😭
so thats nice
Omg guys
I lost my "life of the mind" book. Does that mean rejection ?
what's your degree in?
woof
the cult is coming after you
I lost my virginity so probably
bark
delayed decision
it's just an associates of general studies haha nothing specific
soon to be masters degree
⚔️
stem concentration though
bork
guys i can pin stuff now
ruff ^w^
what the hell oh my god no wayayayayay
yay
What cult
(the sound)
Huh
what stem field you want to go into again?
they're trying to turn uchicago into an ideology
we are the uchicago cult, join us
yeah these epopoe have turned into a cult please disband them and ban them
we already have maoist and marxist propaganda of uchicago
I’m gonna major in A2C Cultural Studies
he is the leader btw
wdym "them", it's you too
i'm not the leader
It already is "Where fun goes to die"
nor did i ever endorse this
you are the leader
wtf
you are the representative
it's not exacttlyyy a stem field but i want to do some sort of environmental/urban studies
Did bro self report 💀
stop trying to pin this on me
the liaison
yes 😭 '
bro he's trying to overthrow you and install communism in A2C
I just want the sanity of my compatriats back
he's the one making the propaganda
you gotta believe me here i would never self-report
ah interesting, so like environmental architecture and etc.?
This is comedy gold
these maoist Uchicago applicants are scaring me 
i'm not a maoist but apocalypsegamer1 certainly is
i kind of want to go more into the urban planning route and work directly with people and the city to help societal issues in chicago, so things like housing, homelessness, etc
Welcome to the regi- errr- I mean college!
this clearly shows that you're in charge
case closed
now you're making political propaganda??
😶
i believe this post is deserving of a pin
you did not 💔
they say yeat you keep evolving, how you so steady with it...
who is yeat
that's really cool! It's great to hear that you're passionate about something, especially since you'll help a lot of people with it
yeat 🤤
thank you ;-;
i'm so gonna fail my psych final dude
the teacher didn't teach shit
like holy shit
☠️
have fun !!
damn that sucks
i have learned NOTHING that entire class
do you need help with ur final para
even when i'm paying attention i learn NOTHING
no i'm just gonna bite the grade tbh
fuck that teacher though
i took dual enrollment psychology that class was pretty hard
fuck wait I gotta do a 4 page essay in 2 hours fuuck
he gives us quizizzes for review and then literally none of the content is from the quizizz
and the quizizz turns out to be useless
definitely the most fulfillment i have ever felt earning an A though
i need to read pride and prejudice asap tbh
or a asummary
my ap lit final is tmrw and i need pride and prejudice for it
definitely the most annoying class i've taken
given how little the course actually teaches
good luck on ur finals yall omg
like 99% of people there cheat but i don't and i just take the shit grades because i'm not gonna lose my honor for that shit
i wish there was another gap year student in this chat i feel dumb as fuck
@daring steeple
LMAO
it's ok biscuit
you're smart in my heart
and i'm sure you're smart irl too
you're uchicago material
nah you'll be good
taking a gap year doesn't make anyone dumber
thank you i needed to hear this
guess what my favorite message ever is
honestly if i dont get into uchicago i know my application is GAS and they'd be denying me over something ridiculously small and stupid
hmm
so idgaf if i get rejected!!!
(i do care but im gonna act like i dont)
this one
(felt that)
easily this one
LMFAOO
HAFHJKL
i fucking love that message
rejection? what is that? that's definitely not something that'll happen to anyone in this thread, heh 😰
i typed that in the breakroom at work snickering to myself
When para crawls under the couch and you can hear his bell jingling 🥺
para if we both get in ill print it out and frame it for you for your door
dorm
i really will
honestly we should stop worrying about uchicago, they've probably already read all of our weird ass messages and decided to reject us anyways
Whoever made the natural selection unit in ap bio can suffer from a stroke
omfg dont say this ill freak out
uchicago is gonna let me in after reading the shit i say fr
dude the ecology stuff is so bad
I forgot it was 5 years of content😶
should've taken apes 💀
my school only allowed 2 aps and they got rid of it after my sophomore year
i literally just coast through APES
we gotta nuke this thread 💀
Ecology was my easiest, biochem was gross asf but short
easiest shit eveer. 10/10 class
Also we don't have apes
biochem is fun imo
never taken any ap science class Tbh
i took aphg and apush and then they decided no more APs
I spent hours per day recovering my chem knowledge deficit from covid
my only APs have been all the history ones except for euro and then ap lit
I gotta leave and finish my paper otherwise I'm never getting it done lmao
be back in an hour or so
Im so ready for college
good luckkk
I wanna like
bye para!
