i mean its difficult but surely youd have an easier chance getting in ED2 vs RD

#

just make it clear on fin aid grounds the contract is leavable

gloomy ferry
#

He doesnt like uchicago

#

Or Chicago

#

Or East coast

#

Or contracts

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

Or schools that don't give scholarships

fading socket
#

then where does he expect you to go

#

stanford?

gloomy ferry
fading socket
#

a UC?

gloomy ferry
#

ideally

#

But he'd spend $80k for USC cuz it's in cali🤡

fading socket
#

cause oos

gloomy ferry
#

no

#

dad lives there and pays taxes

#

So in state from second year

fading socket
#

ah ok

gloomy ferry
#

roughly same price as uchi tho

fading socket
#

i wonder what uchis fin aid for intls is

gloomy ferry
#

im not intl

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

i love flexing my situationship on my friends

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

i mean citizenship

fading socket
#

need blind brrrrr

#

im doing ed2 cause my family makes under 60k a year

gloomy ferry
#

exactly

fading socket
#

so full ride at uchi

gloomy ferry
#

ah yeah thats fair enough

#

my family's like

#

slightly above good financial aid but not enough that we can afford full pay

fading socket
#

so in the middle ground

gloomy ferry
#

yep

#

so my parents want me to go somewhere that gives merit scholarships

#

they're ok with uchi if i get a good aid package but they dont wanna be bound

#

bcuz what if i get a better package or better scholarship somewhere else yk

fading socket
#

keep in mind i dont work for uchi

#

so i wouldnt know

#

but thats what id assume would happen

gloomy ferry
#

like if i need $40k/y aid for it to not be a burden but the college gives $30k/y i can still technically pay it so i cant break the contract but also its not my best option

#

i personally want the best financially viable option

#

but im said that that prevents me from ed2

#

bcuz uchi <3 </3

fading socket
#

damn

#

guess its just a fuck it we ball uchi rd then

gloomy ferry
#

yup

tawny monolith
#

#

got the uchicago portal

#

okay wait

#

does uchicago not have a checklist?

#

I cant see any

solid flame
#

they dont

#

what they want is just kinda split up

hollow quest
#

no i mean like the applicant portal checklist

solid flame
#

yea theres not rly one

#

the stuff is just split apart so its not an actual checklist

#

theres only a checklist for like a few specific forms

#

most being optional

hollow quest
#

i see

#

so will they email if anythings missing

solid flame
#

definitely

glass bear
#

once they finish processing everything

#

I need some help, how do I submit two ACT scores for a superscore on the UChicago Portal? I submitted the first, and then there's a "Submit New" option but I'm not sure if that overrides the previous one?

solid flame
#

most schools superscore for you

#

uchicago should

blazing hill
#

They can't superscore if they don't have my other score though

#

That's what I'm asking

solid flame
#

so submit it jfdlkgj

#

yes

#

it wont override

#

itll add on

blazing hill
#

Ah okay, thanks

toxic saddle
#

Is there any reason to fill out the self reported score form on the portal if we already did on common app?

blazing hill
#

I did so on CommonApp as well, plus you have to re-do the ED agreement on the portal

toxic saddle
#

also, it says that I completed the ED2 form within the portal, but I dont remember doing so (only on common app) - was that manual entry by an officer or something?

#

NOTE: Only documents that you have submitted through your UChicago Account will appear below.
We have received the following documents from you:

hollow quest
toxic saddle
#

I have no recollection of submitting my agreement lol

hollow quest
#

why

blazing hill
solid flame
#

its not super tedious anyway

hollow quest
#

but the ed agreement is

blazing hill
#

Had to sign again, add my counselor's info + parent info

hollow quest
#

ill have to tell my counselor to fill it

toxic saddle
#

eeeeh

#

I remember starting it, but dont recall ever submitting

#

I might email my AO

blazing hill
toxic saddle
#

but then I'll look like a fool

hollow quest
#

can someone confirm if we have to fill the ed agreement again

toxic saddle
#

I think someone in the admissions office must have just transferred it from common app

toxic saddle
hollow quest
#

yeah thats what im wondering

blazing hill
toxic saddle
#

I would do it, but the form isnt showing up for me anymore

blazing hill
#

Ahh, okay

hollow quest
toxic saddle
#

No memory of submitting this

#

so confused

hollow quest
#

wheres this

#

on the portal?

toxic saddle
#

yep

#

under upload materials

hollow quest
#

i cant see it

#

can you zoom it out

toxic saddle
#

did you counselor sign the common app one?

