[daring steeple]

u should get the bot with buttons

Boosting the message count fr

Does that one work yet

Last I checked it was beta

[daring steeple]

idk i remember using it a few months ago

u guys know u can just use &

if u have oen card left u can do & uno!

then ppl cant uno callout u

[full pagoda]

that's op

tbh

[broken mason]

I wasn't suspecting you bro 😹

I dont see what you gain from lying about deafness

[teal mauve]

It won’t join

[daring steeple]

rip

[full pagoda]

probably that colleges would look upon it favorably as a sign of a rare applicant because congenitally deaf people rarely attend colleges (~5%) and vast majority go to colleges like Gallaudet that accommodate them

[mellow acorn]

ey it's out this fri right

[full pagoda]

but in reality it would be pathetically easy to find out whether an applicant is lying about this major disability

yes

[mellow acorn]

rizz

[full pagoda]

is uchicago 7 pm pst?

[mighty badge]

i think its 7 est or cst

[spice garden]

its 4 cst 💀

[mighty badge]

oops LOL

[clear sluice]

5PM EST

[glass onyx]

gah i checked naviance and no one at my school has gotten into uchicago since 2016💀💀

[full pagoda]

someone got in from my school but it was through questbridge finalist match

(This year)

[glass onyx]

and this is a super competitive public that sends like 7-10 to HYPSM a year out of 400

i’m wondering if we’re blacklisted lol

[heavy surge]

How do you check this?

[full pagoda]

scattergram

[glass onyx]

if your school uses naviance you can go to the college profile and click admissions and it’ll give u like the applied accepted enrolled for each school

but it’s like. self reported

so it might not be the most accurate

[heavy surge]

Gotcha thanks

So your school has to basically already be on naviance?

[glass onyx]

yeah

[teal gulch]

I just want to confirm UChicago is at 2pm PST on the 10th?

[daring steeple]

Yeah around there

[clear sluice]

Yes

Confirmed pretty much

[tender pasture]

2 am for me😅😅

[clear sluice]

3:30 here

[ashen violet]

Wtf I’ll be in school

oh nvm no I won’t

[mental rivet]

You (in the back of civics class): "Fuck! Fuck UChicago! It's a bum ass school anyways!" slams head into wall
Teacher: "Uhh, I asked what the answer to #43 was..."

[ashen violet]

fr

[teal mauve]

There is none!!!

If we round to the next highest prestige factor (41), it’s BU, UIUC, and William & Mary

[mental rivet]

Uhh this is civics class

[teal mauve]

Uhh we’re learning about the politics behind USNWR

It’s a part of the US after all

[mental rivet]

God I hate these kids

[sharp pulsar]

Dawg how many times r u gonna say this

Plus ur gonna get into Yale 🥰‼️

Trust

Dw about it

[glass onyx]

I ONLY TOLD YOU

[austere stag]

same lol

where u

which country

[austere stag]

this was peakccomedy

also guys barely anyone gets in RD so take a waitlist/ rejection (basically same thing) w a grain of salt

[clear sluice]

how are my fellow uchic lads feeling

idk why im concerned abt this decision bc i pretty much know what it’s gonna be but still it’s a bit scary

[tender pasture]

dubai hbu

[limber gazelle]

lol same

i would be very surprised if i didnt get rejected

[clear sluice]

yea fr

tbh i wont be surprised with a WL/reject

cuz they WL tons of ppl

[tender pasture]

is rd accceptance rate 1%???

[safe wagon]

yeah around that

give or take there’s around 200-300 spots left

wait no

[tender pasture]

stop no way

[safe wagon]

less than that

[tender pasture]

idk what to expect

[tender pasture]

i hv no acceptances so far that r top20

fuck

[safe wagon]

ok so out of the 2041 accepted 84% attended

[tender pasture]

atp if i get in wld b a miracle

[safe wagon]

ya I think there’s like 300 or less spots left

[tender pasture]

😅😅😅😅😅

[safe wagon]

ED1 + ED2 ≈ 6%

then rd is %1

well last year

the overall acceptance rate was 5.4%

so less than that lol

[tender pasture]

brb re reading my uchicago essays

[limber gazelle]

[austere stag]

SAME LOL

[modern sable]

The only essays I don't cringe at and actually LOVE

[modern sable]

Lmao😭😭😭😭😭😭

[tender pasture]

[modern sable]

Kinda the opposite I love my palindrome essay but the why us is normal

Anyone here who got in RD

[past tree]

This is this year?