Learn stuff I wanna learn
same
instead of another year of history
my quest will not fucking tell me how much charge it has

who were your top few artists
I found out abt him on Twitter and now my whole friend group knows abt him
Lmao
Kendrick, JPEGMAFIA, BROCKHAMPTON, The Strokes, Kanye (he in fact made graduation)
my top were bladee, alex g, ecco2k, kanye, and japanese breakfast
i saw him live last fall
soooo fire
Drainer lol
you know it
I like E a lot but haven’t listened to much other DG
once you listen to the rest of DG there's no going back
Or so I’ve heard
WHEN UCHI
basketball shoes too omfg
That shit makes me just curl up into a ball every time I hear it
real shit
Black midi is also great
Never thought ants from up there would actually have competition for AOTY but hellfire is almost close
I have like 3 FAVORITE favorite albums and then a lot of other favs
what are ur top 3
LMAO
solid top three albums i respect it
Wbu
if u havent fallen down the alex g pipeline its time
Actually haven’t heard of him
I have but not any of his music
I was on the Brockhampton pipeline
im really bad at ranking but i really like AFUT, jubilee by japanese breakfast, race by alex g, and room on fire from the strokes
1000 minutes of BH in like 3 weeks
I am lol
I prefer is this it and the new abnormal to ROF
But I’m an early grad gap year student lolol
I COULD be
I should’ve been a senior rn but instead I’m a preschool teacher who hates his life 😍
i was honsetly pretty late to the BH train but my bf was like brockhampton's biggest fan for a while so we own a shit ton of nick holiday's brand and bc of him i've heard so much lmfao
dont sweat it bc i hate my life too
gap year vibe
we’re implementing a new curriculum in Jan which is making me mad because you should never change curriculums until the start of the following year
EVERYBODY has a Brockhampton phase
Who’s Brock Hampton
rap group
ive only listened to sugar
oh
listen to WASTE real quick it’s life changing
theyre not rly rap
Wu Tang mixed with One Direction fr
ye
I have to clean my room tomorrow
i need to meet some alex g heads at uchicago for real
I’ll listen soon
Walking my dog rn and I was planning on listening to BCNR so
brb
just dont listen to his like top 5 on spotify or whatever u use because those are all the songs that randomly got kinda big on tiktok and those songs kinda suck lmfao
I wanna see if I recognize any
I guess I don’t
dude
its actually killing me
I realize im going to need to go through this shit 129839182391 times
cus uchicagos decision date is the last one
everyones posting their college admissions im like
Yeah I know it’s so stressful
I don’t even know if I’m going to college yet I haven’t gotten 1 decision back
i got my state school decision back but like i already knew that was auto-admit for me 💀
Relatable
I have a couple auto admits I just haven’t gotten decision yet
ah
it makes it a bit less stressful knowing that if nothing else, youll be going to college next year
but i mean
safeties arent at the top of most ppls lists
yeah especially since i wanna get out of state
dont get me wrong i was really happy knowing i got into college
but at the same time (and it is a little messed up to think like this) i feel like i will have accomplished more by getting into a Good school yk
Good as in like
yeah makes sense
we gaslight ourselves into thinking prestige doesnt matter but to employers it does 😭
fr 😭
uchicago will look so much better on my resume than like university of nevada like
I think it depends on the industry
yeah i get how you feel
to me, i think i could be happy going to my state school, but also i just want more
like i've worked so hard for 3 years and i want more than a state school
what state tho
like UMD and UVA arent even that bad
illinois
uiuc is good tho?
