OPEN UP ECKHART

it’s a little funny, i was looking into astro clubs and all
almost wrote about a club that has been inactive for like… at least 8 years 😭
we should revive it :3
have you ever looked through their telescope?
i remember seeing the room astro club used to be at, its old as hell 😭
nop, i can’t really travel anywhere
woahhh that’s crazy
NY in case that’s allowed to be shared 😅
omg 34850948609468 people live in NY so ur good HAHA
then what made u choose uchicago omg
why not like the millions of schools in new york
I was looking for schools with a decent astro program and the schools i’ve looked into a little more locally just, either don’t have the major or the funding
like hamilton is awesome but their astro dept is very tiny
i ranked columbia for qb but… 😅
7th LMFAOO
💀
GIRLLLLL
NUMERO 7
It’s okay because i liked all of my schools
u must be next level quirky
caltech MIT columbia princeton stanford yale 🥲
waugh
bro i cant even apply to caltech
i can't answer one of their essays

it's so over
i think i had a major flaw in each of my essays so like…. it’s fine i guess
lowkey my answer wasn’t even something i did, it was something i was currently doing LMAO
for innovator
it’s okay because honestly being an “innovator” takes some real special circumstances
ie a community willing to listen
that doesn't exist
uchicago is still an awesome school ;) and i prefer it over most of that list JKGDJGKL
if i did qb id probably put princeton then yale then uchicago
WHO TOLD THEM???
My top schools that i knew in my heart i would have loved were caltech uchi hopkins and hamilton. the rest were sorta there
Man I hope I join you on campus
oh yea
I need to get a W this admissions cycle fr
UCHIGANG
u could only rank out of the college partners right?
was there a limit to how many u could rank?
Yup, so no harvard or cornell
15!
ok lemme look on the webstie to see what i'd rank
im kind of batshit so i'd probably do 15 for funzies
I ranked 9 because no way in hell could i do 15 schools worth of essays in two weeks 😵
i struggled with 8*
@lean kestrel how cracked were you?
well for starters i went TO
LMAO
YOOO SAME
99.38 UW average though
what's TO
test optional
i lowkey just didn’t wanna study for the SAT
tbh i go to a very small rural school
LMAOO
They're trying really hard to bring in more rural applicants right?
i think my list would prolly have been: princeton, yale, uchicago, columbia, jhu, rice, brown, northwestern, washu, upenn, dartmouth, duke
or something like that ^^ just looked at the list,
but i had a lot of leadership positions too (varsity tennis captain, nhs sec, stuco pres, sci pres, class office sec)
am i fucked for living in chicago
I think my reigonal AO said that to me when I met him
i tried getting involved where i could
but i couldnt do qb so i rd'd all these schools <3

Oh yup
even their linkedin had a post about rural kids
yea we kinda are
iirc northwestern prefers chicago residents and uchicago dislikes them
Oooo
Oh yeah, uchi is 80% out of state right?
20% in state and like 50% of my school is applying





Woah
I think it's more
Dayum
oh like 50% is ea'ing/ed'ing at least
💀
didnt we talk about this
yeah
RACISM.
private schools are ok
no it's uh
i don't envy lab/magnet/private higschools
Woah
are they extra hard on u
oh i see
the results are much better than they should be
because lab was designed for uchicago faculty's children
so naturally they get eloboosted 4free if they ED/ED2
L M A O
However.
I am not a faculty member's child.
so i have to 1v1 a professor's kid for the spot more or less
My backup plan was to apply to embry riddle bc i heard they fed into nasa but after seeing that tiktok about the fire sprinklers flooding the hallway… i was good
which is not about to happen
faculty member's child is CRAZY.
it's like
im double legacy but there are so many professors' kids in my grade that it's still hella coinflip to ed/ed2
that’s crazy omg 😭

