i would've ed to chicago if i didn't get into mich

#

but now it's not that worth it

daring steeple
#

1% is rumored

#

But it most definitely is super low

foggy lintel
#

but i assume so

safe wagon
#

My acceptance rate is probably 0.005%

#

Bc I applied EA and got deferred

#

Not counting on anything tho just kinda applied on a whim tbh my supps were so cringe

foggy lintel
safe wagon
#

Yeah exactly

foggy lintel
#

i fully don't expect to get in for this college

safe wagon
#

Hoping for umich Ross tho

#

If I get into LSA first obviously

foggy lintel
#

good luck!

#

i got accepted by lsa

safe wagon

Ahhh nice. thanks so much!!! @broken mason

#

I didn't know that applying rd will give me even a lower chance otherwise I would've changed to ED2

gentle maple
#

It’s on YouTube if you wanna watch

#

Just search Thomas with the video profile lol

If you want dm me and I’ll dm you the link

I am ready

Can visualise the rejection on screen

I use the ivy hub simulator for best realistic visuals troll

#

Like I actually think my "unique" essay is somewhat good but when I saw the rd acceptance % I just...😐

weak pollen
clear sluice
#

After this I gave up hope

#

Because college apps have a huge element of luck lmao

#

A lot of times ur essay or ur app isn’t the deciding factor

tame grove
#

i feel like i personally guaranteed myself that doing ea -> rd

daring steeple
#

If I get in I'll literally start sobbing

broken mason
#

Fella got 20 acceptances

#

thats crazy

foggy lintel
#

wait

#

can any chicago admits help me with something

#

i have a question

gentle maple
#

I doubt it will help you with your current application in the pool, but ask away!

foggy lintel
#

ah so

#

i have a very specific situation where

#

i wrote for this prompt

#

"Prompt: Merriam-Webster defines epiphany as ā€œAn intuitive grasp of reality through something usually simple and striking.ā€ Isaac Newton had his apple tree. Scout had Boo Radley’s Porch. Cher Horowitz had her living room doorway. What was your something, both simple and striking, that sparked noteworthy realization?"

gentle maple
#

I’m no AO but I’ll answer it to my best ability

foggy lintel
#

but it's actually not an official prompt

#

it's like an example prompt

#

from a website

gentle maple
#

Oh

foggy lintel
#

but uchicago lets you choose your own prompts

#

so if i use this

gentle maple
#

Yes go for it

foggy lintel
#

is it plagiarism?

#

keep in mind i wrote my own essay

#

it's just

gentle maple
#

Make sure you cite it

foggy lintel
#

the prompt

gentle maple
#

Cute the prompt in the question part

#

When you submit the essay (if you didn’t Alr) you have to make a separate file

foggy lintel
#

hmmm

#

i haven't submitted it

foggy lintel
#

i'm not sure if common app lets me upload

#

more than 1 file

gentle maple
#

Yeah separate file

#

They let you dw

foggy lintel
#

huh. lemme take a look

#

it says only one

#

😢

#

i'm not sure if i should add a citation bc on the one hand i don't think they want you using non u-chicago prompts

#

but at the same time

#

if i don't ciite it

#

is it still valid?

gentle maple
gentle maple
foggy lintel
#

i'll just cite it at the bottom of page maybe

gentle maple
#

Just different pages

#

And clear italicized prompt

gentle maple
foggy lintel
#

okok

#

gotchu

#

just submitted!

#

ty for the help

gentle maple

Congrats!

LOL

foggy lintel
#

but yeah no

gentle maple
#

hope to see you there in the fall

foggy lintel
#

this school is like

#

i applied but i don't expect to get in at all

#

cuz its so difficult for RD

foggy lintel

what’s your top school

outta your 20

berkeley
but got no aid and would still have to pay 50k even with the SEEDS scholarship

soft perch
#

Were you guys test optional?

#

coz i went optional

weak pollen
#

I went test optional as well

#

I did watch the video profile as well and loved it too<3

#

My SAT score was horrendous, there was no way I would submit that🄓

gentle maple
gentle maple
#

it was borderline maybe i shouldnt submit tho so just wanted to show them it wasnt a bad score lol

arctic jasper
#

Do you guys think a video response is important

#

Like am i disadvantaged myself if i dont submit that

gentle maple
#

Nah, little cherry on top

#

Just gives more personality to your application

#

I was talking to all the accepted students and seems like less than half did the vid

