taking this class while running high school along with it might have been troll

well
more like taking this class while running INSANE COMPUTER ADDICTION along with it
might have been troll
🙂
i lose like 5-7 hours a day to my video game addiction gg.

maybe if i slept for those 5-7 hours i'd be better at math
i mean hey i can prove the 3 hard theorems

free A pls dr. torque man
free A or i spam phase shifts on ur heartrate chart in hospital
what the fuck did i just read
nope
nah
The voices are back.
or a good sleep schedule
i might be cooked
no
ok
X to dobut
ermmm i uhhh
i know how induction should work
i know how epsilon-delta proo-
oh fuck i forgot to learn uniform continuity
TEEHEE
u know how to epsilon delta poof
that's 4sure going to be on the exam
poof not proof
poof
ye i think so
grind
true
Is UChicago really expecting two pages on "Pick a question from a song title or lyric and give it your best answer."?
i thought it was like
500-1000 words
huge range
i did abt 800-900 for both my essays my year
My friend wrote a full on probability analysis for the song lyric "have you eaten a muffin today" from the muffin song for whether the reader had eaten a muffin
thx
hf

actually i'll figure out if i'm re-registering on monday when final results come out
or tuesday or w/e
if i have an A- or higher i'll sign up again
last year, uchicago posted the decision date on instagram one week beforehand
thus, the decision date is not the 15th
we have about 8-14 days left
i predict the 18
they will always be behind the ivies bc they have both ea/ed rounds
so they take a bit longer
dont they release ea after ed?
No
oh
is it released today?
you mean the person in #💪-chad-rejects?
they're probably from either a chicago public school or united world colleges (i think that's what it's called)
they have rolling admissions
ohh thats interesting
👍 everyone at my school got their decision today
i'm guessing (but not certain) a vast majority of CPS got it today
they didn't send an email tho
oh.
wait so ea and ed come out the same day?
@upper elm cps has rolling admissions
holy
yeah thats valid
speaking of spoiled rat bastards
why is like
no one here on aid
i only know 2 kids on aid and they're low income indonesians
i mean they prbly wouldn’t want to say it explicitly
sorta
yeah
but like the ppl i hang around with aint finaid kids at all
at least based on what they say their parents work as
and/or the highschool they went to
i know like 3 people who got it a long time ago
still late, but within like a month
its strange
how it wasnt actually 2 weeks
they must've applied way earlier for like 'rolling rolling'
i applied nov 1st and so did all my friends who got their decisions today
some people applied like
October
And still took so long to know
Some of the rolling release dates were really not intuitive
hey some of us are rich european bastards
oh mb boss
any of them get in?
Did anyone submit a portfolio apart from the video?
I've seen a lot of people talking about the video but not about the art materials
i hink portfolios are only for specific majors
alr guys date speculations cmon because i am going CRAZY
i submitted a video and like 3 art materials for the funzies
i sent some videos of me musicing
i sent my music portfolio but im not applying for music!
samesies
15th?
i hope its not any later
can't be 15th
uchicago announces a week before
it'll probably be somewhere around the 16th to the 22nd
one of my colleges is the 19th so i was hoping uchicago would be first :(
is it case?
im guessing somewhere around the 18th
my last final for the semester is on the 19th and i do NOT wanna be reading that letter right before
yea
rooting for you...
fdgkjl thanks
my guess is 18th
idk why it just feels right
a day after my finals get over 😁
if they come out on the day of the final I won't be emotionally stable to give the exam lol
if we applied through the commonapp, the only things we need to submit through the portal are our finaid docs, test scores (if applicable), and video profile right?
when tf does it come out
yupp
wiat my fault gang
i thought this was the ga tech chat
i think next week for ed non-chicago
you good bro 🙌
at any rate it'll be after the 15th for sure
uchicago announces one week before
we ain't like neu 💀
honestly isn't looking like 16th either
they did it just four days b4 two years ago
oh really? well my brain likes the idea of it being a week so i do not see it 😑
i would like to see it before my finals LMAO
oh i'm complete opposite, my finals are 18 and 19 and if i get decision before then i'll either be very excited and distracted or very distraught and distracted
oh wow ea/ed same day
yea
yeah i submitted like 4 art pieces too
i won't open it if it comes right before mine :')
you have a lot of control over yourself I'm impressed
I'd open it before giving myself a chance to think about it
I still haven’t decided whether I wanna ed2 here…
if i waited to open my decision i would honestly straight up forget about it
and whenever i remembered i'd either be unable to open it or too lazy to open it
and i've been waiting for this for so long
THAT IS FAIR
what day are decisions released?
we haven't received info yet :/
uchicago loml please let me in
Yeah but the year before it was 17
me noticing this is a palindrome is too uchicago core
HELP
123123
will they give on 31 😟
12/31/23
or
321123
no that doesn't make sense
i would legitimately piss myself in joy
i hope it’s thursday
cries in ea
same
SAME😭
this is also my prediction it's a nice number
19th
my guess is 19th*
THATS STILL SO FAR
ykw i dont even care if its far I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHEN
i’ve heard 18th, 21st, and 22nd
yes :((
I have a feeling they'll release the 18th or 20th
its so annoying bc I feel like this is the last school to release out of all the other eds
it's probably gonna be the 20th, they almost always or always release decisions on the third Wednesday, Monday, or Friday of December.