uiuc is good but i'm not going into cs
quit bc i was sweatingg so hard it lubricated the controllers and one just flew out of my hand while i was playyionog
multiple times
really annoying
i should use the wrist straps but those are even more annoying to deal with
bc they're like buckled to you and make your performance worse
me rn
i go to a feeder school
idk if that increases or decreases my chances tho
cuz my gpa aint it 💀
public charter/magnet or private
public
i aint readin allat
i aint readin allat
i took an a2c sub copypasta about yale and adapted it to uchicago
fine you guys don't get the glorious copypasta
lol ok
the title of the original was "my boyfriend broke up with me because i talk about yale too much"
This was amazing
saw this and was just about to post it
i'm a combination of the strategic ed + the rolling action before ed + the wants-to-get-it-over-with
uchicago is hella competitive don't get me wrong but the ed pool is slightly smaller than most schools
So ready for Friday school and Thursday night
Ivy leaguers
And their rejections or hoodies
potential networking material
I’m like 3 of these
looking to bag a T20 Success person
I might be a T20 success person soon
how so
How many UChicago acceptances last year
currently the "wants to get it over with," most realistically the deferred/rejected, but hopeful t20 success
same thing with this year ngl, or im assuming
theres been a huge boom in applicants everywhere
22
my safety went from like 7.5-8k to 10k+ applicants
I'm always skeptical when people say feeder because public feeders are rare af
Do I just email Uchicago AO to withdraw my application?
the year before that was 51 tho
there's a form on the portal
!emory
portal
did you get into emory?
Ye
No way a public school has 51 uchicago acceptances
theres a form on the portal
i concur with the others
frr thats insane
there is a form on the portal
Chicago public school maybe
Thanks
now please withdraw your uchicago application ❤️ we need more space for us
its nyc ;p
magnets
Oh NYC makes more sense
my public school is lowk a feeder for the UCs. basically like 80% of my senior year goes to a UC
900
sheeesh 900 isn't all that much
thats crazy
what typa public are you smoking in NYC
@charred rivet to withdraw your app
- go to https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/account
- sign in
- click on the Application Withdrawal Form (right side)
- fill it out
is it public like anyone can attend?
My public got like 30 kids into mit
once again, congrats on emory!!
i think we had an alum as an AO the year before last
Thanks
but he retired
it's a great school i am certain you'll love it there
LMAO PARA 😭 not u trying to get them to withdraw asap
is this stuyvesant type shit
@charred rivet what major?
is it a real public @azure tundra
^^^
quite possibly
Bio
i'm just helping them out
like anyone can move to the area, get districted, and attend
And I want to minor in Econ
love that for us para
gotta take a test 2 get in
Indeed and good for pre med
defo stuy
u know whats up
isn’t stuy more magnet like
NC has one called NCSSM that basically feeders to t10 schools
whats stuy?
ohhh
I Heard of that school
idk all this jargon
basically you are not considered public public
interesting
damn bro lookin it up n all that
no bro its completely unnatural
to be anxious
oh sorry 

who isnt
but you have a fking week
can't wait for it to go away in a week and be replaced with depression instead
it doesnt matter
kinda but idk why tbh
you can be anxious again on monday
I wanted to see what it was and i saw the one world trade center in the background of the pic it suggested
bro being wednesday kinda sucks
well if you're in Stuy then yeah thats a feeder
frr tlothomas21
ah
stuy kids are insanely smart tho
its such a big school and eveyrone there is def qualified
NY kid?
yeah ofc
I would not have survived there so no wonder
any school that you need to take a test to get into and its completely free is insane
i want to make an instagram for my school's "college decisions" to see where everyone ends up ngl 💀
whats tj?
