UChicago (2022-2023)

[daring steeple]

So you are at the u of I now right

doesnt like humidity so

[vocal eagle]

thats half the reason i left texas

[strong shore]

ive never heard anything good about florida

[daring steeple]

i love texas tho 😭

[radiant hawk]

maybe florida men act the way they do because of the humidity

texas is just less swampy flordia

[daring steeple]

except i was in el paso where my dad lives which i find isnt rlly humid tbh

[vocal eagle]

texas is wonderful for some reasons and terrible for others

[daring steeple]

i love texas tho

one of my fav states

[vocal eagle]

yeah el paso climate is drastically different from central-east texas

[daring steeple]

would maybe buy a house there

i love dallas and austin

el paso is barely even texas lmao

Ravel is a shocking omission from your list

[vocal eagle]

i cant be in texas as a woman

[daring steeple]

its like mexican american land thats joined into texas

[vocal eagle]

lol

[radiant hawk]

hes higher than satie!!

[daring steeple]

I fuck with Messiaen and Francois Poulenc too but they get a little quirky with it

[vocal eagle]

from my experience dallas is kinda soulless but austin is where it's at

[daring steeple]

Nice

I’m scared. My Uber eats driver’s fav food is cold fried chicken…

[vocal eagle]

if i had to stay in texas i would stay in austin but the housing prices are too expensive

[vocal eagle]

based

[daring steeple]

austin is hip for our age, but dallas is amazing. i kinda like houston but not too much

[alpine sun]

OMG Great Gatsby reference

🧎‍♂️

[daring steeple]

OH

[vocal eagle]

texas politics like ruin the entire state for me

[daring steeple]

Lol

[vocal eagle]

can't have ovaries in the state of texas 🤷‍♀️

[daring steeple]

He is intellectual with it

[strong shore]

when we were planning a road trip someone told me to "not slow down in texas or youll die"

[vocal eagle]

buccees though 🤤

[alpine sun]

As a muslim i tend to avoid the south

💀

[daring steeple]

wha?

I’m going down south for tour

Pumped

texas has some of the largest concentrations of muslims

ive never met muslims much up north

[alpine sun]

mybe in the cities yeah

[daring steeple]

in texas and florida ive met sooo many

[vocal eagle]

texas is just a bad place to be a minority in general LOL

[daring steeple]

no i dont even live in a big city lol

[alpine sun]

as with most cities tbh

[vocal eagle]

unless you're in the big cities

[alpine sun]

but like its the drives between locations

[daring steeple]

i live in a small suburban town

with a huge mosque and muslim community

and different ethnic types

[radiant hawk]

ive met like two muslims in my life

[daring steeple]

north african, middle eastern, caucaus, indian, latino, and white muslims

[strong shore]

yeah im lucky my area is really diverse even though it's in georgia

[daring steeple]

idk I feel like rural places almost anywhere can be dangerous for minorities

[radiant hawk]

atlanta is diverse

[daring steeple]

i have some in my family because i grew up muslim and christian

[alpine sun]

saw this massive flag on my way to duke lol

[vocal eagle]

even though texas and florida are ethnically diverse it's the justice system that severely impacts people of color and makes it uninhabitable for many people

[daring steeple]

but outside of that in MA i never met muslims

Like California got white supremacist enclaves in their boonies

[radiant hawk]

💀

[daring steeple]

thats enough for me to remove duke from my list!

too bad i already removed it

That’s pretty gross

[alpine sun]

it was not near duke to be fair**

buit it was huge

[vocal eagle]

the amount of confederate flags i see in michigan is shocking

out in the sticks

[daring steeple]

eh i would say its more against minorities as a whole (including lgbt) and gender rather than POC

[daring steeple]

I’ve seen a couple in Iowa

[strong shore]

im in a fairly far suburb but like we have two schools in 10 minutes that are nonwhite majority

[daring steeple]

Couple in Pennsylvania

[radiant hawk]

hm

[vocal eagle]

yeah that's kinda what i meant my bad

[radiant hawk]

georgia is a weird state

[vocal eagle]

austin pd is a piece of work though man good god

[daring steeple]

austin is sexy

Lol

I wonder where I’ll live after college

[vocal eagle]

austin is getting less and less sexy the more california implants move to town and put small companies out of business that have been there for years

