UChicago (2022-2023)

[solar pike]

I’m not a 100% sure tho

[gentle maple]

Just wait for yourself to get in

And then you can put that request in

[solar pike]

bro rly said wait till you get in 😭

[gentle maple]

(Waiting to get in is the harder part lol)

Don’t worry abt the fin aid until you get in, they’ll figure it out for you afterwards

[solar pike]

I think for Ed that’s ok but for rd you’d want to compare your packages as soon as possible

[gentle maple]

They’ll get your package back to you within a week or less

[solar pike]

oh ok ig that’s fine then

[halcyon mantle]

I see, thank you guys so much

[gentle crescent]

If I missed the FAFSA priority deadline, would it be better for me to see if I get in then request for aid, or submit it now and send the admissions office an email?

[icy cypress]

Does the thank you message on the portal indicate decisions are soon?

for ed 2

if i remember correctly they were posted on decision day for early action

[clear sluice]

yea decisions are soon

[icy cypress]

oh so this friday is a good assumption?

since its been the second friday of feb in the past

[clear sluice]

maybe

But i think closer to 15th feb

Probably next to next week

[icy cypress]

that makes sense thank you

[astral ibex]

The thank you message was for everyone?

Also does that thank you mean something?

[clear sluice]

yes lmfao

[cinder sparrow]

Hey just wondering

Did anyone else who switched from ea to edii have their decision round disappear off their portal?

It just says my name now

[daring steeple]

What thank you

I didn't have one

Is this just edii

[astral ibex]

Ig ED2

Only

Thank for applying. You are smart

In an eloquent language

[cinder sparrow]

I have a screenshot from a friend who applied directly to edii

This section above your name on the right (on desktop)

[cinder sparrow]

Also it’s the thank you from when they released ea and edi results showing up again

About finding wisdom from teeth and what not

[olive helm]

*`We want to take this moment to say thank you—you are ALL amazing! You have given historical figures new technologies, sought the wisdom of teeth, looked back to find X, and more! You are among the most brilliant, ambitious, and academically qualified students in the world. It is a privilege to have shared in your ideas and accomplishments, and to have gotten to know you.

James G. Nondorf
Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid`*

And I think the decision date ed ii would be Febuary 10, it was second friday of febuary for at least 2 years

[mental rivet]

…It is with great regret that I inform you that our admission rate for Regular Decision is projected at .1%. Good luck!

[gentle maple]

I met nondorf yesterday

He’s so cool

[olive helm]

how

[clear sluice]

always happens before decisions

[clear sluice]

yeah ofc now ur decision plan wont show cuz u already changed it 😭

if you wanna change it again u prolly need to email em

[olive helm]

are you rd?

[gentle maple]

At the admitted students reception

[daring steeple]

Yeah

[lilac bridge]

man i cant believe im abt to get rejected after seeing this message again

[daring steeple]

natalie

everytime i open this channel and see you, you're always saying you're going to be rejected

just wait 💀

[foggy lintel]

p sure the finaid app is a lot later than the actual app

[lilac bridge]

STOPSBFIDBF

im trying to mentally prepare myself

[foggy lintel]

cant be disappointed if you're already expecting nothing

honestly i agree

[daring steeple]

😠 i guess

[gentle crescent]

girl, do you do this with all your colleges

[lilac bridge]

no lmfao

uchi's my ED2 so it's more stressful

[sullen mirage]

i think there are other ways you can prepare yourself 💀

[wooden mulch]

wait so ed2 decisions will most likely come out on friday?

[sullen mirage]

i’m gonna tear up if it’s this friday’s

holy it might actually be this friday

i need more cope time

[solar pike]

I want it to be this Friday 🙏

[sullen mirage]

what time is it usually

like 6?

[gray geyser]

5 est iirc

[full dirge]

I’m just not gonna check until I get the email notification for ed2 😅

[gusty wind]

Any idea on when decisions come out? Bff is very nervous

For Ed 2

[full dirge]

I’m guessing a time frame from the 11-15th? Idk I just looked at when it released in previous years

[gray geyser]

they’ll tell you like a week in advance dw

[gentle maple]

They should at least lol

[gray geyser]

expect a notice this week and decisions next week

[gentle crescent]

felt

[daring steeple]

send them an email. i missed it by a day and they told me my aid award will just be a day later than my decision

[gentle crescent]

thank you so much

[brazen comet]

Guys

If you applied EDII do you guys still have a withdraw button?

[icy cypress]

Yes

can everyone else see it as well?

[brazen comet]

Did the wording change

[full dirge]

What did it originally say?

[wooden mulch]

there is a thank you message now for everyone who did ed2

it wasn’t there before

i don’t think people who did RD have it

but i think that’s what he means about the change in wording

[full dirge]

Ohh ok gotcha yea I have the thank you message too

Do you guys think decisions are gonna drop friday?

[lilac bridge]

ik they posted it day of for EA, but idk if RD has that message too

[brazen comet]

Who else here applied EDII?

@lilac bridge @full dirge @icy cypress @wooden mulch All 4 of you?

[violet sable]

Me too

[brazen comet]

What major?

[wooden mulch]

yea i did ed2

computer science as first choice

[brazen comet]

Did anyone here do it?

[lilac bridge]

ed2 as an econ major

[sage crow]

Wait, are the ED 2 supposed to submit and loci?

[sage crow]

[stark urchin]

https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu

[brazen comet]

11 people here did EDII?

[sullen mirage]

shit it’s actually on friday

my parents are on business trips then

i already opened my ed decision while home alone i guess it’s time for part 2

[stark urchin]

i initially had my application in EA but changed it to EDII so i never received a decision in the earlier rounds

[sage crow]

Oh niceee

[full dirge]

Yup ed2 gang let’s go

[full dirge]

Yup

Yesss that would be cool!

