tihi
their heads are pretty big too
I know that's our eternal struggle
We get the pterodactyls to grab em and drop em to us
Who peels them?
I don't
Menace
I got for the hamburger bite outta the side usually
you gotta make sure the pterodactyls don't go down on you to get the bananas back
Unironically, my uncle actually does that
They sometimes do 😭 they are fucking bullies, trying to always bait us
Bananas are anxiety inducing for that reason
Like all birds, you just need to beat them off and they'll fly away
so 12am is when this chat goes wild
LMFAO
Nah, more like pterodactyl-shit crazy
See what I did there?
Worst joke I've made in awhile tbh
uchicago admits based on your joke game
I'm auto admit then
Can we even classify that as a joke?
Cringy intellectual jokes
no. but we can classify @onyx sedge as a joke
Intellectual is a stretch
THEREFORE
Indeed
Auto admit
you got the whole squad laughing
lmao
Bro, no
At me
It’s okay. If they let Rex in, they have to let you
I think it is
In fucking tears 😭
Wednesday needs to get here sooner
They should just release decision’s tomorrow at 3AM
What if I just emailed my AO and said “Should I start working on RD applications?”
they should release me from the purgatory that is not knowing my home for the next 4 years
who was the 100k message?
waht was it?
Not sure
DAMN LMAO
the whole thing combined
Check #🤖-bot-commands
no balls do it
I joined like 3 days ago and only type here 💀
it's like 641 from us
I want to but also what if it ruins my chances
wednesday
afternoon is when youll know if you can do it or not LOL
the smart option^
They may laugh, but your decision has already been made and they're not gonna move you off of accept/defer because of that
Did y'all see that graph of activity in #🤖-bot-commands
That's crazy
Just dropped off a cliff
Yeah, you’re right. Plus he’s a Gen-Zer. He’ll understand
But also y’all might be praying for my downfall
GOD damn that grap
Patience is a virtue
"grap"
Yeah
+h
Why is grap?
Fuck, I’m screwed
No but actually we all have to get in so I can see your faves during o week
No you're not
And we can all buy each other milkshakes
And then gush about our favorite part of Homer's Odyssey
Lowkey
unrealistic, we would more likely be talking about bananas and dinosaurs
next uchi quirky prompt: overripe or underripe bananas? inspired by the A2C UChicago ED EA thread, bunch of quirky mfs
Lmfao
"What is ripeness? Can it even be defined?"
We will now explore the ins and outs of the definition of ripeness for 2479 words
lowk want to get into uchicago just to make a prompt
i wonder how they choose which prompt they include in the apps
apparently some "unique" prompts get chosen by students so much that they make them official prompts
like the "is a hot dog a sandwich" prompt
If I get into uChicago, should I submit this prompt?
"There is no such thing as a new idea" - Mark Twain. Twain argues that our ideas are merely an amalgam of the thoughts and ideas of the past. In reality, what qualities make a “new idea” “new” or original? Is originality of thought or idea possible? Explain.
—Inspired by ||---------------||, (Class of 2027?)
bro if I get in I want to submit the prompt:
"Why should we reject you from UChicago? List all reasons in a songlike fashion."
LMFAO
fr you gotta just make the kids reject themselves
no need to have an admissions committee
I could see that prompt actually working though. You can tie your flaws back to reasons they make you awesome and unique
You could talk about how they've shaped your life and created who you are today, and how you're actually grateful for what could initially be considered a flaw.
Lots of opportunities to show wisdom
How did a joke unironically become a good prompt
Well, except for the song-like part
YES
YES YE SYES
HAHAA
TREX U KNOW I LOVE THAT PROMPT IM SO SERIOUS
LIKE THATS SO COOL I WOULD LOVE TO WRITE AN ESSAY ON THAT
So, I should?
yes submit
if uchi doesn't give u enough aid what would ur 2nd choice be
cwru? nice
You?
upenn
been researching for the academic why penn supp and its gonna make the rejection hurt so much more cus i rlly love this major 😭
Penn State or uPenn?
2 of my good friends got into penn ed and i like the school so id be v happy if i get there rd (if rejected uchicago)
upenn
Damn, I feel that. Researching for why uChicago just made the realization that I'm not gonna get accepted hurt so much more
but realistically, if i don't get into upenn, i hope NEU takes me bc i like their co-op program
why college essays are so brutal !! like you make me fall in love just to reject me !!!!!