[daring steeple]

gross

[strong shore]

i wanna go to california so bad

[daring steeple]

Why

[radiant hawk]

after college i want to live in like chile or sth

[daring steeple]

💀

[strong shore]

in n out

[vocal eagle]

yummy

they have that in texas

[daring steeple]

I’m low key thinking peace corps after college

i would bever want to live in cali but i do love san diego and san fransisco

[strong shore]

WTF

omw

[daring steeple]

i would if the admin for peace corps wasnt shit

It’s a big commitment but I think I should do it young

[radiant hawk]

middle ground: live in tijuana

[daring steeple]

tbh i loved whattaburger when i went to texas

[vocal eagle]

a chicago company recently bought Whataburger so i guarantee it'll go national and they'll put a location in chi town

sooooo good

[daring steeple]

Tell me more

[strong shore]

waht do the peace corps do

[daring steeple]

they just treat their members like shit

so many stories about it

i was going to do a subsidary program of peace corps

called

https://www.peacecorps.gov/volunteer/what-volunteers-do/

[daring steeple]

Damn

This year’s ‘Watch Party’ is a little different but still fun to see the excitement of admitted students. #UIUCWantsMe

Twitter · Feb 19, 2021, 10:33 PM

[slate flume]

lol

[onyx sedge]

My second day wearing it in a row to manifest the acceptance

[vernal junco]

Maybe they watched it through an extension, since that doesn't give a view, like if you watch a YouTube video on discord

[daring steeple]

Me changing into my shirt right now

[ocean mortar]

we beat the cornell thread btw

we have like 25k messages 💀 they have 22k

[warped river]

and it’s not even wednesday yet 😭

[mental rivet]

Question

Is UChicago... safe?

[daring steeple]

yes

[warped river]

the school is

the area surrounding is technically a big city so i mean u get the big city safety problems

[ocean mortar]

isn't the campus like... not that far from o-block

i've heard campus police will keep you safe within a certain perimeter

but you aren't their problem if you wander into chiraq

[slate flume]

the city isn't

I have a few friends in the area and they say it isn't atleast

but the campus is very safe

[mental rivet]

Good to know

[slate flume]

bare careful outside it though

[mental rivet]

Yeah I’ve read of crime reports from near the campus so just checking

[slate flume]

*be

[buoyant nova]

1 day my brothers and sisters😻

[lilac bridge]

all i want for christmaaaas is u(chicago)

[onyx sedge]

Generally yes

[daring steeple]

It is if you mind your business

Take it from someone in chicago-

[gray geyser]

hyde park is a good neighborhood but the surrounding area is eh

[mental rivet]

Interesting…

That’s good? I guess? Kinda sketch.

[ocean mortar]

i mean that's how every big city is

[gray geyser]

like with most things i think if you mind your own business so will they

[daring steeple]

27 hours left 😢

[mental rivet]

Ah, touché

[ocean mortar]

shit can change between a block

[onyx sedge]

That's how pretty much every uni is in big cities

[gray geyser]

yup

[mental rivet]

I can’t say much, I’m applying to Columbia and NYU

[gray geyser]

i think hyde park should be walking distance to the L

[mental rivet]

I’ve never lived in a city that’s why I ask

[gray geyser]

so you can take that down to like the loop

[ocean mortar]

i keep flip flopping on applying to columbia

they send me an insane amount of mail and promo

so every time i remove them from my brain they come back

[mental rivet]

I banged out all of the essays in a day somehow

They’re the best ones I’ve written, maybe I was on something because I can’t do that anymore lol

[ocean mortar]

lol my writing energy is very random

[mental rivet]

Same

[magic oar]

So screwed for this

[wise dawn]

!chicago

[onyx sedge]

Tomorrow between 3:00 - 6:00 PM CST

[magic oar]

Y’all ready for rejections

[onyx sedge]

Yea 😭

[vernal junco]

2:59 is going to be the most stressful time

[ocean mortar]

cant wait for a deferral that will make me extremely indecisive as to my EDII plans🎉