bro thats my school 💀
we have a school in NC called NCSSM and its pretty much the same. + you get auto full ride to UNC or any state school
omg thats crazy
and they send a shit ton of kids to MIT and all that stuff
damnn
unc is fire
https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/zm37tx/why_did_they_send_me_this_the_day_before/
anyone wanna tell him 💀
i think my school sends like 1 kid to the ivies and everyone else goes to state schools usually
my school is public public but we're honestly pretty darn good for it
this just means ur in a rich area
yeah fs esp considering out of all of us youre the only uchicago admit so far
we had 1 cornell 2 stanford 1 harvard 1 yale 1 uchicago and uhh what else
DAMN
1 upenn as well and probably more t20's
we are in a wealthy area I will not deny
thats a dream
tell him what
oh day before decisions
you see a lot of hispanics and african americans at our school
prob at least 30-35%
wait can someone screenshot the photo cause my Reddit is acting up
we have so few aa's at my school
decisions aren't tomorrow
lot of hispanics and asians
yeah
if I got that shit then I would have a heart attack lol
bark
SAME
that's so fucking evil of them
literally the exact same size colleges send decision letters in
they knew what they were doing
i would get a heartattack
its next week
I got a package yesterday
not tmr
but lowk i feel like thats what happens when u use like 5 emails to sign up for collegevine or smth
and was like shaking at the mailbox lmfao
omg LOL
time to start actively portal astrologying
lmao people on college confidential are already doing that for my safety school 💀
currently i am assuming i got rejected or deferred
LMFAOO
you know
when i submitted to my safety
i was obsessively checking my portal in the 6 days it took me to get accepted
bro I just realized
"oh u have a 1500? yk maybe you should try cc for a year"
can you imagine if ChatGPT or other ML models get bonded with khanacademy or other learning platforms so that it learns to teach humans the most efficiently?
i just want to study in the quadrangle
wait that would be crazy
same 😭
where do you even see that
i just wanna wear cat ears on the quadrangle 💔
I wanna see every single thing thats related to admissions date uchicago
i feel like i forgot something in my application idek
it's a crop of the annoucnement post
uchicago admissions website
OH SHIT WHAT
like what if i forgot to submit a form
FACTS
just check the checklist lolmao
WHAT CHECKLIST
oh my god it's real
i dont have one
like imagine learning the entirety of calculus in an hour because it's able to generate the perfect lesson plan for you
in the portal..?
the checklist is gone now
oh
i dont have one
the portal checklist has dissapeared
did you get an email saying your app was complete
no if the checklist is gone that means you're accepted ❤️
then you're good
like the one w your AOs name and stuff right?

I still have checklists lol
yep
ok yay
yeah the finaid checklist should still be there
I have a forms checklist too

of anything
I just wanna see a pic of someones forms checklist 🥹

wtf
Dummy
maya me
socie
YOOOOO
They finally gave us the real shit
bruh
I just finished my book report
I did it on the limits of growth 💯
so let's say hypothetically i have a final tmrw
and a lot of it is about pride and prejudice
but i haven't read it
where is the best place for me to read a summary so i can cram the key info
sparknotes
@frigid galleon @onyx sedge do u guys have same role
Yea haha
That's one way to say it
idk i kinda forgot
i kinda forgot
thanks xoxo
no i unironically did
i have minor issues with forgetting things
didn't know we needed to know pride and prejudice until the last minute
and you wonder why i say i need to see a psychologist
well no
i didn't know it was gonna be on the final
i know all the other books and plays that are on the final
just not pride and prejudice
Deny: After much consideration, we are unable to offer you a place in the Class of 2027. There is no process for appealing admissions decisions. We wish you the best as you pursue your educational goals.
this little blurb terrifies me
its at the bottom too so when i read last year's uncommon blog post, i didnt realize being rejected was an option ED/EA
i thought it was just deferral
would u guys rather be deferred or rejected
deferred
they don't reject
Rejected
rejected
so i can ed2
oooo thats cool for usc
im loyal til the end
id probably want to be rejected too tbh no false hope or whatever
I can't handle the pain any longer
wait if you get rejected u cant apply ED II right?