Im applying for bio and art btw

[gentle maple]

Ooooh guys

Good lucko

[sage crow]

🤞

[scenic zodiac]

I did edii for computer science with a video

[lilac bridge]

omg did u ed columbia too

i took an L then too 😭

[lilac bridge]

you will be the first person to know if i get in

[solar pike]

yeah i did 😭

[lilac bridge]

thats way sooner than i expected actually

considering the deadline for materials was jan 31

[solar pike]

wait its this friday???

oh my

[sullen mirage]

my mid year report hasn’t even been sent in yet 💀

[lilac bridge]

mine hasnt either 💀

[full dirge]

[gentle maple]

This is what they found I think

[full dirge]

Ohhh I see it now thanks sm!

[teal mauve]

f is for friends who do things together

u is for uchicago

[gentle maple]

I-

🥶

[brazen comet]

I hope to be a classmate of Thomas next year.

[violet sable]

i will sell my soul to the illuminati to be Thomas' classmate

[brazen comet]

what state are you guys from?

[wooden mulch]

is it too late to send a loci to uchicago?

for ed2

[solar pike]

probably 😭

[brazen comet]

yeah

Did u do EA----->ED2?

[wooden mulch]

nah just did ed2

i just heard a lot of people sending locis without even doing ea —> ed2

i got confused

[brazen comet]

Why would you do that that's just dumb

[wooden mulch]

idk 😭

[gray geyser]

if you applied to ed2 directly what interest are you even continuing 😭

[brazen comet]

Do you guys think there is a lot of ED2 appliants?

[wooden mulch]

hopefully not

wait no

hopefully a lot

so then the percentage is in favor of us

[brazen comet]

my guess is 3000 applicants

they take 600

[wooden mulch]

how many do they usually defer/waitlist?

[brazen comet]

barely anybody

[wooden mulch]

damn

just got to wait for friday ig

[brazen comet]

What SAT score are u guys submitting if u don't mind sharsing

[wooden mulch]

i didn’t submit mine

[lilac bridge]

why would ppl do that

ur app should be up to date hello 😭

[wooden mulch]

no clue

i can see a point for some schools if like they didn’t have ed and u still really wanna go there

but idk why people are doing it for uchicago

[stark urchin]

i did send an update to uchicago and kind of formatted it like a LOCI

just updating them on achievements since january

[solar pike]

Ed 2 does not defer

either accept deny or waitlist

[sage crow]

good luck to all my ed folk

[stark urchin]

yes good luck to you all we all gon make it 😤

[full dirge]

Fingers crossed yk 🤞

How are you all going to celebrate if you get in?

[solar pike]

buy a quarter zip

[charred vine]

Do they defer from ed2

[sullen mirage]

i think it’s just accept wait list deny

[charred vine]

Scary

:(

[barren burrow]

i am also ed2!

[charred vine]

Yes pls

[sage crow]

[ivory grove]

[ivory grove]

4MOREDAYS!

[tame grove]

gl to yall ed2 people <3

[sullen mirage]

[astral ibex]

I am in ED2 too:)

Defered from EA

What are the chances like?

[daring steeple]

20%

[daring steeple]

Source?

[solar pike]

20% is more like ed1

i think for ed II its like 15

making these numbers up but just what i think

[past tree]

lol

I'm pretty sure it's under 10

[broken mason]

Hood luck

ED2 date released

10th l8 afternoon

[lilac bridge]

took a look at ED / EA "late afternoon" release and it was abt 4pm CST, just as a benchmark for this

[sullen mirage]

[lilac bridge]

talk to mods abt it — posting it here is in violation of rule 6

[teal mauve]

We don’t ban all links, but surveys aren’t allowed per our rules. You’re free to modmail about yours later on to see if an exception can be made depending on what the data is being used for, but I personally don’t see a point in it until all results are out

[gentle crescent]

around what time is "late afternoon?" What time did decisions come out in the past?

[gentle maple]

5pm est

[sullen mirage]

scary

[daring steeple]

You better PM me when you get in

[foggy lintel]

does anyone know if the transfer ed increases chances?

[gentle maple]

I’m first 😎

[lilac bridge]

you will be second to know

[daring steeple]

@gentle maple @lilac bridge This EDIIer just asked for my stats, I'm gonna make a shitpost on r/chanceme and shee how they predict

[gentle maple]

I think I know who you’re talking about lol

LMAO send link after

[lilac bridge]

LMFAO i feel like ik who asked u, send me a link too

[daring steeple]

Should I pretend to be a junior or admit I'm someone who already applied and get them to guess if I got in or not?

[lilac bridge]

don't say anything just reply to whoever is the rudest abt "reject" and say "actually i got in ;)"

[daring steeple]

@lilac bridge @gentle maple Bro the ego writing this gave me: https://www.reddit.com/r/chanceme/comments/10wmxh7/chance_me_uchicago/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

RATING BOYS AND FRIENDS USING ZSCORES IM DYIANSOWBDOWBIF

THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY I WANT TO READ IT

[daring steeple]

Okay, I'll send lol

[gentle maple]

What a fantastic post

[gentle crescent]

man you're cracked 😵‍💫

[daring steeple]

Any time you talk about your stats, I get imposters fr

[gentle maple]

Came Out of senioritis to write that post

[daring steeple]

I'm telling you ECs and Recs saved.

[gentle maple]

Mine? Bruh you should’ve heard others at those receptions 💀

[daring steeple]

Flexing doesn't know senioritis

[daring steeple]

What did they say?