[vernal junco]

saame

deferral is worse than rejection imo

[ocean mortar]

yep

[lilac bridge]

god i know right

i have 2 other schools i'd choose in a heartbeat over uchi but neither of them have ED2 & im worried if i choose ed2 uchicago i end up getting in and then shooting myself in the foot if i get in to the other schools too

[magic oar]

I can’t wait for a straight up rejection

[ocean mortar]

EXACTLY

[lilac bridge]

like idk if the ED boost is worth the heartbreak if i get into another one of my top schools

which is a sign not to ED, ik, but isnt it rlly hard to stand out in rd 😭

[ocean mortar]

^

[slate flume]

same reason here as to why I didn't ED to begin with

I never ED'd anywhere since I have this abysmally small hope of getting into MIT EA

which ended as a deferral sadly :/

[lilac bridge]

i ed'd to my dream school which ended in a rejection and that's okay but it does make me wonder if i should play it safe and take the ED2 uchi if they do defer me, in the hopes that the boost works in my favour, rather than praying for reach schools

[daring steeple]

two questions. Have you already gotten into a safety? Is UChi your top reach?

[lilac bridge]

uchi is not my top reach, and i have gotten into a safety

i won't get finaid from the safety till jan or feb tho

[onyx sedge]

Luckily, MIT only deferred like 65% of applicants, so I think you have a chance

[slate flume]

how is that an "only" 😭

[onyx sedge]

I'm joking lol

[daring steeple]

If it's not your top maybe you should prioritize the others. I mean you've already gotten into college so now you're just shooting for the stars, why not shoot for the best one?

[onyx sedge]

Literally me

[daring steeple]

What? I thought UChi was your top reach.

[onyx sedge]

It is

That's what I've been doing

Shooting for the stars 🤩

[daring steeple]

Oh, same. My mom is kinda annoyed I keep talking about applications as if I haven't already gotten into a school

[onyx sedge]

My friends are starting to get annoyed about me always anxiously waiting lol

[radiant hawk]

all ends tmrw

[daring steeple]

For ED II they say the decision will be mid February, watch them release decisions on the 27th

[gentle maple]

Y’all ready???!

[gray geyser]

it was actually mid february last year surprisingly enough

[daring steeple]

Yeah. Honestly, I'm ready. They should release at 3AM

[daring steeple]

💀

Tomorrow will the serve logo look like UChi?

[alpine sun]

I made pancakes

[gray geyser]

i just want it to be over with

[magic oar]

Me too

[gray geyser]

we’ve been waiting like two months and no matter what happens tomorrow we’re done waiting

[magic oar]

Fr it’ll be such a release

I don’t mean relief I mean like an actual release of all of my damn stress

I guess I could call it a relief tho lmao

[alpine sun]

If i get in i will coast through my entire sr year

Just want that relief tbh

[daring steeple]

My thoughts exactly

[gray geyser]

whatever happens i just wanna know i’m going into the holidays pushing college aside until the new year

[gentle maple]

Good luck to all brown kids

That comes out today

NO

[magic oar]

I get my Tulane decision back today

I just want that overwith

[gentle maple]

Ea?

[magic oar]

Yeah

[lilac bridge]

[gentle maple]

Ez dubs for you

[lilac bridge]

good luck!!

[magic oar]

Nah

[gentle maple]

Watchu mean

[magic oar]

Isn’t easy

I DO have legacy tho

[gentle maple]

Bro

You’re set

[magic oar]

My ECs just aren’t all that

[gentle maple]

It’s Tulane tho

You’ll be fine

[magic oar]

Tulane has a 10% acceptance rate

[gentle maple]

Wait since when wtf

[daring steeple]

On it

[magic oar]

I think 12 for EA

Since a long time

it’s a prestigious school

[gentle maple]

Go youuuu

Oh

Really?

@magic oar did you Ed to chicago?

[magic oar]

EA

[gentle maple]

Rippo

[magic oar]

Didn’t ED anywhere

[gentle maple]

How come

[magic oar]

Didn’t want to be forced to go somewhere if I got in especially for financial reasons

[radiant hawk]

i had a nightmare about a great flood

[magic oar]

I know there’s a financial exception

[radiant hawk]

guys i think im noah

[magic oar]

but it would still be annoying to get out of it

[gentle maple]

Ah

[gentle maple]

…

[gentle maple]

SAME LOL

[onyx sedge]

Almost 26,000 messages 💀

[warped river]

[daring steeple]

Does anyone have any suggestions to make this better?