yea
Yea
yea
ooo
ooo
000
0w0
no
uWu

<m>
^w^
im muzzling all of you
/M/
try me
rejected
-w-
at least i'm not being strung along for another 3 months
agreed
*w*
~w~
w>
im gonna be strung along by another school anyways
<w<
Ow<
i may as well just ed2 the same school
wO
OwU
UwO
maybe they will see my dedication
UwU
only if you write it
you're gonna have to buy my admissions counseling package for that bud
titled "UChicago"
how much is that
too expensive
LMFAO
let’s do $5
$250
i want to get into a t10 to scam rich high schoolers for "special consulation meeting from a t10 accepted pre-frosh"
halved
LMFAO
$40 doubled
$63
deal
the art of bargain
i refuse to watch jreg videos
missing out
if you don't watch jreg videos you should at least watch his spoken word poetry
it's really good
👎
too lazy
DECEMBER 21???
😭
bruh that's so cringe
ik
frfr should've been with ED decisions smh
frfr
woof
YEAH
that's the point
happy 12k besties
i think it's part of the point at least
sigh
happy december 14 to you
cease woofing
since ur decisions are later you may beat cornell one day
this is not cornell
LMAOOO
by letting EA applicants who were accepted elsewhere withdraw, uchicago is increasing their admissions rate and also giving more spots to ED and other EA applicants
we probably will
ik
That would be kinda cool
cornell will die out and we'll still be going strong
I want to go to a t10 so i can give my nonexistant future kids legacy
o that's a good theory
wait what
bark
i wonder if utd gave me my finaid yet
We started at 4k yesterday morning
cornell is just shy of 17k
we’re gonna beat cornell soon
No, because ED kids most likely aren't withdrawing. Only EA is affected positively
think about it
I have
the pool is less competitive if a lot of applicants withdraw
Yea, but the EA and ED pools are separate
there are only a finite amount of seats
finite seats different pools
Our pool is unaffected because we all applied ED, so very few people are going to withdraw

they might allocate extra seats
to borderline ed candidates
They allocate 1/4 of their class to each pool.
they do?
wait how do you know this
where is the data on this
Yes
i'm gonna need a source on that
this is cap
^
they accept a lot ED
this is cap
The AOs talk about this on tours
theyre lying
lol
lol
they may be making generalizations
but the AO i saw
did not say this
they highly suggested ED
well 17k in college megathreads in the last 24h
The AOs told us explicitly that they allocate (almost exactly) 1/4 of their class to each pool
that's pretty cool
i'm literally only active bc of this thread
like i don't talk anywhere else
woof ^w^
So, if people withdraw from EA, then our pool is unaffected. We don't get any benefit from this delay
chicago accepts 80% from EA/ED
thats a bit more
than 50%
also highly doubt ED2 is 25%
thats insane if true
bro mafumafu has such a cute voice
top for the channel
i stay winning
🗿
im winning demonstrated interest fr
bonk
don't bonk me
bonk
wtf
"If UChicago accepts 80% of its class from EDs"
The 80% figure was posed as a hypothetical, not as a definite. It was never actually disclosed, merely speculated. I am taking the word of the Admissions office over reddit.
I agree, it does sound odd, but that's what they said
where was the site
bonk
I'm referring to your article/reddit source
nah im just trying to find
another article
i saw a bit ago
that had data on this
Ok
omg number 10 🤭🤭🤭
Maybe do a few blood sacrifices
I heard it was a LOT more than this
Ive heard speculation was that it was around 60-80%
I've been told it is, but I trust the AOs
i was gonnna say 🤣
What?