arctic jasper
#

I dont even realize they recommend to submit video until i watch youtube😳

soft perch
#

caps 😭

soft perch
gentle maple
#

not sure about the ED2 pool tho

#

seemed like a good amount tho

safe wagon
#

should I have submitted a 1450

#

i went test optional lol

silk flare
#

I think 1450 test optional is a good idea

#

especially considering your demographic is extra competitive

safe wagon
#

yea that’s what I was thinking

#

I’m not counting on this school anyways I always forget I applied

#

which is probably a good thing considering I’m RD

silk flare
#

UChicago RD is pretty fucked so

austere stag
#

yeah lol

#

for anyone still here

#

RD isn’t gonna. r easy

#

chicago prefers ED and ED2 applicants far more

clear sluice
#

y’all

#

very honest suggestion

#

forget about uchicago

#

genuinely forget about the college

#

don’t even keep the decision date in mind ngl

#

uchic RD is a true bloodbath

#

i’m just forgetting about the college and gonna open the letter with absolutely no emotion when it comes

#

if you get in, big dub, if you don’t, then it’s what u expected

ugh I think I should have switched it to ED

getting in RD is the equivalent of being god

having a good sat score is not gonna make u stand out whatsoever among ivies

a 1600 is just as special as a 1510 when it comes to ivies, maybe not at MIT though

gentle maple

Lol

I had many other things I think

when are decisions going to / speculate to come out (ping me when replying pls)?

they always release on a friday

#

they probably get through the pool so fast because they just denied everyone

#

they do ctrl + F in your application and if they don’t find that you cured cancer or something you go straight to the deny pile

oh well transfer admissions exist

austere stag

i mean technically

#

they don’t reject as many bc

#

they waitlist a LOT

slate flume
#

truly heavy on yield protection huh?

austere stag
#

yes

#

they have harvard level yield bc of their ed priority

maiden jolt

Praying for everyone šŸ™šŸæ

gentle maple

Bring back those dubs

oh gosh

#

"late afternoon" did ed2 also release like ed1/ea at 4pm central?

gentle maple
#

5pm EST

#

so yes

#

4pm cst

tame grove
#

oh how funn

safe wagon
#

i understand it’s a super low acceptance RD

#

but how many ppl does it equate to?

#

like less than 100?

tame grove
#

i have no idea, but most are definitely from the two ed rounds

gentle slate
#

how many were already admitted?

tame grove
#

i think its interesting how the portal doesnt say anything yet, currently just the main admission page

UCHICAGO NEXT FRIDAY????

oh my GODDD

Lol

WTF THATS SO SOON

Im going to Chicago for trip 2 days after decision, gonna be šŸ—æ šŸ’€

do they waitlist more than reject

limber gazelle

idts

torpid sequoia

yeah im definitely getting rejected for sure

if that happens i wont be too disappointed though because i already set my expectations so low for this school rd round carljoy

clear sluice
#

if i remember correctly

#

harvard was like 81%

#

and uchicago 84%

#

lmfao

clear sluice
#

so i assume very few spots left now yeah lol

clear sluice
#

it usually shows up in the portal later

#

was similar during EA as well

clear sluice
#

similar numbers actually

#

but i guess my perspective is mainly just from reddit and discord lol

full pagoda
#

i'm kind of sad i didn't do ea for more schools but it's fine cause i'm not sure if uchicago would have been great for me

daring steeple
#

Meh, it's alr

#

Uchicago deferred a lot of EA anyways, you'd probably be in the same spot

clear sluice
#

yeah fr lol

gray geyser
#

try not to dwell on it cuz there’s nothing you can do now, try not to worry about things you can’t change, i know it’s easier said than done but it’ll make you feel better in the long run

#

and uchicago deferred a mass majority of ea applicants, regardless of if they had any fighting chance at being admitted in the other rounds

clear sluice
#

yeah fr

#

just forget about uchicago tbh

crimson turtle
#

I wonder what school has the highest yield rate

safe wagon
#

~80% of uchi admits r ED1 + ED2

crimson turtle
#

Someone Ik applied to 3 schools EA MIT UChi Stony accepted to all 3 EA

#

😭

clear sluice
#

Lol

#

It’s higher than Harvard

safe wagon
#

I’m assuming like 90s bc basically all the applicants r ed 1 ed 2

teal gulch
#

What’s their RD admissions rate?

daring steeple
#

Low

clear sluice
#

Uchic yield is like 84% iirc

#

Harvard is 81 or 82

mental rivet
#

^^

clear sluice
#

yield rate for CO26

#

harvard

clear sluice
#

so MIT edges out uchic by 0.26%

tame grove
fringe granite
#

Whats yield rate

austere stag
#

so a school with a 80% yield rate means that 80% of the applicants who get accepted choose to attend

mental rivet
#

woah your name changed!