[onyx sedge]

I love it tbh, nothing I'd change

Maybe make it a little slower, it goes so quick I can't fully appreciate it

[onyx sedge]

Gonna miss y'all

[slate flume]

[mild rose]

[slate flume]

[mild rose]

[warped river]

[daring steeple]

Fair

[daring steeple]

Why are you acting like we’re all going to just die off

[lilac bridge]

LOVE

maybe make it a bit slower

[lilac bridge]

think most ppl are leaving the server or just going inactive after decisions

[onyx sedge]

I know that I'll probably leave the server pretty quickly after decisions because if I get in, I don't need the A2C server anymore

[onyx sedge]

That's what y'all have been saying and it's been freaking me out

[lilac bridge]

i'll be here till march/april at the very least

[ocean mortar]

same

[onyx sedge]

I might stay if I get denied

[lilac bridge]

[lilac bridge]

YOOO UR DOING DARTMOUTH RD? ME TOO

[strong shore]

[lilac bridge]

[strong shore]

before my uchi decision i am just gonna read my "why dartmouth" like 10 times

[slate flume]

I will leave if I am accepted into one school and rejected from all schools above it in my prefrences

In other words, atleast March 14 (for the sake of MIT)

[onyx sedge]

Holy shit! Let's goooo!

[lilac bridge]

i ... have not written my why dartmouth yet

in fact i have not written a single dartmouth supp yet KABDJDNF

[onyx sedge]

Lmfso

Y'all are great students

Wait... Did I say student?

I meant procrastinators

[daring steeple]

That procrastination anxiety helps the grind fr

[onyx sedge]

That's pretty valid ig

[lilac bridge]

i procrastinate everything

also bc i just can't get the words to flow correctly

been stuck on the barnard supps for 2 days now

[onyx sedge]

When that happens, I just force myself to write the most horrible stuff to ever come out of my brain until decent content starts to flow

[radiant hawk]

about 24 hrs

[warped river]

shhh

can’t believe it’s actually tomorrow lol

[stone cosmos]

did sny of yall get generic ass email

[warped river]

[vernal junco]

I haven't started rd apps

unless uchicago comes in clutch

they may wait until after decisions

[warped river]

Will Uchicago send an email if it comes out?

[radiant hawk]

i guess this is fate for uchicago

[vernal junco]

maybe

[buoyant nova]

Same

[vernal junco]

I think the email stuff is gonna come back once the decision is released

to entice EA applicants

I think all uchicago commits get a box of shit tho?

I've seen some videos about that

we're gonna be getting merch soon tho

[daring steeple]

We're going to be drippy

[alpine sun]

Yeah they mail you a box full of shit

[mild rose]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rotund flume]

Praying to Milton Friedman as we speak for acceptance

[gentle maple]

Looks dire

[buoyant nova]

At least, that is what I've heard

Yea

[daring steeple]

If I get deferred though the vid will be insane

[azure tundra]

r we waiting for the email

[daring steeple]

When it comes out

[azure tundra]

yea but theres no specified time lmao

[onyx sedge]

Exactly 2 minutes and 13 seconds after it releases

[radiant hawk]

12 minutes 21 seconds

[onyx sedge]

My notifications will be on blast

[vernal junco]

I'm going to be on the portal just refreshing every few seconds

[daring steeple]

Accurate. With all the pacing and screaming included

[lilac bridge]

STOP it wouldve been so good

[vernal junco]

after I realize I got my decision I'm just not going to open out of worry

[lilac bridge]

the minute i get the ping from someone here

[daring steeple]

Guys take one more look at your portfolio and remember the good times

My nerves are so wrecked that I feel like I can’t breathe

someone ping me too

i'm too stressed over my ap bio final results

need to have these mid year grades all a's for MIT and RDs !

[lilac bridge]

OH OH

I GOT MY AP STATS GRADE TO AN A TODAY

first time its been an A all sem

[onyx sedge]

LETS GO NATALIE

[lilac bridge]

cus i bombed the very first quiz

[onyx sedge]

Damn

[lilac bridge]

BUT WHO CARES ITS AN A NOW !!!