[slender estuary]

No it’s last year I think

Cause it says class of 2026 at the top

[past tree]

Oh I didn't see that

💀

[austere stag]

my essays are weried

[mental rivet]

This was in #💪-chad-rejects but I thought it should be here:

#💪-chad-rejects message

[teal gulch]

I wrote my long essay in 10-15 mins without using an essay I submitted elsewhere. It is so bad I haven't been able to make it past the first 2 sentences when trying to re-read it(and I wrote 400 words). I wish I could just get a refund on the application fee and not be considered as there is no way they accept me lol.

[ivory grove]

yikes

[teal gulch]

At least it wasn't the worst essay I submitted. I also wrote my Stanford roommate one in ~10-15 mins, and I can't even get past the first 15 words of that. And Stanford is my 2nd choice 😂 .

[heavy surge]

What? Stanford as a second choice! You got the wrong mentality going in lol

[past tree]

Ngl I think my roommate essay slapped even after re reading it

V proud of it

[teal gulch]

I meant if I ranked where I applied by how much I would like to go to each one, Stanford would be second or third. I didn't mean it as Stanford being a 'safety school or something'.

[heavy surge]

lol I was just messing with you

I assume caltech is your first choice

That would make stanford a natural second

[teal gulch]

Yeah, but I procrastinated and then just didn't submit a Research portfolio to Caltech despite research being the largest(or 2nd largest) part of my app. I also only spent 10 hrs on my app there, so I'll probably get rejected.

[heavy surge]

I mean I didn't do the uchi video portfolio

but lowkey i dont really wanna go to uchi

the grinding seems like too much

[teal gulch]

The stakes are quite a bit lower for me because if I don't get in where I would like, I will just stay in HS for another year and actually put adequate time into my apps. I just really don't want to do that because I hate HS.

[past tree]

Oh ur a junior

[heavy surge]

true

[safe wagon]

the three schools u talked about u said all of the essays for them were procrastinated and rushed 💀

i hope u didn’t do that for all of them

[teal gulch]

Yeah, it was like that for all of them. I spent even less time on some of the other schools I applied to.

[safe wagon]

huh

why would u do that

[teal gulch]

I had a lot of medical things(and was hospitalized for a long period of time) + didn't decide to graduate this year until the end of September-October, which was right before all of that started due to a 'failed' surgery.

[heavy surge]

I’m sorry to hear this man! I’d take a gap year if I were you. Rest up and maybe pick up a few extras if they won’t overwhelm you. Unless you get into one of your top top choices ofc.

[ashen violet]

I stayed the extra year! same thing happened to me. I could’ve graduated jr yr but my health was so shit and I was hospitalized for months

[safe wagon]

ohh I’m sorry to hear that

i suggest a gap year

[teal gulch]

Alright, thanks. I’ll probably have to figure this out after I get decisions.

[clear sluice]

i love this

[past tree]

Take them then, but why withdraw your app? RD isn't binding in any way

[wide shuttle]

so i havent checked this server in a while but i find it hilarious that this is the first message that popped up when i opened this thread today

(context: it was referring to ed2 release date but thats really fucking hilarious)

[clear sluice]

why withdraw

No point of withdrawing

just let it stay

[austere stag]

if i get in here it’s my first choice

[spice garden]

manifesting for u!

[modern sable]

Lmao even that nice message everyone has disappeared for me

I wanna read some uncommon essays anyone wants to read each other's essays?

Dear UChicago can I get 400k of that new 35 million international aid donation

I'll donate 40 million for international aid when I'm rich

Um

If I didn't complete the self report form on the portal but had my test scores on the common app and indicated that I wanted them to consider my scores

They've received the scores on the common app right? Because it doesn't show up on my portal or on my common app pdf

[fringe magnet]

hey i think you're fine some test optional colleges suppress the sat on CA pdf so that why you don't see it but they will still receive it on their end

i did the same thing as you and never self report on the portal

upenn and harvard explain this on their websites

[ashen violet]

[versed salmon]

Yikes!!

[full ginkgo]

OP

[ashen violet]

yeah LMFAOOO

[full ginkgo]

COMMON VISIT W

[versed salmon]

does anyone wanna read my essay about Suharto being born in Papua

[slate flume]

You know the funny thing? UChicago requires recommends a video portfolio. Caltech doesn't ask for anything at all.

Yet for UChicago I made a very bland video portfolio, and for Caltech I created a (relatively) much better video portfolio and submitted it like a "creative portfolio" (Since Caltech doesn't actually ask for it)

[slate flume]

VISIT LOL

[full ginkgo]

ye

[slate flume]

Istg MIT calling me Visit in that email is so hilarious

[versed salmon]

Interesting

[full ginkgo]

it shall forever remain Visit now

[slate flume]

Wana see both?

