uchicago 'promise'

the promise in question:

[tribal timber]

they played bass boosted king von during gym class today

during pickleball

[solid flame]

through rolling decision for chicago students they promised you'd know within two weeks, no deferral possible

[wooden mason]

real

[solid flame]

news flash: nobody knew less than a month, most people got rejected today and some people got deferred

[whole igloo]

😂 i knew they would take waaaay longer

[solid flame]

so they submitted their apps early af for no reason

[whole igloo]

yuuuuup

[proper fulcrum]

[solid flame]

me tooo like i was considering rolling ed but i had a bad feeling about it

[whole igloo]

[upper elm]

trollass institution

[whole igloo]

only one person got in at my school

[upper elm]

gg

[solid flame]

they submitted in october and they got rejected

[whole igloo]

usualy we send like 4+

some other school sent like masses

[solid flame]

3 people got rolling ED at my school but ngl like 20 tried easy

[whole igloo]

💀

[solid flame]

so far it seems like no one else has gotten in like EA/ED

3 might be it lol

[whole igloo]

the uchicago promise:

[solid flame]

ngl

[solid flame]

[upper elm]

DEFERRALKING

[whole igloo]

u got this 🙏

[upper elm]

soon im going to have like

20 waitlists

💪

[quiet kettle]

i have rejection penn m&t, autodeferral from wharton, deferral MIT, and now deferral UChicago

im at the end of my line atp

[whole igloo]

😭

[upper elm]

what's autodeferral

[quiet kettle]

i told penn not to consider my m&t second choice app for ED since i dont want to be bound into wharton

so they just defer it

[upper elm]

i see

[whole igloo]

😭

[lost swallow]

inshallah i get in ed2 man

[whole igloo]

doesn't every1 get deferred from mit

[lost swallow]

i might’ve funbled not doing uchi early

[whole igloo]

or like

"everyone"

[upper elm]

6X%

[whole igloo]

😳

[quiet kettle]

well

my friend who was pretty qualified imo got rejected

but im annoyed that the deferral rate is so high bc idek if im like competitive

[whole igloo]

it's js a numbers game atp

colleges r getting ridiculous

[quiet kettle]

i like listed my EC's wrong

[upper elm]

they've been ridiculous for years

[quiet kettle]

i didnt put any of my like personality EC's just my stem heavy ec's

[upper elm]

it's just that it's ridiculous as fuck^9 now

instead of just ridiculous as fuck^1

[whole igloo]

what is a personality EC 😭

[torn path]

how much do you think is the acceptance rate for this year's ed?

[whole igloo]

0.1%

[random lintel]

yeah exactly like i wanna know my chances for rd

[upper elm]

how would we answer that question

we have like 30 application sample size in this server

and it's mixed ED and EA

[quiet kettle]

i have like some super high level STEM ec's but like for fun i did stuff like sailing and video game development

and scuba diving

[whole igloo]

and this server is this server 💀 assume a very biased sample

[whole igloo]

i c

thats cool

[quiet kettle]

i shoudlve done a mix like the 80% of the point of doing the personality ec's was to break the stereotype of asian kid cracked in STEM

but in the end thats what i wrote myself as

[worthy oracle]

hey guys how long were yalls choice essay cuz mine is 985 words right now 🥺

[quiet kettle]

isnt it max 650

[whole igloo]

what is the choice essay

[upper elm]

[frigid flare]

[whole igloo]

[random lintel]

[hearty belfry]

💀

[frigid flare]

i might be able to apply domestic to west romania university

[random lintel]

i wanted to apply so bad to uk but i didnt take any aps junior year

[whole igloo]

dw yall there are many reasons to hate uchicago too

[frigid flare]

[quiet kettle]

the only thing i didnt like about uchicago was the lack of engineering

[random lintel]

lmao thats so random

[frigid flare]

i'm thinking of university of bucharest

[random lintel]

probably a future t20!

[whole igloo]

dont they have like

molecular or wtv

(i know nothing about engineering)

[quiet kettle]

i do aerospace engineering

[hearty belfry]

they r very good for molecular but

[frigid flare]

i got romanian citizenship and it's like the only romanian university with linguistics

[hearty belfry]

nothing else lol

[whole igloo]

💀

[random lintel]

yeah i hear the guys there are ugly thats my cope rn

[quiet kettle]

my plan was go physics like aerodynamics then just go econ and sell myself to blackstone or goldman

[whole igloo]

well if you're thinking of going into the humanities @ uchi just know the university has one of the worst track records in the surrounding communities

[thorn cloud]

I got into uic and deferred from uchicago and now my parents are making me go to uic

[whole igloo]

as in... had a barbed wire fence on 60th st to prevent folks in woodlawn from getting on campus

[thorn cloud]

it’s tough out here

[glass bear]

bro beefing with uchicago

[whole igloo]

😂 they're working on it tho

[random lintel]

they beefed with us first

[thorn cloud]

can confirm

[quiet kettle]

i liked the uchicago campus

[wooden mason]

i tjoml every school has skeletons like that

[quiet kettle]

when i saw the squash court i was like ooh i should go here

[hearty belfry]

as someone who has a friend that got in

thatll change this yr!!