guys i’m more nervous than i expected
so i'm just balling my way down the danger-laced no-ed2 road
if it goes wrong idfc
tried my best
whatever the outcome it like
will be fine
shot all the arrows i had
it will not (for me)
LMFAOO
my brother went to uchicago a dozen years ago but ik that doesnt count
do you have shitty parents or is this a self-thing
lowkey scheming to get my sibling to apply to uchicago now (i have no idea how legacy works)
Sibling legacy does not in fact work
both of my siblings went to ivies 💀
I got nothing
I would know
i am the first sibling to attend college 🥲
but on the dropdown menu they said "how many degrees have they received"
and the lowest option was 1.
bastards.
he's there.
rn.
he has 0 degrees.
from stanford university.
LMAO
let me the fuck in.
That's incredibly impressive. I wish you luck!
does legacy count only if ur parents went
yall
and ye ur the goat
trailblazer
🫡
they removed the withdrawl button
pullout game is over
you guys are very sweet
accept your fate
omg
holy fuck
this is it
im going to go out on a limb and assume each school has diff policies
Shit got real
Find a good support system, rural hs often doesn't prepare you for this terrible education system we call the United States ❤️
but you got that grind in you I can see it, you'll be just fine
oop
LMFAO they did
welp
Idk what i was expecting but you guys are wayyy nicer than I was expecting
💀
tomorrow bois
Reddit fucking sucks
fair lol
Best of luck to all of you
i’ve watched “what i like about uchi” videos and from what i’ve heard, there’s solidarity
I expect everyone to get in
i EA'd so
Aight come on now
I EA’d also
WE'RE BONED
Same
non-committed gang
Coward

Reuniting on campus
was there a kid named safwan in your class
yooooo
perhaps dming would be more effective
:skull;
it's a first name
idk i get uncomfy
a lot of ppl are named safwan
I was in econ
but yeah he was there
yeah lol
ewll
who did i know
hold on lemme dmyou
alr
Don’t you go to like the top feeder to uchi in the country dawg

alsoi'dgetmyassbeatenbymyclassmatesanywaybecusethey'rebetter
🤠
lol
harper is nice
idk why everyone likes reg
bro the bubble tea vending machine
i drink the milk tea
enjoy it
and then use the restroom for the next 6 hours
🗣️🔥💯📢
bubble tea in america is garbage
your loss mf
i tried this “bubble tea” in the walmart international foods section
it tasted like straight up poison

so i’d like to one day taste real bubble tea
walmart
sounds C U R S E D
wait is there any good boba near uchicago
one popped up on my insta a few days agoo
EVANSTON HAS FIRE BOBA
sweet
chinatown
dababy
my match scholarship includes free transportation so i hope i’ll get to ride trains and explore the city. find restaurants i like
LET'S GO
yesss
lol
and so is the registrar at my high school
considering she hasn't fucking signed me up for 16200???
rejection in itself is rude
and now we're on winter break??????????
no torkaman
no torque no life
she did the same bullshit last time where i had no fucking clue what was going on

mfw
button said get started, i saw get decision
GOOD LUCKKKK
self thing
ur chillinggggggggggg
going to a top college doesn't mean very much to be quite honest
it's just nice
hmmm
yk what lowkey ur not wrong
it matters more for low income students but even then
it is j nice 😌
it's very marginal
yeah I need this or im gonna end up in some debt with my state school
i mean tbf which one r we comparing the top college to
theyd probably cover a whole lot
like legit every state school you could get into with competitive stats for UChicago
💀
like if its uchicago vs umich then ofc it wont make that much of a difference
umich is my fucking goat
hmmm
i just think i’d be happier there ngl
i put a lot of effort into my uchi app so i hope i get something out of it
The data shows that long term it doesn't make a difference economically
a deferral would be nice
that's just what I'm basing my assertions off of
uchicago vs uc riverside will most definitely affect
i remember being in sixth grade like “I need to go to harvard 🤬🤬” and then i never even got to apply
It actually won't
if someone who could've gone to uchicago just got unlucky and went to riverside
yeah as a californian its either the UCs or uchicago
statistics show that long term they will make the same amount of money
lmao is that even possible
same but i feel like this is my parents fault cuz why was i thinking about college in elementary school
Ohhh
oh yeah in that scenario then makes sense but thats impossible
It was a WIDE study conducted by princeton (twice)
uhhh did u send the form to uhhh grbavac
wdym that's impossible
plenty of qualified applicants get rejected every year
yes
🙂
i gave her the form in-person
someone who wouldve gotten in uchicago ending up at uc river side
forwarded explicit permission from THE BOLLER™️
It happens more often than you think it does
💀
that’s just focusing on specifics
but the overall moral makes sense
you can still be successful and not go to a top 20
i think its less often than ppl make it out to be
One of my friends got waitlisted at 10 schools
they went to their state school
bro got scammed
oof
didn't decide to transfer
based
150k a year out of college
not a fucking coward
CS major
🗣️🔥💯📢
they're a senior now
lol
LOL
rescinding my support for ur friend 👍
I mean that's probably why they got waitlisted at ten schools 💀
might depend on major honestly
Holistic data shows that if you performed well enough in highschool to go to ivies/T20s you will do equally as well as people who get into those schools
that or ur me
will probably lose to crippling video game addiction as soon as i leave the house
death at 24