hollow quest
#

yes

toxic saddle
#

under this

hollow quest
#

oh I didnt submit it through uchicago

#

through common app

toxic saddle
#

Same

#

which is why im confused

#

💀

blazing hill
#

I submitted through CommonApp and my second agreement was under "Forms"

hollow quest
#

ohh

blazing hill
#

It's a bit redundant but sure

hollow quest
#

fuck this shit

#

why cant they just have a simple checklist

toxic saddle
hollow quest
#

is it rly this hard

toxic saddle
#

and now my uploads are confusing me

#

definitely something strange

hollow quest
#

my common app shows that the ed agreement has been downloaded

native nova
#

wow ur so quirky for that

#

i bet theyll like that

#

me personally i dont have enough brain cells to do that

#

Is it normal for no material checklist to appear in the portal? I was able to get into it today, but there seems to be no checklist displaying if recommendations, transcripts, etc. have been received. Is this typical portal behavior?

fading socket
#

but do not fret

fierce stone
#

i was gonna just upload my letter of continued interest to the uchicago portal, but now im considering emailing my regional admissions person

fading socket
#

i wish there was a way for me to show my AO how badly i want uchicago

fierce stone
#

technically the why uchicago essay is supposed to do that but its hard to convey how much we want it in <600 words

#

i suppose it doesnt really matter too much tho, all they care about is fit and yield

# hollow quest what did yall write about in your essay

Uncommon Essay -> Sicilian Sailors sent to find a holy island in the North Atlantic, fall into the hollow Earth and get stuck there (Lord of the flies/Poseidon adventure vibe), structured as a series of log entries
Why UChicago -> Studying abroad at Yonsei University in SK and relating it to why I want to be a doctor, CIH Fellows in Community Medicine investigative research program to discuss the social context of healthcare within Chicago's South Side
PS -> Why I enjoy travelling and how it allows me to see the quirks in people

I structured my essay as a dialogue

my ps was all over the place

I divided my essay into three parts, first was a dialogue and the other two were monologues

gloomy ferry
hollow quest
#

ouch

fading socket

~790

gloomy ferry
#

the strength of my uncommon lies in its appearance

#

the actual content is meh

#

but i made it a scarlet letter

#

literally

fading socket
#

mine is an exercise in creative writing and ideas if anything

#

theres an underlying message but i couldnt really do it as an allegory because for all the good the log journal format brought

#

its hard to write it as an entertaining allegory

my why uchicago essay was ~650 I think

mental bolt
#

are u guys writing a letter of continued interest for ppl who got deferred? cause i dont see anywhere where they explciitly say, just somewhere if u have additional material to submit or whatever. also i dont have any updates to my application so is it appropriate to write one for uchicago?

if you made uchicago its own country

it would have the 2nd most nobel prizes of all of the countries

only behind the united states

...did you get accepted to mit?

fading socket

fierce stone
fading socket
#

@cursive spindle did you tell them the nobel prize fact

#

or show them the acceptance rate

#

what????

fierce stone
#

dawg 💀

fading socket
#

did you at least show them that its better than like ucla and berkeley?

#

in the us news rankings

fierce stone
#

but mit!!

#

have you pulled the "i've done more research than you on this" card

fading socket
#

no the fuck it isnt

gloomy ferry
#

that's literally my parents lol

#

i gave up on my ed2 dreams atp

fierce stone
#

so true... why are you so lazy man???

gloomy ferry
#

uchi better than at least half the ivies

fading socket
#

bruh tell them UChicago is clear of SKY by MANY MANY MILES

fierce stone
#

maybe if you werent such a SLACKER you would get into an ivy

fading socket
#

like going to SKY got NOTHING on UChi

gloomy ferry
#

My mom only was impressed that i got deferred ea uchicago bcuz her friend's daughter who got into upenn and mit got rejected ed uchi

fading socket
#

where is the logic someone show me please

fierce stone
#

does she know the acceptance rates 💀

fading socket
#

albeit i understand because i had to explain to my own parents that uchi is more renowned and prestigious than UCLA or Berkeley

#

but they understood and did their research and agreed

#

not argued

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

bro.

fading socket
#

are you fucking KIDDING me?

fierce stone
#

dawg

gloomy ferry
#

Btw

fading socket
fierce stone
#

what a prestige chaser

gloomy ferry
#

Not to be that person but you should've had this discussion before applying

#

Bcuz switching from binding to non binding clear sign of disinterest

fierce stone
#

man, that sucks man

fading socket
#

@cursive spindle did you alr switch

#

or you havent yet

#

then explain what smrithi just said

#

you wont have a chance at RD to begin with, especially if you switch

gloomy ferry
#

wait what😭

fading socket
fierce stone
gloomy ferry
#

And im like

#

Uchicago is better🤡

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

and she's like ok but for cali people cali unis are better

fierce stone
#

your guys' parents need to get their priorities straight

fading socket
#

fr bruh

gloomy ferry
fading socket
#

needa lock in and do whats right for you

gloomy ferry
#

but if it's free then what is their issue @cursive spindle

#

they think uchi isn't prestigious enough?

fierce stone
gloomy ferry
#

do you think your profile is good for nit

#

like would you get in realistically

fading socket
#

are you anywhere near competitive enough for an ivy?