it being 80% benefits you
Agreed
nah idk uchicago cares a lot about yield so it makes sense theyd admit mostly thru ED
But they said very clearly "all rounds get allocated a fourth of our admitted class
where
its ok my safety is hogwarts
so if i don’t get in, guess i wont be with dirty muggles
we could honestly probably find out with a mass scale survey
Maybe they were lying though b/c they said right after that "All application rounds have an equal chance for admission"
we just survey the entirety of one class
My tour
Well, it was in response to "which round should we apply to for best chance at acceptance"
It was a woman
unpreadatory loan shark
that one girl capping out of her ass to get you to apply
Probably tbh
I concede. It shall from now on be considered ~80%
i kind of believe the 25/25/25/25 split
I don't for a second
i don’t believe it
for one, I feel like that would make ED2/EA the most accepted
it's just that a large amount apply EA and RD so those acceptance rates are far lower
it's not as large as RD
It simultaneously does and doesn't make sense. Like logistically, it makes lots of sense. But what reason do they have to do that? Also, how do they get such a high yield if they're taking 1/4 from RD?
but it's definitely bigger than ED
that 1/4 from RD is in actuality a very small amount
and it's people they think will actually attend
Yea, but it accounts for 1/4 of their yield rate, so how can their yield rate still be 83% (the nations 2nd highest) if they are taking 1/4 from RD (when uChicago is considered sub-ivy by many)
It just doesn't make sense from that POV
also ed2 being the same as ed is insane
i dont think it makes sense because im almost positive ED2 is like
nobody applies
which wuld make ED2 insane acceptance rate
True, but even then A. It's hard to tell and B. RD rounds have a super low yield generally
assuming 99% of ed and ed2 attend
new strat jsut dropped?
that would be 50% yield rate base on your prediction
the 2025 freshman class had 2,053 students... 1/4 of that is not a large amount
and a 60% yield for ea and rd
those RD acceptances are probably legacies let's be real
to get 80% overall yield
legacies ed im pretty sure
ah
most schools incentivise legacy ed
i wanna give my kid a sweet ass legacy deal cause tulane sure as hell didnt give me that lol
my mom went
they dont really care about legacy afaik
I'm defintiely not buying equal for all rounds
Legacy is a stupid ass system that should be abolished so good on Tulane
because a shit ton of people apply ED
yet its usually rumored that ED has an insanely high acceptance rate(still mid 10's)
yeah i agree
literally systemic inequality in action
but still....... me needing money a lot right now
Exactly why it peeves me when legacy makes up a huge percentage of top schools' admitted student base
I've gotten tired of trying to fight system inequality and i'm just trying to get ahead in the system
Let's abolish legacy
um is this true LMAO
Yes
are you sureee
I think Harvard doesn't
i dont want to squander my opportunities to go rot on wall street lmao
That's what I was told 🤷
frommmm
SupertutorTV
what.....
They don't
It came up by happenstance
She only makes videos for those of us that are struggling alone in this process
if anyone here gets deferred ED are you gonna move to ED2 you think?
prob not
I'm declining my deferral most likely
no i'll ED2 at a college that actually wants me 💀
is there a chance u can get deferred twice from ed2 to rd lmfao
Technically yes?
Maybe
If I get deferred I'm ED2ing to HMC
unfortunately the list of schools that allow ed2 none of them really appeal to me 😭
so id probably end up moving to ed2
Fair
for uchicago
lmfaooo
Never heard of em
you sound like my parents
Lmao
The amount of people that don't know about uChicago despite it being #6 nationally and #10 globally is absurd to me
yeah i agree it's really strange
The amount of typos I make genuinely concerns me for my chances at uChicago
Ugh
My anxiety has never been greater
I have to wait for both CWRU and uChicago and they're both my dream schools
If I don't get into either I'm so screwed
when does cwru come out
did they also say mid december?
so ur telling me if i get rejected from uchicago i wasted my legacy
😭
Lmfao
"wasted" 💀
i mean yeah if i knew this was the case i might have just rea-d there instead
Fair
howd u guys get the role
Mods needed some help
they never marketed
what perms do u have
They started marketing a few years ago with a massive new push to increase publicity
So yea, they didn't before
But they are now 😄
We don't have anything special
Dw about that
I actually don't know what we have, but I do know that I can pin messages
literally i was talking to a lady today and she was like ?? uchicago ?? what’s that
Ikr, it's crazy
"more prestigious than half the ivies" -oop
literally 🤭🤭🤭
mood
im loyal til the end