[onyx sedge]

Thats rough

[lilac bridge]

stats has not been my thing at all

[daring steeple]

We both ateeeee i got a 99 on my final, studied too hard

[lilac bridge]

been working my ass off to get thru it

[onyx sedge]

I remember that spot!

[vernal junco]

I can't think

[vernal junco]

this is such a bad feeling goddamn

I wonder if this worry translates to bad luck

foreshadowing

[vernal junco]

I want to go so bad ahhh

[onyx sedge]

me too

My dream school :'(

[vernal junco]

tomorrow is gonna suck

[onyx sedge]

Can't wait to read "Unfortunately, we are unable to off- ..."

[daring steeple]

If uchicago gives up on me…I’m done

At worst, please just let me get deferred

I can work with that

[vernal junco]

I swear I'm not going to be able to sleep

[daring steeple]

No joke, I bought sleep pills for tonight

[warped river]

i just want to go to uchicago so bad

[vocal eagle]

Real

[onyx sedge]

Idk if I'm gonna be able to sleep. Then again, during my depressed phase I got really good at repressing my emotions, so I'm pretty good at just forgetting about it enough to fall asleep

[vocal eagle]

Im so so so nervous

[onyx sedge]

I'm concerned Pandora

[warped river]

i hope i don’t wake up tomorrow until decisions come out

[onyx sedge]

Are you okay?

I hope the fucking blizzard that is about to roll through means school gets cancelled tomorrow so I can sit in my room and tremble in fear for 8 hours

You upper Midwest as well?

Iowa?

[daring steeple]

Who tf lives in Iowa

[onyx sedge]

Damn, I didn't realize the snowfront went that far south

Ours is mid to late tomorrow

[radiant hawk]

for the longest time I thought Berkeley was the same as berklee

[warped river]

SAME LOL

i also knew someone named berklee and i was so confused why a person would name them after uc berkeley lol

[onyx sedge]

LMFAO

That's too funny

Naming their kid after a college

I always feels bad for the kids that have names similar to colleges

Like, imagine being named George and going to Georgetown

[daring steeple]

What kids do you know with names similar to colleges?

Oh…☠️

[onyx sedge]

My friends name is Rowan and they just got an email from a uni named Rowan lol

[daring steeple]

Rowan is a killer name

I wish I was named Rowan

[onyx sedge]

Yea, he's a cool dude

Very smart

What

How is scythe related?

Oh

I never read it

Was confused for a fat minute

[lilac bridge]

im flying out saturday for holiday and i think its gonna hit me then

[daring steeple]

Don't body shame time

[onyx sedge]

Dang, good luck mate

[daring steeple]

You're going on holiday right after your decision?

[onyx sedge]

Oof

[lilac bridge]

not that i had any say in it 😭

[warped river]

oh

[gentle maple]

Where

Is that

[warped river]

for 5:30 CST. it’s on a countdown app on my phone

[gentle maple]

Why 5:30?

[warped river]

idk i’m assuming that’s the latest it’ll be

[daring steeple]

I'm telling you at 9PM were still going to be like 👀

[mental rivet]

Y'all got it 😃

[warped river]

yeah fr 😭

[onyx sedge]

I'm thinking the latest it'll be is around 5:30

Expecting it to be like 4:30 though

[warped river]

i hope so

[onyx sedge]

Me too

[warped river]

i’m regretting telling my parents ab this school. they’re asking me ab it already

gonna be horrible walking to the kitchen to tell them i got rejected 🙃

[mental rivet]

It's gonna be at 4:20 👌

[onyx sedge]

I feel that

I made the mistake of telling people I'm applying

[daring steeple]

What if we all opened our decisions on call (jk)

[onyx sedge]

Now I'm gonna have to tell them I got rejected

[onyx sedge]

I'm down

[daring steeple]

Ong, I can't keep my fucking mouth shut

[onyx sedge]

Yea... Telling everyone when we're off break is gonna suck

[daring steeple]

anywone wanna read my tulane loci

[daring steeple]

Me

[onyx sedge]

Yea

[daring steeple]

I can't tell if this is confidence or you've accepted fate

[onyx sedge]