Like, I love their whole ideology towards learning and connect with it on such a fundamental level, and missing out of that is gonna suck
Wednesday is gonna suck
Opening that letter right after my meeting
Then crying
Okay, maybe not crying, but close
the thing abt penn is that they have a concentration in the specific major i want, & it's exactly what i want with so much customizability ... ugh i'm just sad thinking abt it bc i'll never get to experience it
LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME WITH UCHICAGO
That's the other reason I'm applying (going)
Maybe
btw i've decided to make a chanceme form similar to tyrannosaurus (specifically for UChicago) , will post in a sec lol
Kk
Delete the https when you first post it, then add the https back in through an edit
oh ok
hey hey chin up!! i have so much faith in you, from your chanceme stats i believe you have a really good chance of getting in esp since you ED'd, and you're so passionate about what you want to do and about uchicago and i'm confident that'll show up in your essays and impress the AOs. you got this & good luck man, i'm rooting for you
the chanceme culture has reached the UChicago forum
I hope 🥺
true
Thank you Natalie
we need to get it out
Facts
all of us have a 100% chance, no need to chance us to get the answer
most active megathread i swear
we're building a little uchi family alrdy
its ok everyone is sm nicer here than on actual chance me
gotta get a head start on that class of 27 bond since we're all getting in
plus ily all of you here
frl bruh
Natalie, you always talk about how Biscuit is so amazing, but you forget to mention how awesome, kind, sweet, and compassionate you are as well. You've literally made the day of at least two or three people here, and you lift this thread up as a whole. Thank you for being who you are
like a2c reddit chance me is terrifying
Literally or figuratively??!!
hey I mean, I guess we're all legacies then
HAHA
Oh god
Just behind Cornell
Cornell is unmatched
Fun fact: I make up 10% of the messages in this thread
Bruh I be reading some of the chanceme shit on reddit and that shit just deflates me ☠️
R/ChanceMe is so toxic
me when the guy who won every single olympiad and owns microsoft gets rejected from all T100 schools
I swear everyone on Reddit lies
Literally makes me want to cry
literally
I've honestly wanted to give up after seeing stuff like that
which is why we need to keep that stuff out of here
no one is going to give up here
I only read chanceme posts when I want to go troll
r/ChanceMe is almost the reason I gave up on some of my apps
by the time wed rolls around we'll be the most active
Defo
same ngl
and then deleted the next day 😭
do it by tonight now
real
i don't look at r/chanceme bc i don't need to feel worse abt myself 😭
We were at 16k yesterday, we should be set by tomorrow
GANG shit fr
Nas, fill out my chance me
k where
There @daring steeple
Yea, we popped off today
we all gotta just stick together during this time
They can't delete us. I will personally attack Carly if that happens
I promise I won't leave y'all
done
Thanks Nas 💗
❤️
fr this has been such a fun thread and everyone here is so nice
i truly hope yall get in
great people with great potential
No but for all of us that get in, new GC immediately. These vibes can’t be wasted
And we're going to change the world with that potential
amen
hoping im that 1% of ea applicants that gets accepted so i can be invited to the GC LOL
theres no set date for this stuff right
for what?
wait 12/21
Check pins
decision date
did anyone end up figuring out how many ea applicants they do end up accepting? like percentage wise?
Don’t joke, you know you will be accepted
where sir
Lol, that's in our pins
we're still doing this right?
Yes
Yes
I'll be @ing some of y'all
okay thats good!!
i rly want to have this thread as peaceful as possible that day lol
why this mf lie
Agreed, that's why we said that
same
did u do ED or EA
Y'all are free to post deferrals and rejections, but I think we agreed that we keep acceptances out so everyone can still enjoy the thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a5ApoqrpDw
this is going to be us next year fs
right. so yes this is pretty accurate but in my defense i've been sleeping earlier!! on average!! except the night i edited this (and writing this description... it's currently 5:41am UMM)
but yeah! if you guys have any suggestions to improve the editing let me know :) I'm trying to go with my gut to develop my ~own~ style, but super open to a...
