putting this as an ec in my common app
frigid galleon
it's wednesday my dudes

They easily could’ve done Monday
they could be doing it so ea people who got in ed elsewhere withdraw

I wish they came to you with a guy in a briefcase with your acceptance letter

Ea isnt considered alongside ed i thought
vernal junco
"Sir, you have been accepted, I must escort you to chicago now"

Ea app decisions come out much later
frigid galleon
Ea isnt considered alongside ed i thought
they release at the same time for uc hicago
vernal junco
they come out the same day I think
frigid galleon
so they're considered together
celest path
Glad to not be in the early group
Ppl say its more competitive
Generally, not uchic
alpine sun
Ppl say its more competitive
Rd is like 0.5%
frigid galleon
ea is super bad for uchi
but uchi is underappreciated so ed is generally pretty good iirc
alpine sun
ea is super bad for uchi
Not as bad as rd, uchi is just bad period admissions wise
vernal junco
ed is probably the best bet
alpine sun
Ed used to be 40ish percent
frigid galleon
Not as bad as rd, uchi is just bad period admissions wise
ED @ uchicago is generally v good
celest path
Which is why i didnt ed chic
vernal junco
I don't foresee anyone getting into uchicago EA unless they're like god tier and/or don't have the financial situation to apply ED
alpine sun
ED @ uchicago is generally v good
Oh yeah i meant besides that
celest path
I also dont fully love some things w uchicgao i just wouldnt mind going at all
Hence my not caring about ea
vernal junco
we can only hope ED pool is less competitive vs A2C kids
frigid galleon
thanking god gpa is only considered at uc hicago this year
alpine sun
Ed pool should be better because the ivy try hards arent applying