I've accepted fate :'(

[lilac bridge]

the way im abt to embarrass myself in front of my friends again

been getting rejected consistently and they've heard abt it every single time cus i never shut up abt my anxiety beforehand 😭

[daring steeple]

me

[daring steeple]

All of us who have accepted fate should get on call

[onyx sedge]

Yess

Depending on what I'm doing, I'll join call and open it with y'all

[fickle gorge]

u guys got this ❤️

[daring steeple]

All this anxiety is remind me of my cousin's boyfriend who didn't get into Harvard last year, so instead of going to a safety he took a gap year to try again this year smh

[warped river]

hope he gets in lol

[onyx sedge]

LMFAO

Dedication

[warped river]

fr

[onyx sedge]

Hoping he doesn't throw

[gusty wave]

decision tomorrow!!

[daring steeple]

Someone stop me from watching other people's decision videos

[onyx sedge]

Currently shitting my pants in anticipation

[onyx sedge]

CLARKE

STOP IT

It's not healthy

[gusty wave]

yeah dont

they arent real

[onyx sedge]

You need to stop

It's a false reality

They're deceiving you!

[gusty wave]

those kids r npc's

[daring steeple]

But they look so happy. I JUST WANNA BE HAPPY WITH THEM

[gusty wave]

the devs put them in to add pressure

[onyx sedge]

Lmfao

I'm gonna be one of those NPCs tomorrow

Hopefully

[daring steeple]

hell yeah you are

[onyx sedge]

Cope

[onyx sedge]

Ayoo, you are too

[daring steeple]

We got this. Forget those youtube NPCs

[radiant hawk]

time to watch uchicago decision videos from last year

[onyx sedge]

Don't do it Bao!

It'll make it only hurt more!

[daring steeple]

Why is everyone committing emotional suicide right now?

[radiant hawk]

Why are you not commiting emotional suicide

[daring steeple]

Because Trex told me to stop 💀

[vocal eagle]

I think I’m getting rejected but that’s just the vibe for tonight

[radiant hawk]

why are you listening to trex

uchicago students should challenge all authority

[gritty idol]

lmao

[onyx sedge]

https://youtube.com/shorts/X0LC9biDAwg?feature=share

Yall

I made a mistake

"Reprioritize what's important"

[onyx sedge]

Idk why anyone listens to me. I just say things that generally sound accurate

[onyx sedge]

"Don't freak out" THANKS JAMES, ILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION

[radiant hawk]

its time for you to apply

it's the university of chicago

nothing is immoral

[gritty idol]

bro i dont want to be creative

[radiant hawk]

mf then leave the spot to me 💀

not getting in tho

[gritty idol]

IM NOT APPLYING ED

[radiant hawk]

getting replaced by mr. C

[gritty idol]

what time is it releasing tmrw

[radiant hawk]

"late afternoon"

[gritty idol]

haha L

[onyx sedge]

3:00 - 6:00 CSTish

[lilac bridge]

"late afternoon" ok place ur bets on when it actually releases

i'm saying 7 CST cus they gotta stay true to form & be late

[tight nimbus]

my guess is ~6:30 cst

[daring steeple]

i would say maybe a bit earlier

late afternoon to me is around 5-6pm cst

[warped river]

my guess is it’s going to be rolling

[vocal eagle]

@onyx sedge did you see case western is coming out tomorrow too?

That was the other school you liked right?

[ocean mortar]

best college reaction video imo: https://youtu.be/Knlexo3wx7c

[onyx sedge]

Yea, I'm in the channel with the other EA people

Scared as balls for that

If I take two Ls in one night, I might fucking kill myself

[vocal eagle]

Can’t believe both your big decisions are coming out the same day

I think you have a pretty good shot at uchicago if I’m being honest

[onyx sedge]

I appreciate that

I think we all have our strengths and depending on who the reader is, we all have a good shot at uChicago, but it all just feels so random

Like a lottery, but with our futures

[ocean mortar]

i have 2 tomorrow too

[onyx sedge]

Yea, it sucks

What's your second one?

[ocean mortar]

macalester

[onyx sedge]

Ooh, good luck!