[ashen violet]

I wonder what they think of my essay

I guess I’ll see later

[versed salmon]

Why not

[slate flume]

huh

[versed salmon]

while I'm at it I should send y'all my essay

[ashen violet]

bro we were supposed to do the video?

[versed salmon]

It's recommended

I couldn't care enough

[ashen violet]

ok whatever I’m getting rejected anyways so it’s fine

[slate flume]

As you can see, I made a (relatively) poor video for the place that requires recommends it (UChicago) and a much better video for a place that doesn't even ask for it (Caltech)

[ashen violet]

not you ultra doxxing yourself

[slate flume]

As long as you don't have my application number or phone number or address or anything thats "actually" doxxing, Im gucci

[ashen violet]

ok I’m gonna delete it bc I think it’s not allowed sry

[versed salmon]

Mmm interesting

[versed salmon]

osint time

Wait

Do guardians of the rankings have mod powers???

[ashen violet]

only on here

[slate flume]

💀 👍

[versed salmon]

[versed salmon]

I took a look

I can see the diff

[slate flume]

exactly

[ashen violet]

I didn’t do a video for any that asked for it

LMAO

[slate flume]

me doing one for caltech that didn't even ask

[ashen violet]

caltech seems miserable

[slate flume]

my caltech AO is gonna be like

cool video😃👍 but who asked

[celest path]

Sharing videos in server is not allowed

But you can share in DMs if asked

[ashen violet]

ok I was right good

[celest path]

👍

My video was ehh

Didn’t have as much of the effect i wanted

[ashen violet]

Idk what I’d say in the video so I didn’t do it

I probably would’ve said some random dumb shit and nerd out about physics

[celest path]

I referenced nacirema

But projected it to medicine

And then talked abt myaelf

And why i like med

[ashen violet]

omfg I should’ve done my fucking physics IV bag lesson thing

UGHHHH

that would’ve been so good

[versed salmon]

Wtf where my essay at

[versed salmon]

JAE

Do u have any good news

[celest path]

Hello

[ashen violet]

but idk if it would scare the AO to see blood so maybe not

[celest path]

No decision yet

I thouhht

[versed salmon]

Aww

[celest path]

Bro the vid recording parts of mine took so many takes

Cuz i didnt know if i should make eye contact w the cam the whole time

Or smile

Or not smile

Idek

[celest path]

Ill share it if i get accepted

💀

[versed salmon]

@slate flume that's part of mine, if u want the full thing I can send it to u lol

I find that it's quirky

[celest path]

Which isnt gonna happen

[versed salmon]

Nah nah it's gonna be ok

[celest path]

Lmao for my why uchi essay i opened w a story abt how i stepped ona. Bee

While at uchi

For summer camp

[versed salmon]

Lmaooo

[celest path]

Then transition w some of the displayed interest i did

[versed salmon]

Mm

[celest path]

And then related uchicago to a beehive

[slate flume]

i made mine in like one take

[celest path]

And discussed like four major factors

[slate flume]

perks of youtubing

[versed salmon]

One take man

[celest path]

My creative essay

[slate flume]

to be fair I spent a solid 3 min thinking before recording

[ashen violet]

I would probably get banned if I shared my essay on here LMFAO idk it’s kinda

[celest path]

Was j

On crack

Iden

Idek*

[full pagoda]

i think ur essay is fine

it's something but it's not weird

[slate flume]

i need to study math

[high skiff]

lmao i wrote my essay abt thumb wrestling

[slate flume]

qill check it later

[ashen violet]

It’s not explicitly sensitive content but it sounds like it

[versed salmon]

3 min bro some people take 3 days weeks months or years 😭

[slate flume]

*practice

[celest path]

Which prompt

[versed salmon]

I need to too but here we both are

[ashen violet]

I made my own

[versed salmon]

YESSSS

[slate flume]

like I said, perks of YouTubing

[versed salmon]

make ur own prompt is such a vibe

[celest path]

I scripted and most was voiceover

[slate flume]

used to editing and recording

[celest path]

Yeah lots of mine was editing

[ashen violet]

This prompt

[celest path]

Was fun

To edit

[ashen violet]

I wrote in the pov of a mango

[celest path]

Lmao

[full pagoda]

i made my own prompt about how we can't comprehend infinity so what are other things we can't comprehend

[versed salmon]

by the time I had gotten to the point of uchi deferral I was so done with apps that I said fuck it

so yeah

[celest path]

I j did one from last ur

Ye

Yr

[ashen violet]

I liked yours a lot

[celest path]

The one abt like changing one letter of major names

[ashen violet]

I reverse engineered a prompt

[celest path]

Or smth

[ashen violet]

I had an essay I wanted to use so I made my prompt based on the essay

lol

[celest path]

How long were both if yalls essays

[full pagoda]

we have like 8 more hrs if deferral letters are true

um

[celest path]

Mine were both like 800words 💀💀

[ashen violet]

2 pages single spaced

[full pagoda]

a page and a half idk

i dont remember

it wasn't insanely long

i wrote about how we can't comprehend time

[celest path]

I shouldnt have done rd

💀

Shouldve ea

Oops

!!