my favorite UC
TRUE
don't do this to me i thought they posted the date at that link
ur such a troll holy

have no motivation to do other apps until ik im not getting into uchi 😭
same
my heart DROPPED
does anybody know the percentage of students who get rejected ea/ed1?
nope because uchicago reports overall to keep it as low as possible wahooooo!!!
i will die if i get rejected from uchicago but i also know my ass ain't gonna be deferred
they either love me or hate me no in between
Real
why do they defer anyway, if you get rejected from early don't you have a lower chance in regular?
will you be my date 🥺
true 😔
real
lmao
Good morning
bruh
wait is urs uploaded
can everyone still see their change decision round option as well as the withdrawal option?
yes. can you?
yupp i can
bruh why does RD get a date but we dont 😭
Hahahah that's actually last year's
not by that time
wait
this isn't abt admissions
what
sry
oh
😭
jeez :(
TO4KAMAN THANKSSS
TWERKAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAN 😭 THANK YOU
TWERKAMAN
TORQUEAMAN
ye
she rlly be torqueing us
are you both first years?
LOL EZEZ
I remember that in 2022 nondford said that UChicago's EDI + EA acceptance rate overall was 10%
But they haven't given percentages by individual rounds
then their rd rate has to be at least 3%
i think the ea/ed would be like 10 then at min

overall last yr was 4.4% iirc
jesus
ok
when did rd get a date
there isn't one, aryan was trolling and posted last year's dates
ah
tryna keep those ea apps up
@alpine obsidian @upper elm late hw lmao
bruh
how the FUCK did u respond in a millisecojnd
i do not study
ik
my avg is an A tho im sure
i think so
cuz my final carried
Gg
CARRIED SO FUCKING HARD
i got over 100 🙏 thanks torque
WHAT BASTARD
PUT THE AVERAGE VALUE THE FUCK DOWN BRO
UR MAKING THE MEAN HIGHER THAN THE MEDIAN
oh

did torque man say anything
ok
i didnt talk to her
then how tf did she say ur the median
I’m confused what are you people talking about
our math class
couldnt even edge to this, i exploded IMMEDIATELY!!!! clean up on aisle MY PANTS!!!! 😂😂😂😂