😍

[wooden mason]

for example ucla displaced so many homeless and vets

[quiet kettle]

i needed a win

[wooden mason]

💀

[whole igloo]

[wooden mason]

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-3022747568394546158

[whole igloo]

probably like every urban setting college stuff but yall know the deal

[quiet kettle]

i thought uchicago felt safe and we drove to uchicag from the city and it felt safe

also i couldve slid for von 👷‍♂️

[wooden mason]

hyde park is ok

but 5 mins out it gets a bit sketchier

[whole igloo]

privte cops patrolling outside the juri, the "gotham city/o block" discourse, etc etc

[wooden mason]

generally to the south and west of hyde park it gets a little jank

[whole igloo]

😭 o block tourists

[wooden mason]

but this is from my travel experience i do not live in chicago so take anythin i say with a grain of salt

[whole igloo]

this is real btw

o block is like a tourist attraction now

[quiet kettle]

well its less dangerous now right

[whole igloo]

yes

[wooden mason]

yeah i know someone who went to oblock when they visitited

[whole igloo]

hyde park is an extreme enclave

[random lintel]

o block sold out 😔

[whole igloo]

woodlawn to the south (gentrifying as a result of UC) and wash park to the west

both are relatively calm

[wooden mason]

what happened to oblock

[quiet kettle]

they got too popular

[whole igloo]

it became a tourist attraction so now they have security to keep ppl out

[wooden mason]

😭

[whole igloo]

i wish i was kidding 💀

[quiet kettle]

i feel like all the rap songs aobut it being a hotspot for crime wouldve made it a PR target for the police departments and thus lower the crime rate there

[random lintel]

gotta go to englewood now

[whole igloo]

😂 CPD patrols the walgreens on cottage

not anything relating to crime

[quiet kettle]

tsinghua university or UF 🚣‍♂️

[whole igloo]

any time you hear a siren you can assume it's a sale at dunkin

[glass bear]

the uchi hate is outrageous

[whole igloo]

Are you?

[crimson oasis]

well yea that's why I asked lol

cause like uchicago is good for that but there's better out there so I'm probably not gonna ed II

[mild charm]

Fair lmao

[worthy oracle]

uchicago is rly good in finance and business even undergrad

their econ major is insane

with data science

basically any job at any firm

[crimson oasis]

oh well lmao

[worthy oracle]

are u applying to wharton

[crimson oasis]

yeah

[worthy oracle]

nice

no point doing ed ii to chicago then

[crimson oasis]

that's the main reason I'm not doing ED II for uchicago

exactly

[worthy oracle]

i got rejected already so im going for ed ii now

[crimson oasis]

that's fair

[worthy oracle]

we're in opposite positions 💀

[crimson oasis]

I'm sure I'm not getting in but like

I'm also going ross and stern

[worthy oracle]

u should look into cornell and columbia too

same im applying to those as well

[crimson oasis]

I'm doing the columbia app rn actually

[worthy oracle]

I'm on m 4th of 5

[crimson oasis]

[crimson oasis]

[quiet kettle]

legacy to IU Kelley

[crimson oasis]

I don't really have anything to submit

[worthy oracle]

they dont take legacy for kelley im pretty sure

cuz u have to get in iu first then they see if ur a direct admit or not

[quiet kettle]

i didnt apply lol but its the only school i could actually have legacy to

[worthy oracle]

i got legacy to schools with like 95% acceptance rates 😞

[wooden mason]

legacy to usc

coulda had double legacy but my dad chose to go to ucla

what a lame-o

hea coulda gone to stanford or harvard too but no part-time mba programs there

[worthy oracle]

@rugged field

[little schooner]

Theres typically one or two Acceptances from Indonesia for UChicago per round (round 1 is EA, EDI, round 2 is RD, EDII)

[rich sapphire]

[gentle zodiac]

[gentle zodiac]

i think i may ask some specific questions tentang kultur nya sih

[little schooner]

In a pool of 3k ED applicants there might be around 10 or 15 from Indonesia. It's definitely one of the best Asian countries to be from.

[rugged field]

probs more

actually no ur rfight

like 20 max

[gentle zodiac]

is there anything u find very different from typical indonesian universities? (like ui for example)

and is the weather really that harsh?

compared to tropical cities like jakarta for example

[rugged field]

ppl here r more ambitious

[gentle zodiac]

ive never been to the usa soalnya

[rugged field]

for the average indonesian it's rlly bad

but i love the cold

[gentle zodiac]

WKWKWKW

[rugged field]

[gentle zodiac]

do they curve the grades?

gue dari sekolah negeri soalnya

takut beda budaya aja sih

[rugged field]

hmmm

tergantung kelas

tapi ya emang susah sih

[rough sail]

in the lyric essay prompt for uchicago do i mention uchicago at all or do i just answer it as it without the mentioning of uchicago?

like i connected the lyric to uchicago and mentioned what they had in relation to the lyric

or is that not what i am supposed to do

[rugged field]

hmmm

idt indonesians get in EA/RD

everyone here is ED/EDII

[hearty belfry]

[hearty belfry]