[ocean mortar]

thanks!

it'd be embarrassing if i got rejected by both 😭

[onyx sedge]

Ikr

CWRU is like Macalester with it's similarly low accept rate, so I'm hoping that we both don't get an L from our target schools

I feel like my interview went so well though that I've got a good shot

[ocean mortar]

yeah stats-wise it should be an "easy target" for me but you never really know

they may decide to go wild with the yield this year

[onyx sedge]

If they do

I'm going to be so sad

And mad

And dejected

[vernal junco]

I can't believe all of us are getting in today

[onyx sedge]

@daring steeple is that your stuff that is the A2C pfp?

[azure tundra]

ong

[mild rose]

About to take more though to mock me out for hopefully the next 12hrs

[radiant hawk]

[daring steeple]

That would be a dream rn

[warped river]

[daring steeple]

☠️

No mercy at all

[vocal eagle]

I also can’t sleep at all 😭😭

[autumn hull]

[radiant hawk]

[autumn hull]

[autumn hull]

😭

[slate flume]

Lmfao

[tacit charm]

[slate flume]

[radiant hawk]

[daring steeple]

[stone cosmos]

[teal mauve]

UChicagno moment

[buoyant nova]

I'm scared and excited

[gentle maple]

Today

Is the day

Of the decisions

Here we gooooo

[slate cloud]

good luck!! y’all got this

[mild rose]

nah they did this last year

they take the button away the day of decisions

[gentle maple]

Wrf

[vernal junco]

I am not ready

[gentle maple]

Time for us to get these dubs

16 ED

18 EA

That’s a lot of applications from this server

[mild rose]

out of like 20k though

[devout mural]

bruh， i applied ED and i do not have the withdrawal button anymore💀💀💀

[alpine sun]

same here

[gray geyser]

ugh i just had a super realistic dream where i got in

like i woke up and i was like “oh nvm 💀”

[slate flume]

Anyone elses supplemental essay just dissapear from their portal?

[buoyant nova]

Max 10 hours

[buoyant nova]

It wasn't there from the beginning

[gray geyser]

i don’t think mine was ever there cuz i just submitted thru commonapp

[alpine sun]

^

[devout mural]

Bro, u should submit this schoolhouse form in other place, not this “ upload materials’’

[buoyant nova]

If I get in
I'll buy y'all a 🍔👍🏼😭

[alpine sun]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/673651735981588480/967917084522729502/1643029671708.gif

[gray geyser]

he’s international so i think his process is slightly different

[slate flume]

I submitted it in their school house form and it automatically got added here

[devout mural]

mb

[slate flume]

Its probably cause I also added a pdf version of it in the form (most people just add a link)

Almost doxed my email

[slate flume]

I also did the same, but then it came up in the documents section

[mild rose]

??

[slate flume]

I sent a screenshot with my email in it

[mild rose]

your email is literally in the link on ur discord profile

💀

[slate flume]

send me a screenshot 😐

cuz I am pretty sure it isn't

If you mean my link tree - that aint my personal email

[mild rose]

Oh

Ok

Lol

[slate flume]

lol

[slate flume]

Could it be because I submitted my main application two weeks before the deadline and got portal access before I submitted my supplementary essay?

[vernal junco]

I thought it just hit 12 but it's only 11 😭

Fuck wait no it's 9

[slate flume]

homie on another level of anxiety ^

[vernal junco]

Fr I'm hallucinating at this point

Seeing shit

[slate flume]

How am I the only one in this thread just vibing

like you could tell me UChicago decisions came out right fucking now

and I would finish this episode of lucifer that I am watching first

[vernal junco]

I can just imagine looking at the letter waiting for bubbles to pop up but they never do

Fuck

[slate flume]

Like I would be over the top if I got in ofc

but I am not that anxious to see the decision 💀

Cuz - whatever it is - it is what it iz

[vernal junco]

Bro you don't understand

[slate flume]

To be fair, I was ultra anxious for MIT

so who am I to say this

[vernal junco]

I'll be stuck in Ohio if I don't get in

[slate flume]

top choice school vs. every other school is different

[vernal junco]

I have to get into uchicago

[slate flume]

💀

[vernal junco]

This is life or death

[slate flume]

https://tenor.com/view/ohio-flag-windy-gif-12738919

[vernal junco]