EDGE TO THIS
O(NGNGONGONGONOGNOG
🙏
In the uchicago chat?
congrats tho
ye
yes
this is uchicago math 16100

gg
no u fragged out
huge actually
congratss (plural)
mfw 85 is an A
so the lowest score is like a B
uchicago grade inflating
what even is 16100
ohhhh
160 hardest btw
hows princeton going
I'm burning
nice
Juggling a stem course load with research is exhausting
more than i thought it would
yeah
real
thank you 😭 i actually need that lmao
do not question it
also i know u studied
u deserve that dub

torquewoman upvoted u fr

u got this
if i did it u can do it
monsieur le gorekeg knows my ass is a fraud with studying LOL
so if i can do it u can do it
🫡
esp bc u seem to be That Guy
I hope 💀 i just want to be done with this semester atp and go onto the next because let's just say, I caught a bad case of pneumonia during midterms and it kinda fucked me over (teachers don't push things back lol)
yeah definitely, it was back in october-november but my grades haven't fully recovered since lmao
🙏
at least i can just write that down incase someone wonders why my first semester was like that 💀
ye
💀
Ok but how much is ea alone 
under those numbers it would probably be 4
which i think is unreasonably low
yeah no shot im getting in
but i dont think that 7% would be the ea/ed rate
that would mean the rd rate has to be higher
than 2
idt anyone from my school has ever gotten into uchicago EA 💀
They did a poll in e/applyingtocollege and apparently the acceptance rate for early action if 15% and 45% for EDI
This is only for the subreddit ofc so it's probably half of this for the actual percentage
Might as well lose hope lol
Ik, most likely you'll get deferred and they'll push you to move to EDII
I think they defer like 70% of the applicants
yeah
I can't afford to move to ed2 ugh
Also @solid flame i applied uchi case and neu ea as well lol
awesome LOL
i added in neu so i could say that I EA'd 3 schools
ok thats not close to the exact reason why
but it made me feel more productive 😎
hey the no supplements WAS appealing
whats their ed rate?
Hi guys new to this server & scared
were all scared
Yea but my gpa an ECs are barely competitive the only thing going for me are the essays 😭
I’m just hoping my video profile makes up for my app lol
what major are u applying as?
pure math
doubt .
added two to my senior cry counter today lets go
😔
🥺

im scared
HELLO
yeah same
is there anyone for whom its not missing?
nope mines gone
gone for me too
The end is near

Early Action: 323 total
Accepted: 15.17% (49)
Deferred: 75.23% (243)
Rejected: 9.6% (31)
Early Decision: 181 total
Accepted: 41.43% (75)
Deferred: 13.26% (24)
Rejected: 45.31% (82)
r/applyingtocollege poll
ik, crazy
it's r/applyingtocollege so it's probably a bit lower in reality + this was a few years back
I would say around 25-30%
back then?
yeah ED acceptanfe rate bavk then is probs 30
hmmm
idt 30
maybe like low-mid 20s
its not as ED/ED2 concentrated as i thought it wouldve been
Chicago has less applicants than other T20s + it has EA, so many choose to apply through that option.
80% of the school was admitted through the ED rounds
EDI+EDII
yeah 70
i think their yield rate is gamed through the waitlist
ED1+ED2 have 100% yield rate
and the people that get in RD are probably gonna be accepted at other school that they prefer over chicago, so the yield rate for RD is probably even lower than at a school like Dartmouth or UPenn
so maybe 30% yield
I hope they announce when the decisions will be released today. Maybe the option to change the decision round disappearing is a good sign?
It said it will release the date first then sending email 2 u on that day
Probably not today
probably gon be next wednesday 😔
what makes u say wed instead of monday? just curious
just cuz last year they announced week early
and since today they didnt..
but who knows
They always release it on a monday, wednesday or friday is what I heard
like idk how to feel abt that claim cus thats literally 3 out of the fives days they can release it on
assuming sat is unlikely
like i dont know if you can call it a pattern
well, it's not gonna be monday, so it's probably gonna be wednesday so that they can release decisions on the 20th.
So probably this Friday or next Monday? Since 15th is this Saturday
It's the only school to not have given a date
lol true
I think they'll give an announcement on wednesday saying that they're releasing decisions on the 20th.
last year they gave decisions on the 21st so it makes sense
There was one year where they announced it on the Tuesday and it came out on a Monday
2020
man i was hoping last year was an exception
they should just announce rn
fax
If they're giving decisions on the 20th it probably means this cycle was competitive
MAN i wish i knew if i can bomb my finals or not
130 were already accepted through questbridge + account for CPS and UWC applicants
damn
There's Questbridge, CPS, UWC, Recruited Athletes with likely letters, and there's also a small Z-List.
recruited athlete at my school 😔
our school has a tendency of not applying and not getting accepted by uchi
samesame
do yall use maialearning
nah is that college app thing
no its like what the school counselors use to keep track of what college ur applying to
o yeah we use naviance its similar
does it like have a graph of all the prev applicants' scores and status
yeahyeah idk how accurate it is tho
that graph thing has a chokehold on me bruh
same..
if you dont mind me asking, what major are you hoping to pursue
ill msg u
shore
same, only one student has been accepted from my school in like a decade or so
Apparently UChicago released decisions on the 21st because an AO had died
saw this on the a2c thread, so idk if its fake
im literally checking that thread every hour
im literally a uwc applicant and our ao visited our school but she never said anything about rolling admissions 😭
applying ea, anyone knows when it comes out 😬