austere stag
#

its higher with more prestigious universities like Harvard Stanford and MIT

#

but also among schools that pursue other ways of raising yield (preferring ED applicants etc)

mental rivet
#

i should put that in my name too, it’s too accurate šŸ˜”

austere stag
# fringe granite Whats yield rate

so when talking about UChicago, the school tends to like protecting its yield by largely picking their class from their ED and ED2 pools, which consist of students that will 100% attend if accepted. This leaves very few seats for students to get through the RD option

#

hope it helped!

clear sluice
#

essentially only the EA and RD applicants can be a part of that 15% that doesn't accept their offers

#

there are a few exceptions like those who renege on ED but that's irrelevant

tame grove
#

listen ive already accepted that im getting denied fr

clear sluice
#

same

tame grove
#

choosing rd was essentially autodenial

clear sluice
#

tbh i feel i'm gonna get waitlisted

#

a lot of ppl will be WLed

tame grove
#

but like how many come off the waitlist

#

not that many

clear sluice
#

hardly

#

so it's a de facto rejection

tame grove
#

at this rate im going to my local small uni

#

accepting it

safe wagon
#

@tame grove why didn’t u ed

#

to uchi

tame grove

got deferred šŸ™ƒ

So why do people say UChicago’s mental health environment is terrible?

glass onyx
sharp pulsar
glass onyx
#

it’s just very stressful

#

and the workload is very high

gray geyser
#

yeah i’ve also heard the environment is competitive and there’s a lot of grade deflation

glass onyx
#

yeahhh

#

but otherwise the school seems so coollll

#

what major did y’all apply for

full pagoda
safe wagon
glass onyx
clear sluice
#

it’s more so

#

The quarter system

#

Means you have exams literally every month

#

That makes the workload quite high

#

my sister graduated recently so I can speak to that

#

but the school isn’t like the stereotype ā€œwhere fun goes to dieā€ lol you can def find your type of fun since there’s so many different types of people

#

4% acceptance šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€

#

welp uchic more selective than Harvard this year

glass onyx
#

uchi rd

#

is acc so scary wtf

full pagoda
clear sluice
#

4% will be the overall acceptance rate

#

šŸ’€

#

And the ED rate was 7% according to the guy above

#

so well RD cursedmoon

glass onyx
#

im trying to be like realistic and be like oh well yk its prob like a

#

half percent acceptance rate

#

but dang i rly want uchi

austere stag
#

because of the amount of work people typically en dup putting in

#

out of the top tier colleges it is argueably one of the most intensive ones

#

partly because the academic year is split into quarters, making things like final exams and stuff more frequent

mental rivet
sharp pulsar
#

This does not happen lol

#

Being from a rural area is a hook because they need and actively seek geographic diversity

full pagoda
#

anyways

trim karma
#

there’s no isef qualifying science fairs in my state and the science fairs that do exist are exclusive to a tiny region up north, we also don’t offer AMC at all

sharp pulsar
#

Your location and opportunities

#

It’s a good example of why SAT required is good

#

Bc as long as ur SAT is above mit average you can still show that academic capability

#

As long as u show some initiative based on what’s available + have the average / above average stats you have a good chance

trim karma
#

I should be good on ecs and academics

#

my ecs are average for bay area but in my area they’re insane

#

math wise As in calc 1 to calc 3 and taking discrete math (all in person at an accredited college) so i’m good for math

#

essays were fine

#

just worried about other stuff out of my control

sharp pulsar
#

You have nothing to worry about if u are

trim karma
#

just barely under but a ton of extenuating circumstances

#

which i explained in additional info

#

so idk how that’ll affect me

broken mason
trim karma
#

that’s the only thing i’m worried about

silk flare
#

MIT 25th percentile math is 790

broken mason
silk flare
#

All the BS they say about 720+ being equal is just a straight lie

#

Idk why they feel the need to like about it

trim karma
#

i have a ton of regional math awards as well šŸ™

silk flare
#

But like whatever Lmao

silk flare
#

It is

broken mason
#

Maybe it just so happens to be that all the students with the criteria they want, happen to have 790

trim karma
#

i attended a program with a 790 median with a sat score of ~730

silk flare
#

That implies that 790 correlates with other things (say good ecs) that mean a student has a better app

