enough to live comfotably
unless you're in a rural area or somewhere affordable
I have a lot of friends with a single income provider around 50k providing for 2-4 kids
any update
sure you can live
but it's not gonna be fun
that's my point
it's also not terrible
Negative
you're still broke as fuck
they play video games with me, they get thier own jobs, and they still have spenidng money
as someone with a family income of 20k last year
what is rhis rhen
it's not terrible but it certainly isn't fun
?
20k is a little bit different but we said 50k
my family size is also half that of the people you talk about
i'm an only child
you're talking about people with 2-4 kids
my point being
thats fair. but the point stands that you can live fine on 50k.
yeah having a low income is livable
but it's not a comfortable life
or a fun life
or particularly enjoyable in that aspect
π€·ββοΈ it doesn't have to be that way in my opinion
not being sure whether you'll be homeless the next month or not isn't quite a fun feeling imo
did u appLy for qb?
Idk where you live but where I live, 50k a year isn't at th elevel where you debate homelessness
20k is
no
again. I'm talking about 50k
i live in the DFW area too; rent where i am is like 2.5k/mo
that's 30k/yr
2.5/month is pretty darn high
its not nearly that high where im at
exactly
now do you see my point
i'm speaking from the perspective of where i live
here 50k/yr isn't livable
yeah i see your point
but again i think this ties back into what i said earlier
how do u live with 20k then
It depends on location a lot of course
it's about how poor you are in relation to where yo ulive
at this point i think my dad is just taking loans from friends
which is what i was saying earlier
any date yet?
mid December
what matters is how poor you are in relation to where you live not just how much money you have
no shit π
π
right. I don't disagree with that. But i'm just saying if you move to a different part of the US, you can live off of 50k very easily(albeit not very comfortably)
it's not enough for a family to live on where i live
cus I thought texas was supposed to be cheap
at least thats what all the memes tell me
it used to be
but then all the people started fucking moving in
california refugees etc
real estate prices soared
damn
Texas is only cheap in like the super rural parts
Even 30 minutes outside of big cities houses are expensive
for a 2 or 3 bedroom house in a suburban area of dfw
You can get rent for a family of 4 for around 1.5k where i'm at
i could be wrong do not quote me on that
i pay 2.5k for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment
Granted, still way cheaper than cities outside of LA and NY but not so doable as a middle class person
but houses used to be cheaper
until people started moving here and buying in cash
My parents rent jumped from 1200 where we were renting to like 2k for a 3b and thatβs still considered really cheap
now it's nearing totally unaffordable for most middle class people
yeah 2k for a 3b is hella cheap
i pay more for 2b
they california'd my texas π
you can rent in an actual nice area/neighborhood for 3bd 1.5k a month where i live
i live like 30 minutes away from downtown dallas
i'm not in a particularly urban area
i'm in the suburbs
interesting
I thought suburbs were like Mckinney/Frisco
Oh, yeah you're right
Not to be a typical Texan but dude California people are ruining Austin
when it comes to californians i am a typical texan
like my stance on californians will never change
No but actually Cali people ruined the housing market here
people are speculating it's the actual date
yeah FUCK californians
no offense californians
for once im feeling lucky to live in the boring state of NC
the housing market is so absolutely fucked
Theyβre moving every big business to Austin and it is destroying the livability for people who grew up there their entire lives and itβs taking out the βweirdnessβ of the city
So many local restaurants are having to close
Like every one of them moved here during 2019 and especially after covid when school districts here were opening
Tesla moved to Austin and itβs fucking ridiculous
austin isn't staying weird?
i'm telling you man
texas is slowly being ruined by californians
and corporations
I've gotten into Ut-Austin and it's not even a bad school but I hate texas
I also hate Texas but now that I moved out of it I miss it a lot lol
i love this state but the influx of people from cali and the fucking of the real estate market is making it nearly intolerable
Everything is big in Texas is such a true statement
the only thing i can really complain about other than californians is the government
donβt even make 50k
Valid
it kinda sucks that I can actually feel inflation now and its not one of those problems people talk about but you never see
I miss how nice southerners are just in general
southern hospitality is real
people are a lot colder up north
I got a chipotle burrito bowl with 2x chicken and guacamole and it was 14.50
what the hell
you wouldnβt believe how many people donβt say thank you when you hold the door open for them or just like, being in public people donβt say random things to me like they do in Texas
I used to get complimented on random shit from like old white ladies all the time
My partner visited texas with me for the first time and he lovessss it as a hardcore northerner
despite all the weird political bullshit i've never experienced homophobia once and i've always felt welcome
Itβs out
@lilac bridge
anw bruh