[gentle maple]

They are cracked

[daring steeple]

If you feel imposters, I'm so screwed on campus

[gentle maple]

You’ll be fine

A kid who got in UPenn Ed and uchi ea came for the fun of it

[gentle crescent]

that's just mean 🙃

[gentle maple]

He was like it was either Wharton for me or uchi buis Econ

The dilemma 😧

[daring steeple]

Thomas, remove your comment from my reddit post

[gentle maple]

Oop

[gentle maple]

I edited it 🦾

[daring steeple]

You're ruining the mystery. I'm trying to prove chanceme-ers are bs

Clutch

[daring steeple]

Are you gonna fight Nordy with me if Nat doesn’t get in

[lament sonnet]

https://countingdownto.com/?c=4554403 because i cannot control my stress 😭

[violet sable]

😭

[fallow pike]

do yall have any NEW PORTAL astrology lore or sumb

sumn

[violet sable]

apparently if you have the withdraw button visible 12 hours before decisions ur deferred

[restive pike]

Uchicago doesnt require interviews right?

Cuz i already submitted the video profile

[fallow pike]

it does not have interviews at all

[fallow pike]

are u sure

[restive pike]

kewll

[fallow pike]

can u even get deferred from ed2

y'all ed2 applicants still have their withdraw buttons right?

[violet sable]

sir who is ever sure about any portal astrology

[violet sable]

I think you can be deferred to rd

[daring steeple]

#CancelPortalAstrology

Also it'd be funny if you got deferred from ED2 but you got deferred EA

If that's possible

Would you have to write another LOCI

[violet sable]

ill just sell my soul and ship it to Chicago

[clear sluice]

withdraw button astrology doesn't work for ED applicants iirc

only worked for EA applicants

and now maybe RDs

[fallow pike]

valid

[lilac bridge]

that'd be so sad actually

like you want me but not enough to actually accept me? damn

also i just looked it up: ED2 only has admit, waitlist, and deny

altho if u get waitlisted it seems you have to write a(nother) loci

[fallow pike]

i feel like i went too much w essays

2400 words in total both essays combined

[lilac bridge]

this is from 2021 but https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/uncommon-blog/message-our-applicants-edii

[violet sable]

Damn

[violet sable]

What do you even write there 😭

[trim karma]

more updates

[violet sable]

💀

[lament sonnet]

do any of you guys have tips on remaining a functional human being in the three days prior to your decision

[violet sable]

Light your phone on fire

[lament sonnet]

will that write my essays for me

if so i am all for it

[lilac bridge]

honestly just try to forget abt it

abt to throw myself into studying for my tests just to distract myself

[lament sonnet]

i spent all of yesterday watching cdramas and now my research paper is late but i honestly could not care less

senioritis + decision stress is too much

[sullen mirage]

fr tho i’m already slacking off in school csuse mid years done

results coming on friday isn’t helping

[charred vine]

the video doesn’t matter that much right 😭

[lilac bridge]

oh so fucking true

[lament sonnet]

im gonna do a rejection rehearsal today

use the rejection simulator to open my decision at 4pm cst

[gentle maple]

Yes we petition

[gentle maple]

That’s wayyyyy too much wtf, I hope they didn’t drag on and were somewhat interesting

[gentle maple]

Keep yourself busy

[astral ibex]

Write the additional LOCI💀

[full dirge]

Uhhhh meditate on it

[mortal quiver]

does uchicago even look at the vid prfile? mines on an unlisted yt link and no new views

[lilac bridge]

yes it does, ik @gentle maple 's AO wrote smth abt it in his admittance package

[gentle maple]

Yes

They def look

[wooden mulch]

so it turns out i forgot to upload my transcript from a college class i took and i did ed2... i just uploaded it, am i screwed? should i contact them?

[solar pike]

i think its too late

honestly i think as long as you mentioned somewhere in your app that you were taking this college class ur good

[wooden mulch]

i put it on my application, but i didnt send my grade

well i uploaded it rn

but im p sure they wont check it

[ivory grove]

i have that same milkshake sticker

that letters so vague ngl it couldve been written by ai

[gentle maple]

Lol

Yeah but they write diff letters for each person

My video was quite unique

For most others they talked about their essays, but my video was very quirky lol

[gentle maple]

Too late don’t do

[fallow pike]

if you wouldn't mind, could you share your vid profile?

[fallow pike]

are you sure you sent the link or uploaded the video on portal? I got 150 views on mine (unlisted)

[wooden mulch]

u prob got in then

[fallow pike]

i shared it w my 2 sisters, and 5 friends as well so

[wooden mulch]

oh idk then

[fallow pike]

u did ed2 too?

[wooden mulch]

yea i did

didnt do a video tho

kinda regret it

[stark urchin]

i lowk regret actually making a video

mine was mid asf

[wooden mulch]

what did u talk about?

[fallow pike]

why? time constraints?

[fallow pike]

i heard an AO say a mid video wont hurt ur app, its better than nothing

[wooden mulch]

didnt know i was going to do ed2 until the day before the cutoff for switching rd to ed2

[stark urchin]

talked ab 5 interesting facts ab myself and just recorded me doing it (ex: i play really competitive fantasy football so i had a clip of me on the couch with all my computers and stuff)

[fallow pike]

i can feel an incoming W 4 u bro

(i am an empath)

[fallow pike]

its nice. Most vids on yt aren't representative of actual profiles anyway

[wooden mulch]

oh damn i hope you're right about that

[gusty wind]

My best friend applied ed2 and we’re both so freaking nervous

[wooden mulch]

whats an empath tho

[gusty wind]

If she gets in we’ll be taking on Chicago together 😭

[stark urchin]

yea my creative twist was filming the video from a first person POV with a GoPro

[fallow pike]

congrats on northwestern tho ( uchic is better)

[gusty wind]

Ty! (No it’s not)

[wooden mulch]

LOL

[gusty wind]

Uchicago doesn’t even have my major 🙄

[wooden mulch]

what are you majoring in?