[lilac bridge]

you may have ended up in the rd pool anyways 💀

uchi ea is brutal

[full pagoda]

isn't it less than RD

[lilac bridge]

maybe

they like to defer ea a lot

[celest path]

uwu

Idk if i get wl or accept i think id relax more

For other decisions

But i dont expect to get into any of the upcoming three

Of uchi caltech and mit

[lilac bridge]

oh wow good luck!!

[slate flume]

YO NAT

its been so long

[lilac bridge]

OMG VIJIT

[slate flume]

I remember seeing you 24/7 during EA

in this thread

then you suddenly dissapeared

well so did I

[lilac bridge]

LMFAO uchi rejected me in ed2

[slate flume]

but yo!!

[lilac bridge]

so i disappeared

[slate flume]

oh

:(

[clear sluice]

yk

[slate flume]

I dont even care about UChicago tbh

I know I aint quirky enough

[clear sluice]

might just be better to do direct RD

[slate flume]

already expecting a rejection

[lilac bridge]

ACTUALLY A BLESSING TBH i think i wouldve hated it

[slate flume]

ITS UC DAVIS

[clear sluice]

RD acceptance rates are still somwhere around 2%

[slate flume]

THAT I AM ANXIOUS FOR

[clear sluice]

EA to RD deferred acceptance rate is 0.5% 💀

[slate flume]

(and then Caltech in the evening of the same day for me)

[slate flume]

lmfao

[lilac bridge]

honestly unless you had super good essays ready for nov 1, just do rd

[slate flume]

0% for me

[celest path]

Lfmao

[restive pike]

how come uchicago didnt bother to share any emails or ANYTHING at all to inform us about the decisions themselves

[lilac bridge]

YOU'RE GONNA GET IN I BELIEVE

[clear sluice]

yeh true tbh

[slate flume]

LETS HOPE SO

[restive pike]

many wouldnt know what hit them today

[slate flume]

their CS is competitive

its speculated < 10%

[lilac bridge]

they send an email like 30 min after decisions drops

[clear sluice]

yeh

[celest path]

I applied premed

I think

💀

[restive pike]

but they sent emails beforehand too, for previous years

[lilac bridge]

IS UC DAVIS TODAY

[slate flume]

if you already check the decision by then - then they don't email you at all.

[full ginkgo]

Its Visit now

[slate flume]

TODAY (tomorrow for me)

[celest path]

Gess

Yess

[slate flume]

1 hour after UChicago

[full ginkgo]

He changed his name

[lilac bridge]

oh wait fr

[slate flume]

I will check them at 6am though. I have my math exam and sleep deprivation aint good

[lilac bridge]

i got an email for ed2 even tho i checked

[slate flume]

huh

odd

maybe cuz I signed the defer form?

[lilac bridge]

you're waking up to an acceptance

[full ginkgo]

😔

[slate flume]

most universities using slate don't email once you have checked

most

maybe it could be different idk

[restive pike]

chicago is so pretty FFS i wanna go

[slate flume]

mood booster for my math final which is in like 3 hours of that

[lilac bridge]

what is slate

[slate flume]

basically university status pages are running on this platform called slate

cuz they don't want to make their own code and keep running it and shit

they outsource it to slate

[lilac bridge]

is that why every portal looks the exact same

[slate flume]

which makes stuff easy for them

[slate flume]

yes

most of them run on slate

[lilac bridge]

ohhhhh icic

[celest path]

What tike even is the dec

Time

[lilac bridge]

4CST

[restive pike]

5 PM EST

[celest path]

Oh

Epic

[restive pike]

i feel like my self worth depends on this decision

[lilac bridge]

it 100% does not

[restive pike]

rightt, a student from our school, equally good, applied without aid, whereas I did

plus intl

[lilac bridge]

also if it's any consolation chicago loses all its beauty when you spend 5 months straight freezing 💪

[gentle maple]

Y’all got this

Take them dubs

[restive pike]

but money is money!