#

^

#

like do you got a shot

gloomy ferry
#

bcuz for uchi there's a lot of emphasis on the essay so you can get in with low stats esp ed2

fading socket
#

i did this shit BECAUSE it could save me

gloomy ferry
#

lol yeah

fading socket
#

ive been grinding their essays for weeks

gloomy ferry
#

mit doesn't value essays as much as uchi

fading socket
#

and im editing the vid in davinci resolve

#

im going all out for uchi

gloomy ferry
#

also which uni do you like better?

gloomy ferry
fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

actually I didn't go all out lol i did everything but sign up for a binding agreement

fierce stone
gloomy ferry
#

so you're good there

#

I'd tell your parents that

#

like

#

"if you don't let me ed2 i won't get in to uchicago and i won't get in to mit and I'll end up going to ball state"

#

(no hate to ball state my dad went there lmao)

#

say that "no im doing whatever i can you ensure a t10 uni

fierce stone
#

yes! you are giving up and its a smart choice because you wont (based on what you're saying) get in!

#

i cant 💀

gloomy ferry
#

@cursive spindle Do you have safeties targets that you already got into that you'd be happy to attend

#

bcuz if you pull out of ed you can kiss uchicago goodbye

#

and mit was way too unlikely in the first place

#

you might get into a non hypsm ivy yeah but it's still <10% acceptance rate

#

what targets did you apply

fierce stone
#

everything for me felt like a safety or a reach

#

no targets

gloomy ferry
#

LMAO SAME MY PARENTS WANT ME TO GO TO UCI

fading socket
#

question

#

did your parents alr sign the ed2

#

you could just

#

not unsign it

#

its very ethically not cool

#

but if its signed

#

then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

my parents main concerns for ed2 are financial stuff but i have a feeling they're only using that as an excuse bcuz they dont like chicago lmao

fading socket

if its higher then uh

final wave
#

also how competitive is ed2 for canadians does anyone know

#

ik someone got in 2 years ago from my school who wasnt cracked

allowing for non cracked individuals who can do good essays, LoRs, and a video to have a decent shot

because they care about fit

ah

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

if it was less i would ed2 lol

if i was even <125k i would ed2

but im not

fading socket
#

damn bruh yo parents got motion

#

fr

gloomy ferry
#

we were actually less a couple of years ago

#

cuz indian salaries low

#

but then my dad moved to cali

#

and he works in IT

#

so like

#

rip fin aid ig

fading socket
#

yeah thats tough fr

#

in that case a UC would prob be cheaper

gloomy ferry
#

tbh it comes around to a similar cost

#

but my parents dont wanna be bound

#

bcuz like they say meet 100% of demonstrated need

#

but to them my demonstrated need could be a lot lower

#

and if they dont give me a decent enough aid package but dont let me back out

#

ill be stuck, regretting i could've gone somewhere similar or even better for much cheaper

fading socket
#

for me and others we below the margin so we got it easier so i feel for you

gloomy ferry
#

but like

#

im sad

#

because uchi </3

fading socket
#

hope you get in RD tho

gloomy ferry
fading socket

#

anyways i had a weird ass nightmare i got into uchi but i got a single in i-house

i dont want a single

#

hopefully you convince them to let you keep it

bellingham maybe you should get off this discord and o work on your video

fading socket
#

best i can do is add video and find a soundtrack

#

need decent background music

#

i think ive gone full nocturnal these past couple days

gloomy ferry
#

damn

fading socket
# gloomy ferry damn

its either that or work on my NYU application (theyre not gonna give me money if i get in)

gloomy ferry
#

<100k free

fading socket
#

uchicago does that for under 125k

#

its the campus housing and just general cost of living thatll kill me

#

thats why uchicago ed2 is superior

#

do uchi ed2, i can get everything free

#

housing, food, tuition

#

do NYU ed2
its a bigger school, in a more expensive place, that gives me only 100% tuition covered