life's probs harder for them
i mean if we say long term then yeah nothings gonna affect
bro qualitative assumptions do not make a difference
my sibling went to princeton
she was DEEPLY depressed
cool
I fully believe if she went to the school she actually wanted to go to she would've done just as well
im having some writers block rn and its killing me
i have to show how a topic affected me and makes me unique but people say that the set up is either bad or great
like qualitative things work both ways but quantitively it does not matter
this is uchi? or another college?
common app personal statement
Ohhh
its burning a hole in my head
@fading socket you still trying to rewrite it?
I know that I personally had something really unique, so I ended up focusing on that no matter what, and then kind of brainstorming to see how those experiences branched out and affected my goals/work ethic
yeah
its very difficult
holy freaking crap i know him
So imo, best advice, pick something very special to you and go from there
safwan name drop is craaazyy
uchi thread making it out of discord
mashallah
Yeah i approached my supplements the same way
i mean i did so that's a start ig?
Good idea --> Fit the prompt to my topic
would you be open to reading it?
Oh totally
@solid flame what are the odds
If you’re comfortable 👍
know him from where lol
LMFAOOO HOW
not again bruh 😭
this is like 10 inches away from self doxx but he's a good friend of mine one of my classmates
i literally just wait until the depression comes the fuck back
and then pump out like 6 essays
no bullshit
lol
well damn that's wild
THATS CRAZY
chicago kids
bruh how does ur depression make you better at essays
when im sad i just cry and roll around on my bed
I think it gives you more ideas
idk i just write that shit like a journal
i just let all of my anger and sadness out
💀
bro is gonna get into uchicago and stay in the south side
Oh lol that's like another type
damn thats smart
out of all the essays you've written
Wait, this is true.
what was your favorite topic writing about

i was reading about the summer sessions like "hey safwan went there" and then i was like ok what the hell
lmao
I just get really emo and think about the world like I have good ideas 💀
that one time i committed numerous felonies and escaped with 7000000 usd
i mean what
i don't even write anything impressive
or about anything impressive
ok
kk
idr what i've written about
k
k
things just come out of the keyboard and i pray to make it out the hood
had the worst time of my life writing dartmouth supplementals just now because i didn't feel like literal dogshit about myself while doing it








damn
it's like the strategy IS to genuinely believe you deserve nothing do you know what i mean
hmmm
out the hood and into the hood

nahh
idk im just applying to schools ngl
uchicago is not my numero uno
uchicago is my numero dos o tres depends on the day
no
im ngl it's lower i just don't want to stick around in chicago
that's the only reason
💀
if uchicago were 500 miles southwest i'd be happy
LMFAO
lol
yes.
/j
"grrr u cant just shitpost ur college apps"

i shoulda went TO
but i decided to go TO with a 1550
bruh
yrah
1550 is basically like
i trolled.
bro threw
but the gains are minimal past 1550
i did throw
i submitted a 1510
i submitted the lord's prayer in an attempt to appeal to their good christian values to let me in
should have done that to notre dame
LOL
Is a 1500 good enough bc i sure hope it is atp
our father who art in uchicago hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come in eckhart hall as it is in the joseph a regenstein library
i think 1500+ is a definite sub for any school
uchicago was the only uni i went TO to
yeah probably but im not applying
ya
it's the one u ended up at
COINCIDENCE?
LOL
i submitted a 1510 to everywhere except carnegie mellon cuz they make you submit every sitting and theyll see 3 1470's in a row