Yesssss
lowkey. "mid-december" my ass, dec 21 is not mid dec
fr
LMAO yes
on the day of, we have to just chill and all play games together
Fucking late december
ea
I'm down asf
I wonder if we should set up an mc server or something
This still pisses me off
i think someone figured it out that 20.5th of december is the last day considered mid december LOL so yeah 21 is not mid december at all
or play on an existing one
@vernal junco if you can set that up for us, that would be legit
ah dear uchi, quirky to the very end
LMAO FR
gotta push the boundaries of mid december
did u get into ur ed/rea
no lmfao wbu
my biggest flex was getting into fsu and getting a full ride when i dont even meet any of these LOL
Trying to push the boundaries literally
nope
twins
perfect
northwestern hates me but itds whartever
i think ramen said this but i also agree w them that our decisions will be released at 21:12 chicago time bc it's late AFTER noon
I'll try, although haven't done that before
That's epic. Good job mate
my internet might not be good altho we can all probably play on an existing server
I can help as well
makes me have some hope for my other t20-t50 schools
I know of some free hosting services
oh wait
Lwestern
where'd u ed/rea
fr
Good luck mate!
nah they're yield protecting
thank you ❤️ you too
Where'd you apply?
no rea but i did mit and uchicago and usc ea
idc they shouldve admitted me
i was literally ed 😭
did u get deferred mit
im gonna make a chance me form
yea soft rejected
damn i'm sorry
we fr gotta stop with the chancemes
uiuc? or uic
mit? more like MID
all 3 of us at our school got deferred 💀
uiuc
i think a whole friend group in mine also did but idk for sure LOL
i agree
ea for that isn't out until late jan i think, whatd u apply for
holy shit good luck man
wbu
uiuc i applied atmospheric sciences
does the 2nd major we put into commonapp for uchicago matter
i put in east asian studies assuming aos would see it
@daring steeple Did you do a video?
same i put math assuming aos would see it
unless uiuc gives me a lot of money i might just go to fordham instead 😭
idk if they admit by major
Fuck
inshallah they dont, i just want it to tie into my story
i think one of my recommenders wrote that I wanted to major in math 💀 but then i put econ as my first choice of major LOL so hopefully they dont notice that
Oop
That's probably not a huge deal unless they made a point out of it
i cant tell if youre saying it ironically
noo but isnt uiuc cheaper on base
cuz in state
?
it's ok technically i want to go into the more mathy side of econ so hopefully it doesnt confuse the AOs too much esp w my second choice major being math
my ecs were more public policy ish tho so i did econ instead of a stemy major
"inshallah"
oh im muslim
Oh, that's really cool. I heard that econ at uChicago is a lot more mathy, so that may be a good thing
oh word same

yeah but if i get merit from fordham, i'd rather go to lincoln center in nyc than be stuck in urbana champaign for 4 yrs
ik some people that arent and use it as a joke so i wanst sure
yeah its been popularized recently
lmfao frrr
i see i see
i love how every convo is also in it's own separate area. like none of them intersect
Yea
This conversation is confusing
hahaha
Love how quirky we are
Why am I up at 1 AM
I should sleep
same 💀
Be quirku
i'm up because studying for finals
nono
Helps your chances
i wanna wake up early to watch the WC tomorrow
and procrastination
if you go to bed, the sooner you get your decision
cus think abt it, thats more hours unconscious
argentina or france, guys vote!
so time flies
At sleep deprivation thus psychosis?
I forgot about that until now 😭
Yes
If I stay up any longer I'm going to start seeing things
Correlation between correct world cup winner guess and getting into uchicago
new poll
but acc can we do one for videos
omg yes
Your brain waves will be detected by the AOs and they'll move you from deferred to accepted
like if you did a video or not
Good, I get rejected earlier so I can work on rd apps lol
ooo true
itsmeomg asks: did you do a video for the uchicago application? yes or no
omg natalie me too 😭
man maybe i shouldve done the vid
NO I DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE ANYONE REGRET
my sister got in w/o
😭😭😭 i just didn't care back then
I WAS JUST Curious
I would imagine that it would be quite important especially for ED to help differentiate between who wants to go and who WANTSSSS to go
💀
nah its ok
she said most her friends didnt do it
did she get in ED EA or RD tho ....
same lmfaoo
That was gold
most ppl she knows r ed
ah shit
my irl didnt do it either. she did ea im pretty sure (and got in)
i heard from another person that most ppl they knew did it
so ig its by friend group???
we need a long study on friend groups and their tendency to allign in willingness to do uchicago videos
fr
I wonder if I'm going to get rejected from uchicago just because of my video lmao
I sound like an idiot when talking in it
afaik i'm the only one from my school who even did a portfolio 😭
You think you do, but they don't
Fr i started rambling and talking about bananas
More than what most people did lol
why bananas
Don't look at the conversation we had an hour back lmao
You started it as well lmao
AUTO-ADMIT??????
ao will kill me
Mine was 3, don't worry about it too much. I've heard that a lot of accepted students had videos that were over 2 minutes by a decent amount. @vocal eagle can you confirm?