Bruh
I donβt wanna wait a week
@onyx sedge
ππππππππππππ
yeah carly predicted it
like no shot
carly was fucking dead on
Fml
Itβs not even covid year
what is uchicago doing with the 7 days???
Why they so l8 this year
get working on those RDs
idk
@teal mauve lmao I think u were right
waiting for ppl to withdraw apps
after
lmaoooooo
others get announced
nah cuz the ED ones
from other schools
is gonna cuase ppl to withdraw
Omg youβre so right
true but that's such a braindead move
like why not put it on monday if that were the case
Wow I never even thought about that thatβs genius
Maybe thatβll make more space for some borderline applicants
yes
its a good thing
maybe they want more time to reconsider
yeah but EA applicants withdrawing makes more space for ED kids
..they are so annoying. I don't want to open it on a random Wednesday in my house during break
i'm gonna be recording a decision reaction video man
don't wanna record my face though
gotta pull out the fucking vtuber model
you should
No time for RD applications
The sad thing about my decision video is I had a perfect idea if it came out this Friday, but now they ruined it. I would've been TikTok famous.

uchicago crushing our dreams
and our RD applications goddamn
releasing like 10 days before rd deadlines??
Fun died
And we are not there yet
Why can't they do it earlier so I know to do RDs
fun is dying π
yeah like i need time for my RD and ED2 app if i'm rejected
i can't wait a week for my decision
I don't want to fill out other applications for no reason
bruhhh
exactly

I guess I actually have to do my rd apps now bruh
I'm getting my wisdom teeth out this Friday and I really wanted to film my decision video immediately after surgery, so if I didn't get in I could cry from the physical and emotional pain at once. An efficient cry, if you will
Also what time is late afternoon???
Why can't they be specific
at this point i would prefer a release on sunday at 3 am
Have they updated anyoneβs portal yet I want to know what theyβre gonna write about the decision date
no change
it just says
Thank you for checking on your application status! At this time, we have processed all of your application materials, and our committee is in the process of finalizing decisions for Early Action and Early Decision-1 applicants. We will notify you via email when your admissions decision is ready to be viewed; we expect to release admissions decisions in mid-December and will share our decision release date on our website when it is finalized.
uncommon blog hasn't been updated either
WHAT DOES MID-DECEMBER MEAN???
dec 21 is NOT mid-december
don't make promises you can't keep π
i still love their bum ass school though even if they can't release a decision on time
but this is an abusive romance π
Tell us afterwards
What did he advise
lol uchicago is being priv qrt'd on twitter
If I get rejected Iβll send an email about βmid-Decemberβ to the admissions office
same
What do you mean?
'
Tomorrows gonna be a bloodbath with all those decisions holy crap
It was one of the essay titles
What would a wisdom teeth advise?
Are we all gonna share our decisions in here regardless of what happens
If I get rejected Iβm going to be really embarassed so donβt make fun of me </3
i'll buy a celebratory pair of cat ears or smth
wait
bad timing
i was talking about if i got accepted
π
LMAO
Ah, yeah. Iβll keep you updated haha
if you get rejected i'll buy you a milkshake or smth
I feel this
Iβm almost positively moving to Chicago next year so if I have to go to another school besides uchicago or northwestern Iβll be pretty sad
The annoying thing is I spent so much time watching acceptance videos that I KNOW if I donβt see the bubbles, I didnβt get in
Yuppp
yeah i know from the rejection simulator π
So really my biggest anxiety isnβt even about reading the letter, itβs about clicking
The what?
I almost wish they didnβt do the bubbles Iβd rather have to read it than know instantly I didnβt get in
but it also includes a pic of an acceptance
if i open it and see "unfortunately...." that's how i know
"we are sorry but..."
if it doesn't start w "congratulations" then π
Dear natalie,
We regret to inform you that unfortunately, we were able to offer you a spot in the class of 2027. Please confirm your enrollment within the next month.
Thank you,
Dean Nondorf
This is making my stomach turn
Iβm gonna spend my week Christmas shopping to take my mind off of it all
LMAOOO
I just wish we never got false hope it would be mid December
yeah π
FFS
Thatβs too close to Christmas Iβm gonna puke
why is it that every christmas something bad happens to me
my (then) bf blocked me last christmas for no reason
3AM on Sunday would be awesome
this christmas i'm gonna be rejected or deferred from uchicago π
agreed
It would give me an actual valid reason to stay up till 3AM
- Iβd be up anyway because my circadian rhythm is doomed already
I sleep no earlier than 2am and have been like this for many months now
Itβs out already wym
yeah
Theyβve already released Dec date