[fallow pike]

so cool man i wish i couldve done the same w my bestfriend but he got rejected from uchic ed1 and uiuc

[gusty wind]

Journalism 😎

[wooden mulch]

ayee thats sick

[fallow pike]

someone who knows the future and feelings

[gusty wind]

Ah rip, hope he finds a place he likes tho

[fallow pike]

literally i will manipulate u into believing it is ( I am a nice person)

[fallow pike]

he has umich and northeastern as safeties rn

[fallow pike]

econ ( u can just guess my ed1)

[gusty wind]

I somehow feel partially to blame if she doesn’t get in. Like I was the one who even convinced her to apply to privates in the first place. And now she has her heart set on it. And I edited her essays and they’re so good. Aghhhh

Literally dying

[wooden mulch]

harvard ez dubs

[fallow pike]

already seeing the intellectual crowd uchicago is known to have🥰

[gusty wind]

Let’s hope a 3.82 Test optional won’t kill her 😬

[wooden mulch]

stop ur boosting my ego 🥰

[fallow pike]

NO NO. admissions is a crapshoot. I was so sure my bestfriend was gonna get in because he had 1570, 5 on 3 aps, international award, international funding ( we both co-founded an org so same thing), and nice essays

[gusty wind]

Ya ya I get you. Trying so hard to not blame myself if she’s rejected

But i lowkey think she’s getting in despite her gpa test op

[fallow pike]

gpa optional??

[fallow pike]

I AM BEING REAL ONLY

[gusty wind]

Test op

[wooden mulch]

test optional

[gusty wind]

Low gpa

Well low for Uchicago

[wooden mulch]

i love you, marry me

[fallow pike]

3.7+?

[gusty wind]

Salutatorian at my school but low for Uchicago

[wooden mulch]

i applied ed2 with a 3.7 as well 💀

[gusty wind]

3.82 so not terrible

[fallow pike]

stitch at this point i am compelled to ask your gender ( i am a liberal and i fully believe gender is a social construct)

[fallow pike]

its NICE

[wooden mulch]

HAHAHAHHAHA im a strong independent woman

[gusty wind]

I hope they don’t care too much about AP scores lol

[daring steeple]

They don't

[wooden mulch]

gah damn u got into 16 schools

[fallow pike]

i dont know how gpas are calculated for me, bec i am an intl from india, but i have 95+/100 in all 4 years, and i took hardest courses ( physics chem maths economics) in high school

[wooden mulch]

u legend

[fallow pike]

i am a feminist btw

[gusty wind]

Slay cause she has a 4, a 3 and three 2s (didn’t submit the 2s)

[fallow pike]

yeah test scores r like considered on their cds

[gusty wind]

God I’m so nervous

[wooden mulch]

if i dont get into uchicago im going to stay in the kitchen and be a house mom to a rich wharton man

[fallow pike]

( me) ( i am deferred and i have a fire loci on my side)

[fallow pike]

the feminist in u leaving the body after the crapshoot college process

[gusty wind]

I mean her ecs/awards are otherworldly, her essays and video are AMAZING and she’s fgli urm so fingers crossed

[fallow pike]

she submitted the 3s?

[wooden mulch]

honestly yes 😭

[fallow pike]

shes domestic right? and full pay>

[wooden mulch]

all i wish is i get accepted or waitlisted

just not rejected

[sullen mirage]

i’m so nervous

💀

[gusty wind]

Ya, our school has a sub-20% AP pass rate. I told her to submit threes. Since a 3 in the context of our school is very good

[gusty wind]

Domestic, efc 0 lol (they don’t care tho for domestic)

[fallow pike]

i got deferred from penn ed1, uchic ed2 IS SCARY why was I a prestige whore again i could have just ed2ed to a safer place to make sure i will go to US next year.

[wooden mulch]

was the 3 on a subject near her major?

[gusty wind]

Na

[fallow pike]

they say they don't care but it def factors in admissions

[wooden mulch]

she should be fine then

[gusty wind]

She’s fine arts, the subject was stem

[fallow pike]

LIKE me slaying with that 10k/year COA

[wooden mulch]

bro i got rejected ed1 nyu. i felt so humbled

[safe wagon]

YOOO I did penn ed1

[fallow pike]

[sullen mirage]

cornell deferred me ed

[safe wagon]

oops caps

[gusty wind]

Either way, she’s urm and fgli so that should help a little bit at least

[safe wagon]

lowk tho thought I at least would get deferred penn I feel like I deserved that at the least

[fallow pike]

i got banned from a2c from my original account i am usually not this shady

[safe wagon]

But some other guy form my school got in so

I think it may be why

I felt I was qualified enough

[fallow pike]

what if she gets in and i also do and we both fall in love and then she ghosts u because i manipulate her into doing that ( I AM A NICE PERSON BTW)

[safe wagon]

Who knows tho it’s an ivy and maybe I’m just delusional

[safe wagon]

So real

It’s still a sore subject tho

[gusty wind]

Lmfaooo wtf

[safe wagon]

Still not over it fully 😔

[wooden mulch]

"nah you're too good. waitlisted/rejected"

[safe wagon]

What if I said uchicago is my #1 choice in my LOCI but I didn’t mean it

😘

[wooden mulch]

dw everyone says the school is #1 in locis

[safe wagon]

Ok good

Anyone else a business major 😋

[fallow pike]

listen i just want to go to US and i need a full ride. I applied to this college that offers full ride to intls and its like principia college and they offer christian sciences. I HAD TO MAKE UP STORIES OF BELIEVING IN GOD n stuff

[sullen mirage]

💀

you gotta do what you gotta do 🤷‍♀️

[fallow pike]

like yes babe i was reading bible in 7th grade and realised how impactful it was and it changed the trajectory of my life

[sullen mirage]

it really opened your eyes to the world around you

[safe wagon]

Plzzzz I stopped being an atheist for two weeks before penn decisions came out

I prayed three times a day

[sullen mirage]

FR SAME

did it for cornell and umich

[wooden mulch]

HAHAHAHA imagine reciting the bible and you don't know which bible to choose so you use like 5 different religious backgrounds in 1 essay

[sullen mirage]

worked for mich at least

[safe wagon]

After I got rejected I stopped believing again

That bitch failed me

Or bitches (Hinduism)

[fallow pike]

[safe wagon]

“Please let me get into penn and I promise I will pray everyday and follow u for the rest of my life”

[fallow pike]

uchicago removed withdrawal buttons

[sullen mirage]

shit its really happenign 😭

[wooden mulch]

imagine if god was like, "oh yea? pray harder. deferred."