#

(i dont like big school)

gloomy ferry
#

ohhhh

fading socket
#

so basically my options are simple

#

pray uchicago lets me in and my dreams come true

#

or the unlikely chance JHU or Northwestern take me

#

if that doesn't happen, then a UC or if NYU takes me

#

and if that doesn't happen, a Cal Poly
and if THAT doesn't happen, all hope is lost

gloomy ferry
gloomy ferry
#

no safeties or stuff

fading socket
#

Will probably add the University of San Francisco on RD

#

as an added safety

gloomy ferry
#

usf big W

#

my first acceptance and first acceptance package

fading socket
#

its pretty cool

gloomy ferry
#

oh really

fading socket
#

yea interesting place for sure

gloomy ferry
fading socket
#

might add one HBCU but ive visited them

#

gloomy ferry
#

ahhhhhh

#

why not apply case

#

or emory

#

or washu

#

or other pre med schools

fading socket
#

takes me a long time to write essays

#

cant just do it quickly and be done if i want to do well

#

it took me straight weeks to do uchicago

#

because i tried my absolute hardest

fading socket
gloomy ferry
#

ahhhh yeah thats fair

#

yeah without csu's and uc's its a very questionable list but you got those so you're chill

#

manifesting ed2 for you tho but itll prolly be a pain to withdraw all the other apps

fading socket
#

thank you for manifesting for me

#

and sure itll be a pain to withdraw but the happiness of getting in ed2 would easily cover it

gloomy ferry
#

lolllll fair

#

whats your fav UC

#

besides chicago of course

fading socket
#

i thought out of the ones i visited

#

UCSC had the coolest campus

gloomy ferry
#

damn

fading socket
#

cause like ur in the forest but ALSO on the beach

#

very cool

#

but academically im impartial to UCLA

#

very close w/ a bio prof there who wrote a common app LoR for me

gloomy ferry
#

oooh thats nice

fading socket
#

so ofc i gotta rep UCLA, especially bein from LA

fading socket
#

prob why im confident in the LoRs

#

my app is a weird story everywhere else tho lmao

#

what about you, what's your favorite

gloomy ferry
#

but i absolutely fell in love

#

only thing is they dont have my major

#

so major wise UCI is my favorite

fading socket
#

i lived there for 5 days it was awesome

#

lost swallow

he thinks george best and maradona are goats

fading socket
#

hes in the top 10 convo

lost swallow
#

he’s an old head

fading socket
#

realistically the top 6 would be:

  1. Messi
  2. Ronaldo
  3. Pele
  4. Maradona
  5. Neuer
  6. Maldini
#

5 and 6 can be swapped tho

lost swallow
#

unless that’s who you got #2

fading socket
#

hes a #7 shout

#

because maldini and neuer are arguably the best defender and gk of all time

lost swallow
#

nahhh

#

maldini in the top is wild

fading socket

how could you not?

#

Maldini is the best defender of all time

lost swallow
#

ramos?

lost swallow
#

ramos best cb ever

fading socket
#

dont say that

#

that aint true

#

maldini and nesta were insane

but maldini and baresi...prob best club cb pairing of all time

#

if i dare say it

lost swallow
#

neuer in the top 5 too

#

wowza

fading socket
#

only yashin and buffon come close

lost swallow
#

yeah but

#

that doesn’t put you in t5

#

you’re going about it by position

fading socket
#

if revolutionizing the game through your position doesnt put you top 5

lost swallow
#

i would put R9 and Zidane in top 10

fading socket
#

what does?

lost swallow
#

being good

#

ain’t nobody saying wilt is top 5

fading socket
#

yeah but neuer not only revolutionized he is the goat of all gks

#

nobody can deny that

lost swallow
#

yeah but he’s not t5 bro

#

over r9?

#

ok i gotta sleep

fading socket
# lost swallow over r9?

Let's set the best team to ever be fielded based on positions:

ST - R9
LW - CR7
RW - Messi
CM - Xavi
CM - Iniesta OR Zidane
CDM - Busquets, Makelele OR Keane
RB - Dani Alves
RCB - Maldini
LCB - Baresi
LB - Roberto Carlos
GK - Neuer

#

gn but my list is accurate

ok but they havent met me

The video is recommended to be submitted by Jan 8 but it's not a strict deadline, but because y'all are RD/EDII you should probably submit it ASAP

#

they're pretty flexible, I sent my video 2 weeks after the recommended date and they still took it, I know a guy that sent it a month later and they still reviewed it, but I do know they're more strict with RD/EDII

#

Just send it when you have it, doesn't hurt if you submit it a day or two after Jan 8