Me as well. I would've expected an email and Uncommon Blog post
Hopefully

7 days more of cascading into insanity
but this school is so weird man
yep
i think i'll live though
you should pray they make it earlier π
we love you no homo xoxo
i'm actually happy it's weird
@teal mauve uchicago command pls
This thread never gonna die
HiπΌ
hru?
how will I cope for the next seven days
France scoredπͺ
World cup
College decisions make my ocd flare up my brain keeps telling me Iβll get rejected if I donβt turn on the light switch 3 times π
Love you too para
bark
i'm okay
but yeah i relate with exhausted
In a year time we won't even remember about this period πΌπͺ
We'll be scattered between the best colleges
some of us won't be in the best colleges :^)
In any case college doesn't even matter
It depends on us
Top collegea are good only for networking
πππ
umass Amherst has the best food in college
UChicago food nothing on umass Amherst
utd's furry community is nice i'd fit in there soooooo
i'll be chilling at my safety if uchicago and the other T20s don't want me
taking this sticker off my calculator when they reject me fr
Mascot
Cause it is LMOA
I think itβs hella cute
The decision date being next week is very beneficial for EA applicants. It gives kids who got in ED elsewhere more time to withdraw their EA application, thus making the application pool smaller and less competitive.
why are you such a critical thinker
my desperation blinded me from such train of thought
TRUE
OH MY GOD
THATS ACTUAKLY WOW
not good for ED applicants tho
Smh
Oh really wow
They can start working on RD still(even if it's not needed)
Before Christmas
I mean it really doesnβt make a difference if you did EA or ED at that point. Those other kids withdrawing their EAs to UChic moves everyone up, regardless of decision plan.
how are we doing today?
not good at all
FUCK im so nervous
columbia tomorrow uchicago in a week im so KABDIWBFOWJFOEHF
@lilac bridge I really hope you get into Columbia
joe?
*you
I really you
not bao being a grammar nazi
Fr
in art rn, it's a study hall
@lilac bridge you're getting into columbia
i believe in you 
!columbia
π
!uchicago
hai
how are you?
sad
why?
uchicago
π
you seem to be at about the right level of quirk
Iβm sad because Morocco is losing right now
that does bring a smile to me
Are you French?
sent this to the person who got 2nd place in the apush kahoot
French "people"
?
these emojis are too cute
i do not support french rights
think im losing my mind

you are
the French will do the Moroccans the way they did in 732
π
Booo France
it's ok we all are 



i cope by asking people for headpats
I want headpats
I think Iβm going insane
need to get accepted
same
I have 2 stickers on my water bottle (the only two), so I'm gonna have to take them both off after the 21st 
Sure, but I'm ED and need to know if I have to apply somewhere else ...
I just encountered 8274828647273 bad drivers and Iβm pissed asl rn
I don't care much if the EA pool changes like 5 people's acceptances.
Me and the rest of the ED applicants need to know so we can plan for RD, if we have to
Atp I think all people just want it to be out by now
god me too
pls thank you
im expecting a rejection cus π
πΏπΏπΏ
Pain
But
France - Argentina
This gonna be legendary
why is the uchicago mascot so cute
no i'm just saying it's a plus of utd
i'm going there to learn and be an academic obviously
but like
the furry community is def a plus
I can't tell if you're joking or not and it's very amusing
i am irony poisoned
but no in this case i'm being unironic they're p chill over there
the campus culture is cool
the place is generally really chill
- they have a pretty large and chill furry community
also it's 15 min away from me by car
DO YOU SEE ALL THESE APPLICANT NUMBERS GOING UP
What do you mean?
WHAT
whoops sorry for the ping
@warped river UVA Ed+25% applicants, Williams ed +25%, JMU +30% UGA +25%
across the board
jmu and uga are ea
Bruh kms
damn
Can people stop trying to go to college?

which is why im getting rejected!
I WANNA DIE