[spice garden]

LMAO

[sullen mirage]

the withdraw form is still there

[wooden mulch]

i still have it...

[sullen mirage]

😭

my parents were on business trips when cornell ed came out

[fallow pike]

me when i purposefully spread misinformation on the internet

[sullen mirage]

and now theyre gone again

[fallow pike]

it did not

jk

[sullen mirage]

i get zero support when it comes to ed in this household

[spice garden]

bro u cant be doing this to us 😭

[fallow pike]

my parents dont know what ed is they think i am an harvard autoadmit or something

[fallow pike]

i am a nice person

[spice garden]

no cuz my heart rate actually SPIKED

[wooden mulch]

what if that was my last straw? if i just found a gun then... 😵

[safe wagon]

Double it and give it to the next person

[wooden mulch]

cant mess with the withdraw button like that 😔

[wooden mulch]

LMFAO

[wooden mulch]

[sullen mirage]

[fallow pike]

ben from never have i ever

[fallow pike]

welcome

[sullen mirage]

i’m def not ben level 😭

but my mom is the main money maker

girlboss

[gentle maple]

Oh it’s on YT

[lilac bridge]

i did not submit a vid bc the senioritis hit me (i should have, i'm literally an idiot)

[sullen mirage]

i submitted mine but it’s a bit rushed cause i thought the 2 min was a strict limit

[gentle maple]

Lemme dm the link to you actually

They might get mad at me for putting link here

[lilac bridge]

ty thomas

[fallow pike]

woah so slay

[gentle maple]

If anyone else wants the video, please dm. You can share as much as you want :DD

[gentle crescent]

Why can’t it be Friday already ☹️

[charred vine]

i asked an ao who visited n they said it’s just to put a face to the application so

dw

[brazen comet]

Well

Its not required but

Its "reccomended"

when colleges want something they say "reccomended" rather than "optional"

UChicago isn't test reccomended they are test optional

But they are Video Profile Reccomended

the video matters and its best to do it but if you didn't that doesn't mean u lost ur chance tho

[charred vine]

I understand

I was j saying iss not the bigestdeal

[mortal quiver]

my vid on yt has only been seen by me and my g counselor. no more new views since i posted

i mean since after only the 2 of us viewed

[lilac bridge]

under 48 hrs to go

don't beat yourself up abt the video profile overanalysing it wont do u any good

[gentle crescent]

You could link your video profile?

I just put mine in the uchicago portal

[safe wagon]

I didn’t make one

But then again I did EA —> RD so idrc and expect nothing and applied on a whim

[lament sonnet]

how much do yg think forgetting to put aime score will hurt me given that i applied math 😭

ftr it was a 7 from last year and i thought it was relatively good

might be wrong tho

[tame grove]

by aim score are you saying predicted scores?

also a 7 on what scale

[lament sonnet]

no aime like the math competition

[safe wagon]

if u applied RD u can prob submit an update in additional supplementals and talk ab it

[lament sonnet]

no i did ed2 aaaaaa

[gentle crescent]

I think you're going to be fine

[safe wagon]

oh then it’s too late for that but I’m sure it’s not a big deal

[tame grove]

sry I thought u misspelled aim 😭

but you'll be fine fam

gl!

[lament sonnet]

😭 hope so

ty

[gentle crescent]

decisions come out at the same time for everyone around the world right?

[lament sonnet]

yea pretty sure its 4pm cst

[gentle crescent]

or sorry, the same "time" but at different times

[tame grove]

it was this for ea

it's uncertain essentially

[gentle crescent]

like I was told they'd come out 5 PM est, but as a west coaster, 5PM est is my 2 PM

aww

[lament sonnet]

it was precisely 2pm pst for ea

[tame grove]

well its likely lAtE aFtErNoOn cst

[lament sonnet]

i know because i was refreshing the page every 15 seconds

[tame grove]

pretty sure ea released all at once

[gentle crescent]

that's around when I get out of school damn

Friday will be torturous

[lament sonnet]

that's in my 5th period

im going to cry

i have a quiz right before

[gentle crescent]

noooooo

Friday quizzes actually suck

[lament sonnet]

fail quiz -> get into uchicago -> quiz does not matter anymore

redemption arc

[gentle crescent]

manifesting it fr fr

[tame grove]

gl to yall

[gentle crescent]

🤞

[lament sonnet]

:( ty

[tame grove]

I believe yall are getting in

[brazen comet]

did u ED2?

[tame grove]

nah I did rd so I ain't getting in 🤡 but I almost did

[full dirge]

Why are all my tests Friday 🥲

Anyone else gonna probably drown themselves in schoolwork to forget about decisions releasing

[gusty wind]

God I didn’t realize waiting for bff’s Uchicago ed2 would be more stressful than waiting for my own Ed 😭

I think part of the reason is she didn’t apply ED or EA anywhere so this is her first decision besides CSUs

So it’s even more pressure

[lament sonnet]

i am drowning myself in not schoolwork

[full dirge]

Senioritis?

[lament sonnet]

the stress is a larger factor than senioritis

[gentle crescent]

I've just been sleeping more lmao

the more I'm unconscious = the less I think about decisions

[full dirge]

I like your way of thinking lmao

[sage crow]

can i see?

[lilac bridge]

yep at 4pm CST

one of my best friends applied uva ea so we're both going to be on edge at 4pm CST friday 😭

[gentle crescent]

@lilac bridge is that V from BTS in your pfp?

