I don't know why you feel the need to press these low acceptance rates in our faces

vocal eagle
#

@lilac bridge be confident in your application because you worked very hard and i dont want you to get into a deferral mindset

#

its best to prepare yourself for the worst

broken mason
#

like what exactly are you trying to accomplish here

vocal eagle
#

but you're a very very strong applicant and don't let people tell you you're gonna be deferred

onyx sedge
#

Prove a point that ED round takes 80% of their admitted students

vernal junco
#

yeah idk why we need to even talk about these rates

#

no point when we've already applied

vocal eagle
#

#

i think at the end of the day, all of us are gonna where we'll be happy.

vernal junco
#

you should be fine

stone cosmos
#

and it'll all be okay

vernal junco
#

it's only optional

vocal eagle
#

nah no way

alpine sun
#

Video can only help

#

Not doing it doesnt hurt

vernal junco
#

bro are you trying to murder someone lmao

stone cosmos
#

they don't defer that much. thats what my regional ao said

alpine sun
#

Its just a way to share cool shit

gray geyser
alpine sun
#

Or express yourself

onyx sedge
#

Video doesn't hurt, but it does show demonstrated interest and a different side of you

alpine sun
#

Acceptance rate is always 50%, you either get in or you dont fr

gray geyser
#

real

stone cosmos
#

we will all be okay.

vocal eagle
#

anytime i doubt myself

alpine sun
#

Yeah probs do that before paperwork

vernal junco
#

100% of the time, all accepted students get in

Lmfao

stone cosmos
#

onyx sedge
#

There's probably atleast one each year

gray geyser
#

do you think there are kids who got in off the waitlist because the person who was gonna go died

onyx sedge
vernal junco
#

how else do they do it?

onyx sedge
#

Yea

#

You didn't enroll

vernal junco
#

I wonder what would happen if all students get in and commit but die, would the yield rate be negative then?

lilac bridge
stone cosmos
vocal eagle
#

ill take one for the team

vernal junco
#

let's drive down the yield fr

lilac bridge
gray geyser
#

when i visited uchicago the dean of admissions said he could murder everyone in the incoming class and replace them with waitlist kids and no one would notice

#

so i think they’d just do that

vocal eagle
#

have yall visited the campus

broken mason
#

nope ☑️

vernal junco
gray geyser
#

yeah i did a fall visit day

vernal junco
#

it's so nice in the summer

alpine sun
vernal junco
#

if he hears you say that he's going to replace you with someone on the waitlist

#

and guess what'll happen before

gray geyser
#

tbh he was very entertaining to hear talk

vocal eagle
#

These are from when I visited over the summer

#

so gorgeous but it was sooo hot

gray geyser
#

the libraries are insane

vernal junco
#

alpine sun
#

The campus is the perfect combo of gothic and modern

gray geyser
#

yeah it’s similar to northwestern in that way

vernal junco
vocal eagle
#

the architecture is styled after oxford and cambridge

#

#

I scrolled to the very bottom of all of their social media pages ☠️

#

2016 was not a good year for them photo-wise

gray geyser
#

yeah i mean i had been to open house like two or three weeks prior so i didn’t have to do a Ton of research

daring steeple
#

Valid

Like im not a gargoyle

lilac bridge

the thing that makes me so sad is that

vernal junco
alpine sun
gray geyser
#

MUN is probably the standout of my resume so i connected the opportunity to be staff on their MUN conference to helping kids get interested in global affairs and be confident typing back to my personal statement

broken mason

# lilac bridge the thing that makes me so sad is that

i just kinda lived my life for the last 4 years, sure i focused a lot on academics but thats cus my parents wanted me to keep my grades up, i did some ECs like speech for college (bc i would have had Nothing Else) but i never actually cared much abt them, i work for the money, and some graphic design on the side, but i never did any of the "excellent" "competitive" ECs other people did. i feel like i shot myself in the foot for competitive colleges by just living my life and that makes me so fucking sad bc i want to go to these places! but i didn't want to kill myself with ECs i didnt care abt i just wanted to live and i'm so worried i'm gonna get rejected from selective schools bc of that

gray geyser
#

i wrote about the number of cafes which i recognized was probably a cliche but i was tired and wanted to finish my essay

lilac bridge
#

sorry that was depressing

like even if i wanted to start a non profit or something, i don’t have the resources for that… but some people do and they’re the ones getting in and it’s like ughhhhh

We really only have 30 something years of our life of youth, 25 if you cutoff youth earlier, and 4 years is a ton

# vocal eagle natalie i think we're all really protective over you LOL

i truly love you all so so much like all of this support makes this process so much easier and just 😭❤️ like you all are amazing !!! you're all so sweet and kind and supportive and wonderful and if uchicago can't see that in any of you then that's their loss, because all of you are some of the best people i've met

gray geyser
#

yeah half the stuff on my resume i started in 11th grade

#

and like it’s not that i wouldn’t do it for 3+ years i just couldn’t

broken mason
#

I would say its definitely more worth it to live in the present than chase a more lucrative future

daring steeple
gray geyser
#

but some people have packed resumes even despite that and idk it’s just a little disheartening

lilac bridge
broken mason
#

I don't wanna be old and rich and realize I lived an empty life of grind

#

fill it with experiences 💯

vocal eagle
#

i really hope we have a lot of acceptances

gray geyser
#

you guys all deserve it fr

lilac bridge
#

frfr i hope we all have the best wednesday ever

daring steeple
#

I just don’t wanna get rejected but if I’m being honest getting deferred would be just as bad because then I have to do so many applications 😭

#

Sometimes I think it’s really cruel that you could’ve been rejected before holistic review and they just keep you waiting

alpine sun
#

I would feel bad if i got in tbh. So many much more qualified homies got rejected or deferred this past week

brazen comet
#

i hope i get in uchicago EA

#

“hey bestie nondorf please let me in i did more model un in the meantime between submitting and now”

#

yield doesn’t even look like a word anymore

gray geyser
#

do you think dean nondorf would appreciate me calling him bestie

daring steeple
#

When I went to tour, I went to that spot where it echos, and as I yelled “I’ll get into UChicago” he walked by.

daring steeple

#

I heard he likes that

#

No cap

daring steeple
#

What’s crazy is I didn’t even know about UChi until this summer. Before this I was going to REA Harvard 😬

vocal eagle
#

I’m so nervous for Wednesday but I’m really excited to see which of you guys get in

#

Even if I don’t get in lol I’m really excited to see you guys get in

gray geyser
#

i think i could get deferred but def not in

daring steeple
#

Nah, I’m going in with the mindset that I’ll get in just because I want it really bad

lilac bridge
#

i'm hoping i get in bc then the number of essays i write will drop in half

daring steeple
lilac bridge
#

i'd only apply RD to 3 schools if i got in

#

but if i don't get in. miserable fucking week

I was considering eating an entire tub of icecream

gentle maple
#

MIT brutal with the rejections

#

💀💀

vocal eagle
#

That’s harsh LOL

onyx sedge
#

That's the right way to do it

#

If you're gonna defer a fuck ton of students and most won't make it in, then just deny some

gentle maple
#

Rather than deferring you, we want to be upfront with you, so you can focus on your other college options

gray geyser
#

that’s so harsh but also like at least it’s up front

gentle maple
#

they still did defer 8k/12k applicants

onyx sedge
#

Give the ability to focus on other applications. I like it

gray geyser
#

i don’t wanna get deferred just to get rejected yk

onyx sedge
lilac bridge
gentle maple
#

only 3k rejected out of 12k

#

685 admitted

better than dragging people along tbh