Nah it was crazy I got to meet the president too during my video and did a vlog with him
oh ok thank god
mine was 2:39
That's prolly safe then
I think the video is supposed to supplement an interview. It’s not the worst thing to not submit
It is to replace the interview
good bc i wouldn’t do interviews either. i’d be an auto reject w the amount i stutter
But also, I think it's a super unique opportunity to change their reception of who you are
I love it, personally
Especially since it’s better to not have a video than submit something that could hurt your chances. That’s why I didn’t do mine
I compared the core to a banana, where if you peel back the layers of the banana, you get to the sweet core
im not trying to portal astrologize but i think i didnt get into uchicago
i sent my fafsa so long ago and my portal still says not reciebved
same i love the idea. i’d have done it if i cared more for uchicago in september
like weeks ago
And this is why you’re guaranteed
but they all of my other stuff
including css anf financial aid docs
uchicago is like a banana
smh
Bro, contact their admissions office
That's an issue
Good
is it because yall rejecting me LOL
thatwould be wayyy to obvious
I'd Venmo you $20
Don't say that 😭
Let’s be for real
At the same time, I appreciate it
You and Ramen and locked in
Stop saying that no
You're gonna jinx it
Me too! I have uChicago stuff hidden around the video for them to find
that was me in my uncommon essay
I wanted to keep it entertaining so they could see how much AO dick I suck
jinxes don't exist ❇️
i like my uncommon essay more than my common app ngl
I'm just worried I wasn't good at talking
SO FUCKING RELATABLE
its ok most ppl are bad at talking
we all just fake it till we make it ig
😭
True
But you can't be most people to get in 😭
I just hope I didn't come off as annoying to them or someth
goodnight
gn guys!!
Sleep well peeps
Get the rest you need for success tomorrow
Get ready to slay the day
1 day closer to acceptance
Woot woot
Wednesday starts with a W for a reason
Ready to wear my new uChicago scarf to school fr
smh stole my joke
Boutta crack 21k messages, damn
can yall do mine?
Add back the https now
Yea, we locked out
try now?
no lol its just my personal domain email
Add back the https
@onyx sedge does it work now
In an edit
done
I meant for the new link
done
See, voila. Not banned
haha
Still need permission to access the form though
bruh wth
On the bright side, I just surpassed 3k total messages
Share it with my Gmail account
let me make a copy w my regular gmail
👍
Works
ye
what do i put if
idk anytyihng
abotu that uni
💀
hell!
just ur best guess
traumatizing the next generation of kids 😎
gotta pay it forward
also i noticed i put deferred on some of the ones that are RD
Stop the chance mes please
Hahaha
They make me feel good about myself though
Make me feel like I could actually do it
Like I've got a shot
i need an acceptance to uchicago bc that’s the only way i’m turning my insta back on LOLL
i’m only redownloading my instagram if i get a t15 acceptance soooo
the dream
I have "uChicago '27?" In my bio. I hope nobody looks me up
SAMEEE
esp since my cousins my age got into upenn already
💀
i only use insta rn to keep up w ppl's stories to see who got in
cus if everyone's getting rejected then maybe i'm not the issue
I just don't check Instagram unless I'm sleuthing a college's insta account
Almost to 21k
Sheessh
Literally so close
god, studying for ap calc and bio is a RIP
i hate whoever discovered natural selection
Want help?
yes
Natural selection is great
stuff like speciation
Just broke 21,000
only because i worked myself half to death studying it over the past few weeks for an important test-
I took Bio two years ago, so idk how much I can help
WORD
I feel that
yeah 😭
I'll follow @stable yew
Only if you vote on this poll and the other one in pins @stable yew
Please 🥺🙏
@stable yew
That help?
How
if you get deferred from uchicago
You get to choose
Stay here then
alr
Hahahaha
I'm joking
banned
Maybe I should be more careful about it in that case...