Not confirmed my prediction is the 18th
applied EA, didnt submit video portfolio
damn

prolly better than me, my video portfolio was deranged 
same
date 😍
@tacit scarab
nahhhhh 😭
i'm gonna be so distracted for finals
OMGGGGGG IT'S HERE
nope
RAHHHHHHH IM SO EXCITED OKZKAKZLLSLSOSOSPW
WE FINALLY GOT IT GUYS
I've been running a countdown in #1135694160234557565 since a month back so if i get into gtown I'll start a countdown here too because it means it worked lmao
omg finally
it's not even on the portal 💀
now i have to stress for the next week 😭
good to see uchicago has their priorities straight by posting on insta first
just like me fr
or maybe twitter was first
Exactly
they know people check that more than emails
Although in the recent days I've been obsessively checking emails so there's no telling lol
insta was first i think

y'all let's light candles in here everyday
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️uchicago let me in🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️i love you🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️you love me🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
ok that was rectangular when i typed it out pfft
🕯️🕯️🕯️
It's out, the end is near
🕯️🕯️🕯️
they're gonna release on the worst possible day for me
maybe my luck will even out by getting in
where fun goes to die 😍
we're all getting in fs
about to read my application again and cringe
if uchicago is where fun goes to die i will gladly kill fun with my bare hands
is it really that important to the profile 😭
i rlly dont think so
found some ea admits on a2c who didn;t do the vid
if they view it as a demonstrated interest thing
that is irrelevant for ED1 as everyone is committed
and they only take cracked ppl thru ea
Included that in my video lol
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
home stressed
i have an exam on the 19th 🤩 im not opening that shit until after
praying for my self control so that i'm not brokenhearted right be4 my last important final 🕯️🕯️ not that any of us are getting rejected but 🕯️🕯️🕯️
OH?? insanely unfair
somehow it feels worse knowing when it's gonna be!!!!!
i thought i'd be reassured!!!!
LMAO I HAVE PHYSICS TOO
except im in ist so I'll get decisions like late night on 18th so it's after my exam 
shit became real way too quick lol
guys omg