[lilac bridge]

yes!!

[lament sonnet]

ping ponging between "i did all the right stuff i might have a chance" and "everyone applied ed2 and there is no reason for them to select me"

pain

[gentle maple]

Just relax, nothing you can change at this point

[lament sonnet]

yes ofc the stress is entirely irrational and i realize that 😭 i just can't control myself

[wooden mulch]

i can’t sleep cuz of this stress

[lament sonnet]

real

longest 3 day wait of my life

[wooden mulch]

i’m playing scenarios in my head

[wooden mulch]

it fr is 😭

[lament sonnet]

me too except i havent gotten any acceptances yet so it's always the bad ending

i am going to have a breakdown

[wooden mulch]

i feel you

im on the edge

if someone pushes me the wrong way imma sob

[lament sonnet]

everything lowkey feels like a coinflip

[wooden mulch]

FR

bro safeties aren’t even safeties anymore

cuz of yield protection and shit like that

[lament sonnet]

i shouldve done ed1 sadg

[wooden mulch]

i forgot to give them some stuff for my app 😭

so my chances are getting slimmer

[lament sonnet]

how important was it D:

[full dirge]

Feel ya there, rn it’s like am I even going to college 🤨

[lament sonnet]

fr lmao

me too

[full dirge]

Honestly I’m trying to convince myself to like not care or give a crap yk

[lament sonnet]

most of the colleges i applied to i think i would hate

[full dirge]

Like hey it would be phenomenal if I got in but if not I’ll just wait for rd and it wasn’t meant for me

[full dirge]

Oh no that’s like not good

Do u have safeties that you like?

[lament sonnet]

coincidentally. almost every college i applied to is a t20

haha.

[lament sonnet]

no 😭

well like

[full dirge]

LMAOOO SAME

I have like 2 safeties

But I like them a lot so I would be happy going to them

[lament sonnet]

i have one "safety" and that's it i might be screwed

[full dirge]

Hey but as long as you applied to one

[lament sonnet]

it's not even a real safety

[full dirge]

And hopefully you’ll get into a t20

[lament sonnet]

it's like probably a safety with my statline but i dont even know anymore

[solar pike]

im in the same boat 😭

I have like one safety

and 0 acceptances so far 💀

[lament sonnet]

pain

[charred vine]

It’s hard to keep track of everything

[lament sonnet]

if i say what school this is i will get stoned to death i swear

[solar pike]

there is a very real possibility that I do not get into a single college and that is completely my fault

[lament sonnet]

for real lmao

[wooden mulch]

forgot to tell them about my internship and a college class transcript 😭😭😭

[wooden mulch]

bro ikr. like it’s so much stuff

[charred vine]

Everyone makes mistakes just dw

[solar pike]

whatever after Friday I won’t have to worry about college anymore 😈

[wooden mulch]

ugh i applied to too many schools

[charred vine]

Fr

[lilac bridge]

ive got two safeties but i rlly want my reaches to pull thru

[wooden mulch]

facts, hopefully uchicago loves mistakes. my parents tell me im a big one 🥰🥰🥰

[solar pike]

I just need one school just one 😭

[lilac bridge]

me scrambling to keep up w all the financial aid stuff

[wooden mulch]

BRO THAT TOO

LIKE OMGG

stupid financial aid forms

just gimme a full ride

ain’t that hard 100%

[charred vine]

Bars

[tame grove]

you're getting in guaranteed u got this ❤️

[tame grove]

a university: offers me a good aid amount
same university: defers me 🤡

like why even do that in the first place then 😭

[solar pike]

wait how do you get aid offer then get deferred

[wooden mulch]

was boutta say the same thing

that’s like dangling a piece of steak in front of a dog

[spice garden]

dude, same LMFAO

[lilac bridge]

might im gonna be so fucking humbled otherwise i need them to let me in 😭😭😭

[tame grove]

cause it was like this fun thing that said id get if if i get admitted

[tame grove]

bro u totally fucking deserve it (all of yall do)

[solar pike]

that’s crazy ngl

[gentle crescent]

it's scary asf to think that whatever awaits me at the end of this week is either going to be immense happiness or immense depression

[solar pike]

and evil

[tame grove]

i think it was mainly to like, get people to apply

but its like a t30 school it doesnt need more applications 😭

[wooden mulch]

agreed

[lilac bridge]

FUCK UMICH

[gentle crescent]

I think Uchicago is trying to get up to the same tier as the top ivies

[tame grove]

umich is the biggest asshole rn

[solar pike]

it already is

well

maybe bias

but

[gentle crescent]

I mean in terms of prestige and being well known

[tame grove]

its just like an ivy without the ivy name

[wooden mulch]

uchicago is better than some of the ivies

[solar pike]

ig

[gentle crescent]

true

[lilac bridge]

so fucking true

[solar pike]

my parents were like why tf am I signing your life away to a rando school 😭

they had never even heard of it

[tame grove]

i wasnt going to be allowed to or i would have ed2

[solar pike]

it’s crazy

[full dirge]

BRUH

[tame grove]

that and waiting on a uni decision

[solar pike]

damn

[lilac bridge]

my brother's applying to summer research programs at uchicago too so either we're both getting humbled this spring or it'll be amazing

[full dirge]

Tbh I banked my ed2 off of a weird gut feeling to uchi

[lilac bridge]

yeah fuck umich

[gentle crescent]

elaborate?