No chance
we'll be alive til feb
That's my birfday
assuming we dont all get straight up rejected
my birfday is uiuc decision day so uiuc better accept me if i get rejected from uchicago
If some of us get deferred, I'll still cheer y'all on til the very end
that would be terrifying
If UIUC don't accept you, I'm throwing hands
even if i get rejected i’ll always come back to this thread to support my ed2 future uchicago ‘27 a2cers
same tbh
Hoping for a deferral because that means daddy uChic still wants me
a rejection is going to sting so bad
exactly!!
Carizzly is watching this like "yea, they all about to get rejected"
Rizz up the AOs
A rejection or deferral will burn
I'm glad it coming out after finals for me
Like the day after
Mine comes out right before break, so I'm either having a great break or shitty break
when results out
jeez thats a long tome
that was me this whole past week
uchicago27!!
Well is it because your friend started the account after those seemingly legit ones were started?
Yes
He ran the 2026 one too though
Dont know why he made another one but just trying to manifest haha
I mean who cares then. I'm gonna follow the one that already has like 5 people posted on it
Sorry mate
not following unless i get accepted
A2c is ruining my self confidence bruh holy shit
They aren’t everyone
i opened college-talk instead of this channel
and i was so confused as to why it was so active
anyway i think we're gradually getting more and more decision talk
and i am scared for decisions
so i will simply ignore this thread for 3 days
good luck to all of you
i love you all no hetero
💀based
We’re doing too many chance mes in here lol
i will come back after decisions have released because college talk rn is going to fuck my mindset up
imo it's unhealthy to be just thinking about decisions for the few days before decisions release
too anxiety-inducing
You’re definitely right
don't intentionally do that to yourself
It doesnt help that im on break
anyway bye guys cya in like 3 days
So its all thats on my mind rn
Byeeeee
i'm on break too 💔
baiiii :3
ily guys no hetero
except for the men. i love you all full homo.
🫡
cya in 3 days. i will miss you all.
True, and some definitely exaggerate to show off and make other people feel bad
We got one Duke lol
I got anxious af during MIT decisions
and came to this server 300 times
not gonna do that with UChicago, cya people in 3 days (just so I can keep checking when results are out so I don’t need to refresh my portal again and again)
Love you too 😽
fr
i want argentina to win sm

Just finished building our band's harness mounts for the Rose Parade 😁😁
damn autoadmit
dad asked me if i heard back from uchi and i'm thinking about decisions again 😭😭 help
bro my mom said if mbappe misses his shot i’d get into stanford like mom why
id still accept to show that u have rizz
Just don't?
you will never escape a2c.
i have an addiction and i need an intervention
You’re so right
a2c consumes your whole life until you're done and in college
You will be here until the end of your 20s.
I’m the rizzard of oz
and even in college some people are in A2C, which is strange
see u in 20 min para
see you in an hour
if you see me in the thread before decision day just tell me to leave
LMAOO
💔
gonna be me to watch all the kids try to get in to t20s
gonna be me trolling tryhards
anyway i'm going to work so bye nerds
if you need me dm me
oh shit I gotta make a server for that hold on
and it's not because i need a community of people doing the same thing as me to vent to
love you too bao
i probably shouldn't be actively thinking about decisions so i won't be active but i'm not gonna leave entirely, i'll still pop in here and there
I’m ready to get into uchicago so my hair can start growing back
I’m losing hair bc I’m stressed
frr
anyway a2cers being drawn to the discord is like moths being drawn to the flame
lmk if you want an invite
i do :pleading_face:
me too lol
here I'll just send it to everyone in the previous message where I said to react
how did they even find your acc
wtf
thats crazy
I have no clue tbh
Maybe they saw the acceptances pile 🙈
Just kidding
LMAO
lmao
My gut is definitely telling me no especially after last night lol
why after last night particularly
All the chance mes in chat lol I definitely don’t stack up
i got a dream of MIT decision coming out and them saying - we can’t show you your decision irl so please fly to US to see it
and I flew there
and they were like
WhT…
WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER APPLYING AND WASTING YOUR PARENTS MONEY WITH THESE STATS
then i woke up
Damn
and less than 24 hours later, deferred
@slate flume what’s hkust
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
QS top 5 in Asia for Computer Science
and QS top 50 globally, but other than that you might not have heard of it (since you are, I assume, from the US. Its not that popular there)
ngl, rankings really feel cringe
like they are based on the weirdest things and factors and easily influenced