this emoji reminds me of my uchicago video profile!!!
HAHAHAHAHA LOVE THAT
IM SCREAMING WHAT IS THIS
🤭🤭🤭
SAME HAHAHAHA I'm from gurgaon
i think i might faint before i can get my decision
Bruh theyre gonna release decisions during my 11 hr flight to the motherland
ea :(
WE'LL SEE LOL
im not even a superstitious person and i started searching up shit like fortune on the 18th by zodiac
Drop stuff here!!
Are yall all 06
Yupp
wait most ppl who are applying are 06 LMAOOO
credibility 
sry to clarify i meant the cred of the fortune cus i meant chinese zodiac
do transfers need 2 letters of rec?
wait where did u see this?
I'm tryna look up some of my expected decision dates
🕯️🕯️🕯️
yeah what did everyone say their major interests were
The uchicago decision date or the zodiac fortune💀
Cus the decision date is on their blog
the zodiac fortune
Oh on a korean website
Korean buzzfeed type
💀
Umm i can link it in a bit hold on
Modmail next time please!
chem
wait u mean major right
@everyone ED I/EA decisions Monday 12/18 late afternoon https://www.instagram.com/p/C0wetHDM1gh/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
ED/EA decisions will be released on Monday, December 18th in the late afternoon!
1235

Turn that frown upside down!
it's over.
it’s joever
i won’t be able to get into the best uc
this is so sad
wrong freshman type
linguistics + anthropology

wrong genus mb
ok that's good i was terrified
i’ve seen this combo b4
you should be
because it's an epic combo
in my next life
i will join a2c as a junior high schooler
i promise you guys this
diabolical...
we don't get one 😔 we have been denied what is rightfully ours
frankly i advocate for a riot
University of Virginia ED decisions come out <t:1702677600:F> in your local time
3 days, 3 hours and 27 minutes until the decision date
They gave me time
ok now that's
that makes me sad
it's ok i'll go to admissions office and ask nicely
I’m sure you’ll be the first and only person to do that so they’ll oblige
i'm just so special
last year was 4 cst looks like
i'll check if that's consistent
my bad 😭
Ling is so cool
I'm 07
I [17] am an atheist. Is it too late to choose a god and start praying?

does anyone know if having a recruited athlete at your school affects your chances
ED/EA decisions will be released on Monday, December 18th in the late afternoon!
1405
i cannot focus on anything else now
i know ill just stare into blank space till 18th
WHY ARE FINALS GOING ON
i don't think it should, they evaluate you in context of other students at your school but they'd probably know the situation of the other student being recruited so it shouldn't affect you too much
finally
wow they're nice
we got our stuff like december 22nd last year 💀
gave me coal for christmas atp
bruh why does it have to be on a monday
i got to go to school and then be sas the rest of the week
i think, if you're EA expect a deferral
me fr
oh yo hey linguistics here too
don’t remember my second choice 💀
bro i’m beginning to lose it
I’m having chatgpt create hypothetical student profiles of people who’d get in
ooh major w
steven levitt brainrot is real
pin of shame for you
deserved
pls do some fun winter activities instead of losing ur sanity
drop em here
went to look at my uchicago portal but then i realized i clicked on the rejection simulator tab i already had open lmao
Let’s see them
I tried it
When I asked for a profile at first it was like “Emily worked for her school magazine and did poetry”
And then I was like “now wb an r/a2cer”
And it’s like
STEMSTEMSTEMSTEM
bro
come ratner fr
the boys™️ and i swim from 4 to 6 at ratner everyday for the next 2.5 weeks
and every monday and wednesday afterward until like feb 14 iirc
the boys™️
the boys™️
Suburban california is correct
Hey guys so i dont have any clubs that I founded (that lasted) at least) is that like a huge problem
Im probably being paranoid
THIS IS GONNA BE MY FIRST COLLEGE DECISION THIS IS SO SCARY 😭
AND ITS LIKE ALMOST MY DREAM SCHOOL
I rly hope I get in bcs my rec writer hates UC schools and I can make a UC hicago joke if i get in
My motivation to study 📉📉📉📉
same ive been procrastinating for like 3 hours 😭
lmfao who sent this in