[full dirge]

Like early in my college hunt process my parents were like wtf why do u keep bringing up Uchicago

Bc we didn’t know specifics about it at that point

I just had this weird attraction to it

[tame grove]

like ove 90% of kids who applied from my school got deffered its actually nuts

[full dirge]

And basically forced my parents to keep it in the list

[tame grove]

like deny me already ffs

[gentle crescent]

gut feeling is good lol

[full dirge]

But then I did more research and the whole process and whatnot and was like damn I like this place more

[lilac bridge]

school was still in session when decisions dropped and the amt of ppl getting deferred was insaneeee

[full dirge]

So yay gut feeling

[solar pike]

same

[tame grove]

i dont think i've heard of a direct reject?

everything seems to be defer or accept

[lilac bridge]

uw uiuc umich all went defer crazy at my school from what i heard (uiuc to a lesser extent tho)

[gentle crescent]

luckily, ED2 doesn't defer anymore 🥲

[lilac bridge]

same

[ocean mortar]

3/4 ppl ik who applied to umich (incl me) got in which is so??
but the only ppl ik who applied to uw madison (me and my friend) got deferred lol

[tame grove]

oh like 87 people did from my grade lmao

out of like 100

(in state)

[full dirge]

Umich is so expensive for what 😭

[ocean mortar]

^ i got my finaid offer today and i dont even feel like applying to honors

[solar pike]

I mean it’s a top tier research school

so makes sense ig

[tame grove]

in state aid is the only reason why ive considered it as a high choice

[full dirge]

Ahhh gotcha

[tame grove]

pre-admission aid offer + decent grades = no way im getting in lmao

so chances are im going to my safetyyyyy weeeeee

[ocean mortar]

there's some1 here who got rejected umich EA

[tame grove]

possible but like just the straight up amount of deferals is insane

[ocean mortar]

ye

[tame grove]

i need to do my loci this weekend for that

[ocean mortar]

im so salty about wisconsin

i also need to do a loci

[gentle crescent]

didn't you get into mich?

[ocean mortar]

yes

[tame grove]

i only know one person who applied to madison

it seems like a decent school

[ocean mortar]

ik one other, my friend who's a legacy w/ a perfect 36 ACT

deferred

[lilac bridge]

damn

DAMN??

[gentle crescent]

what's uw madison's strongest major?

[tame grove]

ive come to realize that shit like does not rly matter

[ocean mortar]

ye

[tame grove]

one can do perfect and someone who doesnt submit tests/does worse can get in

[ocean mortar]

i'm honestly more shocked i didn't get in than him not getting in, he's lacking elsewhere

[lilac bridge]

my entire college admissions process is just me rolling dice atp

[tame grove]

i can ask my friend who got into madison? idk

[tame grove]

its rly just like playing a random generator thing

[lilac bridge]

i can very easily go straight rejects in my RD round i literally do not know atp

[tame grove]

ill call them and make sure u got in dw

[ocean mortar]

i only applied to 13 schools

[tame grove]

only? i did 5 😭

[lilac bridge]

only??? i did 8 in my RD round

[ocean mortar]

if i take a massive L and get rejected everywhere i can feasibly afford ... gap year here i come!

[gentle crescent]

if you get waitlisted, do you second sem senior grades actually matter

[tame grove]

school tend to require transcripts for like

still try

[lilac bridge]

uchicago just accept or reject me please i cannot write another loci for you

(and my 2nd semester is .... not looking too hot atm)

[gentle crescent]

real same senioritis is already kicking in

[tame grove]

oh 2nd semester is about to take a massive downhill

[ocean mortar]

[tame grove]

for ib theres this fun class called tok, so its an essay worth 2/3 of the final grades oops but its just the draft

[tame grove]

i am not risking 4 years of high school work for my diploma qualification 😭

[gentle crescent]

wait for the uchicago supplemental essays, if you submitted them through commonapp, you don't have to submit them through your uchicago portal right?

[tame grove]

nah you;re all fine

like the why us and the funky prompt ones?

[gentle crescent]

yeah yeah

those

[tame grove]

yeye then youre all good

i still dont fully get why its like a seperate thing on common appto submit

[ocean mortar]

there are ways to do it but i understand

i watched some kid chatGPT an entire Pride and Prejudice AP lit FRQ and he didnt get caught

i didnt tell because he's funny and idc

[tame grove]

its also like personal examples shut

[ocean mortar]

ahh

yeah wouldnt work lol

[tame grove]

oh im currently reading that book for english

i hate it sm

[ocean mortar]

i actually liked it 💀 i was like the only one who did

i think it's funny + i love mr. darcy

[tame grove]

its just not a literary style i enjoy

[ocean mortar]

yeah i get that

it's dense and hard to figure out

[tame grove]

also graded discussions and note checks 💀

[ocean mortar]

ugh

i have to do those for call me by your name

i was not aware of how explicit the book was

[tame grove]

oop

havent read it

[ocean mortar]

i saw the movie so i can skim

it's really good! it's just foul

[tame grove]

i dont even know how many works ive done

i think like 11-12 over this year and last year?

which leaves me like 7-9 to use for exams

funky stuff

[ocean mortar]

we had a little senior retreat thing and we got tear-jerker letters from our parents
my friend's mom gave her a chatGPT'd letter

[tame grove]

awww

[ocean mortar]

also back when uchi EA was happening some of us got on a vc and chatGPT'd uchi essays and they were kinda good?

[tame grove]

i put in a essay topic into chatgpt after i completed it (essay was done and submitted before it was out)

but like it had a decent basic look on it?