#

It's not like kids with 770 math are too fucking stupid to do ecs or something

trim karma
#

and most people there had scores in the 1500s, but there were a generous amount of people who didn’t submit or had 700-750

broken mason
silk flare
#

Yeah there's no cutoff

trim karma
#

my sat math is above a 720

silk flare
#

But it's clear that 800 has an edge over 720

broken mason
#

agreed

silk flare
#

Idk why they lie about that

trim karma
#

i seriously don’t think they’re lying

broken mason
trim karma
#

i think that an 800 is an advantage, but a 720 doesn’t mean you’re out of the game

silk flare
#

Yeah ok if you have below 700 ven I doubt you're gonna get in tbh

#

But I still think they'll review your app

full pagoda
#

my act math is a 29 but my composite is 34 😭

silk flare
#

If you got something extraordinary ur ok

full pagoda
#

and i want to do PHYSICS

silk flare
#

Well maybe idk MIT rejects everyone

full pagoda
#

i just suck at the math sections

silk flare
#

But that means they do differentiate

#

Like I'm not arguing with that

#

But their claim that it's all the same is just bs

trim karma
#

they won’t cut you for being at a 720 if you show in other ways that’s you’re academically sound

broken mason
#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø mit coach wouldn’t even try recruiting me because I had a B in calculus BC despite getting an A in UNC multivariable calculus

trim karma
#

damn

broken mason
silk flare
#

I go to a shitty title 1 HS with a 50% grad rate

#

And I self studied a 5 on calc bc

silk flare
#

Does that do me favors

i’m rlly lucky to have gotten all A/A+s in my calc and discrete math classes

silk flare

(school doesn't offer calc bc)

sharp pulsar

#

i got a barely 89 in my calc class last semester which is so sad

sharp pulsar
#

They wanna make sure u can pass the required math exams

full pagoda
#

but all my science classes are As

#

for every semester

trim karma
#

i think the point of mit’s median is that people can prove their math ability by getting near perfect scores

#

but it doesn’t disqualify you if you don’t have a near perfect but prove it elsewhere

sharp pulsar
#

I think mit is fair for expecting a 780ish or higher

#

SAT is algebra 2

#

Like

#

You’ve gotten understand calc very well to do well at MIT

silk flare
#

I'll give my quite honest opinion

#

Its wonderful

trim karma
#

sat is also just a 3h test while ur expected to do well in math over all 4 years at mit

silk flare
#

I hope all my competition perishes

#

So I hope they are super biased against low sat Ms

trim karma

šŸ’€

sharp pulsar
#

Like I’m not even in stem and my math is fine

#

Cause knowing alg2 should be a baseline academically

trim karma
#

agreed

#

i just hope MIT’s math classes aren’t structured like SAT problems

MIT is like proofs galore

full pagoda
#

that's true

#

i don't think i wrote any of my essays about my accomplishments

#

the biggest ec i wrote ab was thespians

#

and that's it šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

#

maybe that's my problem? idk

trim karma
#

i think you still should include some of your accomplishments in your essays because it shows the depth of them

#

although my ā€œwhat do you do for funā€ prompt was a rework of another essay and wasn’t achievement focused

#

but still showed depth

full pagoda
#

i didn't feel like my accomplishments were necessarily something to write home about because i thought talking about my activities were much more important personally

#

something that i love to do

trim karma
#

ah i meant activities

full pagoda
#

oh nvm i see what you mean

trim karma
#

ā€œOnce a ā€œshut-inā€ in my cluttered bedroom, I now help other students develop and improve their own chess skills, often tutoring curious students in my school’s library after our astronomy club meetings conclude. The state of my bedroom now serves as sanctuary for my prized cherry-wood chess set and a testament to the work I have put in as I improve my intrapersonal and technical chess skills, having the pleasure of simply helping others too.ā€

#

part of my pleasure essay

full pagoda
#

what was that one for

trim karma
#

what do you do for fun

#

We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it.*
225 words or fewer

full pagoda
#

oh i don't remember that prompt

#

was it mit?

trim karma
#

yep

full pagoda
#

yeah i didn't apply, namely because i thought it would be too much of a reach for me + i didn't think i would finish before then

trim karma
#

ahh right you made the trade off between stanford and mit

#

i did the reverse

full pagoda
#

oh god that prompt but for stanford though šŸ’€

#

"One of my favorite extracurricular activities is Thespians because it's a way for me to express myself and because I don't really feel stressed doing work for Thespians, and also that I can express how grateful I am to hear and sing and dance with my cochlear implants working."

#

even with your gpa you’d still get ~30k in merit

#

and scholarship universe can cover the rest 🤩

#

i’m waiting on a major scholarship which releases this week but you can easily net 10-20k just applying to scholarships on there

#

the one i applied for doesn’t combine with any others but i’d be receiving 50k in merit per year

full pagoda
#

can i apply thru common app

#

i'm going to do this rn tbh

trim karma
#

yes!!

#

and guess what

#

they don’t require a personal essay

that’s why i applied to them first

#

but i think i still submitted a personal essay šŸ’€