uchicago
me
Literally the most cliche one ever lol
Guys if i don't get in to uchicago i will cry
yeah i won't cry but like ill lose self confidence lol
but also my app was heavily tailored towards the school
so if i don't get in it's a sign that i wouldn't have fit there anyway
@rugged field you go to uchicago right? did you get any merit scholarships?
at some point it’s just luck
and doesn’t say anything about actual achievement
really? 😭
do you go to uchicago?
ye
did you get merit scholarships?
- cases if you’re a (pro?) golfer, child of active firefighter/military or something along those lines
85k-90kish for the full yr
really? damn
Are you low income or
Oh alright
What major?
But if u wish to study a lot (rly a lot) do u need to pay more tuition or not?
like wdym
for education in general you can get good education from almost anywhere but uchicago of course has its specifics that make the experience a lot nicer
maybe like paying for more years and semesters if you want to take more classes and not graduate but
quality of education is absolutely not tied to tuition
otherwise full rides to MIT would be meaningless
yep I mean if u wish to study like extra credits outside ur major
Do u have to pay more 4 that
idk if im late or not but 18TH OMFG IM EXCITED AND PETRIFIED AT THE SAME TIME
yeah im late nvm
😂
I literally live 5 minutes away from uchicago
if I don’t get in my only hope is northwestern
and that’s not a lot of hope 
me fr
we’ll get in bois
im shit scared
real
i wonder how many people have applied ed/ea
i did ea
gl!
if you dont get in you know what to do
iykyk
same
💀
nope
lmao
I see at least a few people per week complaining that they only got into UCLA or northwestern instead of an ivy
the audacity
no like how tf are you gonna say if i tried harder id get into a better school 💀
rude tbh
uchicago if you have a secret discord account that is in this sub you know what to do
valid
id do the same at some point
those complaints where they say that they deserve better is usually annoyinf
but not being proud of northwestern/ucla is valid
some people can never be proud anyways
bro
i would kill to match w uchicago
and then this bitch gpt's his essays
and complains 😭
also doesn't uchicago value essays the most how did they let someone in with gpt-ed essays😭
im so lost
tbh sometimes it makes me disappointed when ppl with shit essays got in
nah not sometimes
p often
exactly
shit essays is also fine gpt essays is smth else altogether
on that note can i read your essay lol
i mean if u have like solid ECs/awards then sure congrats ur a big W to a school
but otherwise..m
mine?
yeah
nah sry i dont share it
fair enough
this pisses me off so much
first you gpt your essays and then complain about how you didnt get into a "good" school
its high time people start realising ivies arent the only good schools lol
UChicago is better than some ivies i would argue 💀
I would kill to get accepted ugh-
bros hubris will be his downfall 🙏
It’s deleted lmao
it’s not valid
people put so much emphasis on the specific school when in reality all T20s are going to give you pretty much the same thing as far as career outcome
not being proud of northwestern when it’s literally ranked #10 is crazy and i feel bad for people who can’t be proud of that
usually that’s family pressure tho
now wanting to attend a specific school for culture or fit is valid for sure
Uchicago is better than all of them except maybe brown or Columbia idk
shamed them into deleting it 😭
nah if someone said that to me i would lose it
exactly
Don't kilometre per second.
bro is complaining about them not being poor like an ivg isnt better
Nah its super annoying but at the same time i get where its coming from cus my mom was like “if your math grades were better I wouldn’t have let you apply to uchi” and that crushed me
She wont let me feel actually proud of anything I do that she doesnt personally see value in
Gpting the essay tho is …. Wtf
“Sincere”
gpts essays
That sucks so bad wtf i put so many hours into my essays
EXACTLY
biology!
@thorn cloudyo how many northwestern supps did u do
I didn’t apply yet, will do RD but I plan to do all of them
alright thanks. do you think if i do 1 instead of 2 it would hurt my changes or u dont know
nah it wouldn’t hurt your chances
The only one I wouldn’t do is the ‘why us’ questions like number 3 and 5 unless you’ve visited the campus or know a lot about it
ok bet thx so much
I’m doing number 2 on interdisciplinary culture
ok cool. i already wrote number 4
thxx you too
this is hilarious bro
some people would never be happy
and the fact that they openly admitted to using chat gpt is funny
no literally and uchicago is known for how heavily they emphasize the essay so idek how this happened