like i think its a good place to generate ideas from

[ocean mortar]

yeah i agree

i use it as a google equivalent for written busywork

like AP Gov "give an example of soft money" bullshit

[tame grove]

ew

[ivory grove]

what do u guys think

[tame grove]

im very happy i dropped history when i could

[ivory grove]

of this

[tame grove]

havent touch a course in 2 years

[tame grove]

i love this id marry it and ask it out

[ocean mortar]

im a social sciences andy so i actually like history

but i don't like ap gov! nope

mostly bc of teacher but she likes me bc she helps me run one of my clubs

[tame grove]

i am not rly a history fan lmao

[ocean mortar]

but omg that woman

[tame grove]

dropped it first chance i got

[ocean mortar]

i like fun history

big fan of everything 1900s

red scare and jfk and fdr and stuff

[tame grove]

uh well ig some aspects were good like ww2 ending

but as someone whose background is polish uh 1900s werent great

[ocean mortar]

i grew up w/ a weird fascination w/ ww2 lol

and the manhattan project

[ocean mortar]

no not at all but they're fun to learn about

[tame grove]

its good that u have a subject that u like learning about

i have that with psych

[ocean mortar]

lol im a psych major

[ocean mortar]

but yeah i think it's more an interest in politics/political history

[tame grove]

for some of my apps i am kekw

for others more comp sci

[ocean mortar]

i usually go psych/neuro, psych/sociology, psych/drama, or... my favorite... PNP for washU

psych-neuro-philosophy

[tame grove]

ooooo nice

currently for me its like some combo or option from

[ocean mortar]

if i was better at CS i'd consider data science

im a stats nerd for football

[tame grove]

i have like 1 small amount of cs experience thats it

very much love stats tho

[tame grove]

very clueless about football

[lament sonnet]

yikes if chatgpt uchic essays are good i am really doomed

[ocean mortar]

i love being a goth chick who does theater but doesn't play about ball knowledge

[ocean mortar]

dw they still needed work the concepts were just surprisingly solid

[lament sonnet]

hmm

idk from what i have seen chatgpt lacks the ability to write with nuance

idk if that is what you mean by work

[ocean mortar]

yes

basically

chatgpt writes with a rhythm, you can ask it to write a scholarly thing and it'll always end with some vague theme statement

[full dirge]

Ayyyyyy nice we love sport stats nerds

[lament sonnet]

what did yg write your uncommon essays about

[ocean mortar]

when i was doing AP gov work it kept giving me the same concluding statement for every topic i gave under the "money in campaigns" theme umbrella

[full dirge]

NASA SLS rockets, Van Gogh, John Lennon

[lament sonnet]

that is many things

[ocean mortar]

i did an old prompt - historical figure mashup - i did elton john f. kennedy

[lament sonnet]

which topic

[full dirge]

Exactly I blacked out and don’t remember writing it

[ocean mortar]

im EA->RD tho

[full dirge]

I think I did the Martian theme?

[lament sonnet]

i dont actually know who elton john is

[ocean mortar]

are you international

[lament sonnet]

no

😭

[ocean mortar]

wtf

😭

[full dirge]

Bruh-

[lament sonnet]

i mean like ive heard of him

i just know nothing about him

[full dirge]

Oh ok

[ocean mortar]

im still standing? rocketman? candle in the wind? goodbye yellow brick road? tiny dancer?

[full dirge]

Lmao I thought you’ve never heard of him haha

[ocean mortar]

there's a whole movie

yeah

[lament sonnet]

i dont know any of those

??

[ocean mortar]

wait what year were you born

[lament sonnet]

05

im a senior

?

it's gotta be 05 or 04

[ocean mortar]

yeah but idk why, all the 05's i know don't recognize the same music i do

im one of the oldest of the grade

[lament sonnet]

im just not into that kind of music idk

[sullen mirage]

my esssay was really bad

but i tried harder for the video ‼️

[ocean mortar]

yeah i get that

i grew up with elton

uchi ppl will know him, he was big in their time

[full dirge]

I think it really depends on your parents indoctrinating you into 80s music

[lament sonnet]

if you are applying to uchicago your essay was probably not that bad

[ocean mortar]

^ that's what it was lol

[lament sonnet]

oh

immigrant moment

[sullen mirage]

i wrote it kinda last minute. it speaks about me as a person but its not creative at all 😭

[ocean mortar]

but ik a guy who didn't know rihanna's shut up and drive and i was like

[lament sonnet]

i wrote mine on the day it was due too

[sullen mirage]

one of my friends didnt know what youtube was until grade 6

[lament sonnet]

both of my supps

💀

[full dirge]

Mine was written the day it was due

We all got that inner procrastinator in us

[lament sonnet]

lowkey think my uncommon essay might be my best essay

[sullen mirage]

i wrote mine like 2 days before deadline cause i wanted feedback

and my feedback guy takes years to review

[lament sonnet]

but i didnt connect it explicitly to myself and i think that could be bad

[sullen mirage]

mines the opposite

[full dirge]

Like the writer locked in our minds that gets released the day essays are due 💀

[sullen mirage]

i feel like mine reads too much like a personal statement

💀

[lament sonnet]

did you ed2

[sullen mirage]

fr tho rd apps really tested my ability to wrok under pressure

[sullen mirage]

yeah i did

[lament sonnet]

alright then you are chilling

maybe we'll all get in

who knows

[sullen mirage]

hope to see you guys in fall 😔

[full dirge]

OMG IKR

[ocean mortar]

both of my uchi essays were really good but the EA->RD rate is so astronomically low i might as well try to win the lottery instead

[lament sonnet]

truly 😭

although

idk how to tell if my essay is actually good

[ocean mortar]

i dont even want to go to uchi anymore im gonna be honest

[sullen mirage]

if i get into uchicago ill donate a building or smth

please take me

[lament sonnet]

because only the top n% with n << acceptance rate get posted online anywya

[ocean mortar]

culturally it doesn't seem like a good fit, i think it's too rigorous for me and i don't looove the core

[sullen mirage]

i just love their campus

thats it honestly

[lament sonnet]

but cold

[sullen mirage]

thats the only reason i considered applying in the first place

[full dirge]

Best mascot ever too

[sullen mirage]

man im from canada ive seen wrose

[ocean mortar]

i love chicago, i love the quirkiness, i love what it offers me. i don't love the cost!

[full dirge]

Do you guys believe in buying merch in advance?

[ocean mortar]

i love their font omg

[sullen mirage]

i drove 8 hours to visist in person

thats enough demonstrated interest!

drove into a new fucking timezone

[lament sonnet]

[full dirge]