Stonks
HELLO
excited to see all y'all at uc hicago next year 🫶
ayo
ayo.........................
EAgang im afraid.........................................
bro me too
that 1190 3.28 acceptance tho
fire nepotism
because their parents aint got that university connection
that guy
stop you’re making me tweak
please
i’m so nervous now
that's about to be me with ED!
💀
mane

thisi s not the clown corner
the weakest applicant of those is 3.92 1590







and early decision
no ec gang?
probably test optional but still w the gpa is insane
this is more like me 💀
it was lost since the beginning
idt it means anything tho
epic i'm so good at reading graphs
Athlete/kid of professor
is there a video for application this year or nah

The new era

yeap optional
im doing ed2 is the video just for ed1 cuz i dont see it on commonapp
Guys stop stressing out, you're stressing me out too 😭
oh so its after submission
well no
yeah but im p sure you can make one before and it links the account and common app automatically
you can make uch account at any time
yo what is this
naviance execution list
nope can’t use it
my school didn’t use naviance 💔
but is the deadline after the deadline for the supplementals on common app
if im applying ed2 thru common app will they email me after submitting commonapp to make an account
it says its due on jan 8 for RD and EDII (the video)
bet ty
is applying to economics for uchicago automatically applying to the kenneth school of econ
so what would i apply for in 2nd year
every school besides the college is graduate
oh i thought kenneth was undergrad
oh mb
so u just apply to uchicago in general and just choose ur major in econ in sophomore year
yes
ty
i just submitted it in my portal
don’t sellout to econ smh..
wdym
@rich sapphire you know any LLS majors?
i do not know any confirmed ones
i have a friend still deciding between that and just poli sci
probably 5
i applied for that on common app, but i know you need to be chosen for it after being admitted. let’s say i get admitted but am not chosen for that major, would i just have to choose a new one? @rich sapphire
recruited?
if you’re recruited isn’t that guaranteed admission
you wouldn’t apply until 2nd yr, so you’d already have most of the Core done & humanities related prereqs completed
ok ty for explaining
appreciate it
you can start taking classes for your major freshman year right
ya
yes
priority is given to people who applied for that major if im not mistaken
and if i want to double major but i couldn't indicate that on my application i can just talk to a counselor and work on that right
ye for sure! i know several ppl who have 0 idea of what they even plan to major in & several ppl who already mapped out their entire double major plan lol
Hi Drayke
Hi swagfloss
we on that theoretical physics beat
type shiiii
engineering cringe
favorite quora post
lmaoooooooo
average UChicago W
which admissions officer did bro pay off
my typa school
but me and @rough sail want to be CEOs and entrepreneurs
do i not say i wanna change the world thru business in the supps??
Obama went there and he a prez
bernie too
LOL i would take that screenshot with a grain of salt
oh 💀

we're locked in
uh oh
my entire personal essay is on entrepreneurship 
i’m not getting in
i’m probably not a good fit for uchicago then
Are you sure
naur, i forgot what quora post that was from and it’s probably years old
dw i just thought the stanford diss was funny
Shit got real
i see mine too, didn't do ED tho
idk if that would make a difference
EA isn’t binding so it makes sense we’d still have ours
whether accepted, deferred or waitlisted
You're ED right?
yup
hopefully that means you all got in
Aight nothing out of place then
are you ed?
yeah
If you're EA you still have it, if you're ED you don't. Basically
i’ve lost my shit
i found my shit and then dropped it under my bed
my shit's been gone for years
i submitted my shit as my portfolio
you'll get in
same
maybe i should’ve wrote abt shit
uchicago is the type of school to accept a quirky essay like that
you will all be accepted to uchicago
i hope so mr princeton
me neither
Behave or else you don’t get UChicago a2c icon and banner
Is that a threat
did u ed?
No
indeed
am i rejected
Guys let's chill
gl everyjuan
Good luck!!