I cannot get rejected

[slate flume]

what if

you get defered

then waitlisted

and then rejected

that would be the most foul thing ever

idk fam

[vernal junco]

I think they do

[daring steeple]

Good morning my fellow Chicagoans

[vernal junco]

Gm

I want today to be over already

[violet sable]

Do we have a time for decisions or is it sti just mid afternoon

[slate flume]

late afternoon

or shall I say evening, considering their track record with schedules

[violet sable]

Oooh

Im not pumped for it because I know it'll be a rejection lol

Ive received like four rejections in the past 7 days fml

[vernal junco]

I gotta stop watching uchicago videos

I'm making it worse

[slate flume]

me during MIT decision day: Anxious af
Me during every other decision day: Would rather watch netflix than see the decision and even procrastinate on opening the decision cuz I am lazy

I am sorry but I just can't relate 😭

But all the best ya all and take a chill pill

[violet sable]

Yess Im sure most ppl here will get in, they all seem so awesome

[daring steeple]

Apoc, you’ll be fine

[onyx sedge]

8 hours

[daring steeple]

You’re lucky you have school to distract you

[onyx sedge]

Am I?

[daring steeple]

Yes. I just have to sit and hope next food distracts me enough. You have adults telling you to put your tech away and you’re probably taking finals

rn i'm legit more worried about my ap bio fina results 😭

[daring steeple]

See. Pure luck

I needed a ~76 to get an A for the semester and it was hard

it's the only class stopping me from all a's rn

[onyx sedge]

I'm talking about our final project due in a month with my DE Lit teacher

[daring steeple]

My mom must texted me “Fingers crosses for today”. Girl…please leave me alone

[lilac bridge]

good morning i cannot do this

[vernal junco]

I need to fast forward a few hours

[vernal junco]

Hopefully lol

[lilac bridge]

actually. i didn't even really want to go haha so its a blessing in disguise (i lowkey do want to go now tho .....)

anyways im gonna grind darmouth supps today & hopefully by the time decisions drop ill have them all done

and then i can grind the rest of my supps when i inevitably get rejected

[vernal junco]

I didn't want to go initially since I learned it was where fun went to die, but over time I got to love it more

[lilac bridge]

i keep telling myself its too close to home so that i stop caring

i wanna get away from my fam 💀

[vernal junco]

I need to find a reason to dislike uchicago lmao

[buoyant nova]

6-9 hours

[vernal junco]

nice

[lilac bridge]

copiun in advance: it's too close to home, it sounds way too hard w insane rigor and idk if i want that, who wants to live in chicago anyways, i didnt even want to apply, lots of kids from my school are applying too so do i really want to be stuck w some of them, i didn't do the vid LMAO so im not getting in, its expensive as hell, fun goes to die there hello that says all you need to know

[vernal junco]

That makes me feel a ton better

[alpine sun]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-squidward-shocked-squidward-tonight-tonight-squidward-shock-gif-23057510

[vernal junco]

I gotta just find reasons to hate Chicago and I'll be good

[slate flume]

Ya all really just tryna cope with the rejection in advance

[vernal junco]

Ye lmao gotta cushion the impact before falling, not after

Deploying the parachute after hitting the ground prob not the best idea

[lilac bridge]

if you go in disliking the school then the rejection is just eh

[slate flume]

physics 101

[lilac bridge]

if you do get in, reread your why uchi essay then you love it again!

[slate flume]

Reduce the impact, distribute the force by cushioning it over time.

[vernal junco]

True

[slate flume]

"Why UChicago"
I love not having fun and I love living in a city with crime

[vernal junco]

Uchicago bad since you could get mugged at any time

And then your GPA drops because of it

[slate flume]

thats the only fun part about the university

other than that, fun comes to die here

[vernal junco]

Bro nah I'd try karate chopping the dude and then get shot

[slate flume]

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-gun-gif-25725458

[vernal junco]

Uchicago eliminates applications like that

[slate flume]

lol

[mild rose]

I don’t think they do

I’ve only ever seen ea get deferred

[odd heath]

Best of luck UChicago ED1/EA applicants today! Rooting for you all!

[molten blaze]

when does it come out

[vernal junco]

today

in a few hours

[molten blaze]

yh but like what tim