[versed salmon]

[lilac bridge]

uiuc in state

[lilac bridge]

well

thank you fordham

now give me national merit money !!!!

[versed salmon]

fordham apparently has programs where u get all-in + max 20k a year for "academic enrichment experiences"

[lilac bridge]

like ... free 20k to do whatever?

[versed salmon]

i assume so

[lilac bridge]

wish fordie gave me a full ride 💀

[versed salmon]

bro don't tell me they took my gpa as a 3.0 or whatever

cause it is not

[versed salmon]

honestly such a vibe tho esp with the 4+1 programs

[lilac bridge]

i might do the 3/3 law program

[versed salmon]

mmm Fordham law iirc isn't too bad

[leaden bear]

how did u find this help

[lilac bridge]

yeah it's not bad

idk fs if i want to do law but if i go to fordham i'm gonna look into it bc 3/3 saves me money 💀

[limber gazelle]

Uchicago is gone from my slate lol

[lilac bridge]

they mustve been deferred from EA

it shows up at the top of the deferral letter

[versed salmon]

Lmaooo

[clear sluice]

yep

[lilac bridge]

hoping rd works out tho 🤞 im praying barnard lets me in that would be the DREAM

[vestal stratus]

GOOS LUCK EVEYROME

I have a really strong feeling I’m gonna be rejected but good luck eveyrome

[vestal stratus]

GOOD LUCK NATALIE

[versed salmon]

Amen

[cerulean geode]

what time do the decisions come out?

[gentle maple]

5pm EST

[cerulean geode]

okay ty!

[gentle maple]

You’ll get an email 15 min after the decision comes out saying that it’s out

But it’ll be available on portal at 5pm est

[scenic zodiac]

Good luck RD squad

[slate flume]

Usually slate doesn't send the email if you already check your decision

usually

[gentle maple]

Oh really?!

[trim karma]

yup

[gentle maple]

Wait no, everyone gets email

My friend who got rejected got an email still after he opened

[slate flume]

thats odd

I didn't get one

[gentle maple]

Oh I guess he opened after and maybe didn’t check email

[trim karma]

maybe

[slate flume]

A wild guess, but maybe say admissions are out.
5 minutes after the decision is out, it checks who opens or not and creates a list.
10 minutes after it, it sends the email

and maybe you open it in between 5-10 minutes

ofc this is not how it works

but thats my best guess

[mighty badge]

its 5 pm right

[gentle maple]

Yeah something like that happened probably

[mighty badge]

okay

[slate flume]

as to why some get it and some don't even after opening before the email

[mighty badge]

nvm

[gentle maple]

Yes 5pm

[mighty badge]

wait r u sure it isnt 5 cst bcuz chicago is cst

[gentle maple]

5PM EST

4pm cst

[mighty badge]

okay

[lilac bridge]

same

i opened my ed2 decision at 4:01pm CST and still got the email 15 min later

[slate flume]

probably a delay between listing who didn't open vs. sending the email

and you probs open it between then

or UChicago just didn't wana email me in particular

idek

[restive pike]

how does it even matter lol

the anxiety is killing me now

i wanna sleep yall, and the one day I am supposed to be sleepy, i am not

[limber gazelle]

To be realistic I don’t have hope for RD Uchicago

[calm stirrup]

real

[limber gazelle]

Would be very surprised if it’s not a rejection

Maybe waitlist? No need to speculate

I shotgunned a lot of schools lol

I still have it if it means anything

For me tho, I think waitlist is basically softrejedtion

[calm stirrup]

mine is gone

bro i have to wait till 3 am

wait is it 4pm CST or 5?

[past tree]

4

[calm stirrup]

yea

[limber gazelle]

Fate sealed 🗿

[calm stirrup]

[limber gazelle]

Gg

[calm stirrup]

[limber gazelle]

For me personally, 1 person got in Chicago ED (he was only one who Ed’ed Uchicago). 4 people applied Ed ii 3 rejections one waitlist, maybe 3-4 people applied rd

🗿🗿

[calm stirrup]

[calm stirrup]

[full pagoda]

[delicate bone]

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 14 times.

[calm stirrup]

bro T_T

[mighty hinge]

mb is this illegal

[calm stirrup]

i killed arms today at the gym and touched grass

[full pagoda]

the thread got locked once already for this 😭

[calm stirrup]

where decision

[past tree]

Y’all as you’re about to open your decisions just remember how absolutely brutal UChicago RD is to the point where it’s not even sensical

There’s many many many cases of people getting waitlisted/rejected UChicago RD and then getting into HYPSM+ just because of how little spots there are
