i think at least 2 admitted people here got in w/ out the video

#

but itll benefit your app to do it otherwise

versed geode
#

Yeah I have heard that it’ll help, but it’s not regarded super important

fading socket
versed geode
#

That is true

#

But it’s fine

fading socket
#

yeah true

versed geode
#

(I am too burnt out at this point lol)

fading socket
#

understandable

#

you feel like coasting through this last 6 months too?

versed geode
#

Wdym

fading socket
#

put in some effort into school but not like you used to

versed geode
#

Well, still got scholarships and financial aid lol

fading socket
#

but just enough to not get offers rescinded

fading socket
versed geode
fading socket
#

yeah im trying to do that

#

not too much effort but not too little

versed geode
#

I mean don’t they want mid year report?

fading socket
#

like mid semester 2?

#

fuckin hell

versed geode
#

I actually have no clue when that is lol

#

I think so

fading socket
#

i thought that was december/end of sem 1

versed geode
#

I searched it up it says like February

#

But I am not sure

fading socket
#

they want it by feb

#

but it seems to be from your first semester

#

so they dont seem to give a damn about the second as long as ur not stacking Cs and Ds and Fs

#

how true that is idk

versed geode
#

Wait maybe that’s true

#

And like the UCs does not give af what you get

#

As long as it’s C or above

#

And for UC Berkeley they don’t even care if it is below a C

fading socket
#

they only care about "course rigor"

#

for the entire 12th grade

#

dont even consider it or 9th grade

versed geode
#

Yeah the CSUs even worse lmao, only GPA is considered

fading socket
#

i think i got into some of my CSUs hopefully

#

prob got rejected from some Cal Poly or SDSU most likely

versed geode
#

Well if you have a high GPA then prob not lol

#

Also they recalculate it based on course rigor

fading socket
#

my CSU gpa was a 4.04 so i think id be fine rigor and GPA wise (lack of APs at my school)

versed geode
#

Yeah I know lmao

fading socket
versed geode
#

Now that SAT/ACT are off the list

#

no im doing it for the meme I'd take stanford anyday

rugged field
#

i love stanford but

#

id take harvard physics over it

gloomy ferry
#

maybe

#

but i don't like Harvard vibe + cali weather + stanford is so PRETTY + proximity to companies + splendid humanities depts + it's just better bro

rugged field
#

boston weather is better for ke

#

gloomy ferry
#

yeah i come from india lmfao i could never survive in cold weather

rugged field
#

i like palo alto more tho i agree

gloomy ferry
#

another reason my parents didn't want me to ed2

rugged field
#

lol

#

i mean i like stanny as a school more

#

but personally that doesnt compensate for harvard's math/phys

But I’ll survive the bitter cold for the delight and rigor of being a UChicago student

its what I initially wrote my uchicago essay about

the one about the cow

its a rather good proverb to use in life

man yk what

#

i gotta try injera one day

fading socket
#

its like sandwich bread

#

sure its ok by itself

lost swallow
#

you get it with a spread right

fading socket
#

you use the injera to "scoop" the food

lost swallow
#

like what

fading socket
#

and eat

lost swallow
fading socket
#

meat

#

it just depends

#

ethiopians have a LOT of vegan/vegetarian food because christian orthodox people (a lot of the country) have to fast for a majority of the year

#

no meat or dairy product besides fish

lean kestrel

fading socket
#

there are several reasons but i don't wish to force my religion on others here yk?

fading socket
#

you can scoop the food but the food is placed on top of the injera to begin with

lost swallow
lean kestrel
#

Ohhhh

lost swallow
#

in islam you’re technically supposed to fast multiple times during the week too

fading socket
#

and share with a group of people

#

eating from the same plate

lean kestrel
#

Icic

fading socket
#

feeding each other bitefuls is also something that occurs

lost swallow
#

do you do that?

fading socket
#

i mean my parents growing up ate with their siblings like that but we have our own plates when we eat together

#

whenever I go back to ethiopia and participate

#

yes i do do that

lost swallow
#

that’s nice

fading socket

but not with people i'm not close with

if I just submit the financial aid worksheet on the uchicago portal, is that basically all my financial aid information sent to the college and I don’t have to do any uploading of images or css?

final wave
#

thats what i did

#

theres also a couple documents in the financial aid worksheet

#

but i think thats all

versed geode
#

Wait I did CSS, FASFA, and IDOC instead is that fine?

gloomy ferry
#

the financial aid worksheet says "Financial Aid Worksheet (or Optional CSS Profile)"

versed geode
#

ohhh okay sounds good!

#

Thank you!!

gloomy ferry
#

just check though but afaik this is what it says

versed geode
#

I already did my CSS a while ago so I will just add them to that

versed geode
#

I called in last week and they told me to ignore it

#

rugged field

#

for the LOCI, it says you can also email it to a regional admission officer

#

but i cant seem to click on their name to find their email

#

im planning on submitting into the portal as well, but i was going to do both, anyone know how to get the email contact for regional aos?

crystal bobcat
#

that only gives me their name

#

i try to click on it but it doesnt work

#

ok i think ill just submit through portal

#

easier that way

#

thanks anyways

#

yo deferred people that are sending your LOCIs thru email. how are you gonna go about doing that? are you just gonna copy + paste it into an email or send it over as a pdf?

fierce stone
#

also accepted people, did you guys get your financial aid offer already? if so, how soon after admission did you get it?

versed geode
#

Actually just click on their name in the admission page it takes you straight to email

crystal bobcat
#

i tried but it didnt work, i just submitted through portal

versed geode
#

Yeah that's fine

crystal bobcat
#

thanks anyways

Lmao one of my sisters friends who went there for premed as class of 2022 hated it and advised me not to attend😭 I’d say she’s doing well now though, even though her gpa was like lower 3.0s she’s getting really nice med school interviews

Hey anybody know when ED II came out last year?

fading socket

“Thank you for the time and effort you put forth in your application to UChicago, especially in the midst of a very challenging year! You are among the most brilliant, ambitious, and academically qualified students in the world. It is a privilege to have shared in your ideas and accomplishments, and to have gotten to know you.

Admissions decisions for Early Decision II applicants will be available February 10, 2023, through the UChicago Account.”

This could mean a February 9th or 16th release this year, but I don’t work for UChicago so I wouldn’t know

most ea deferrals switch to ed2 or withdraw because they got into their eds
if uchi is your top choice there's no reason not to ed2 (except me bcuz my parents hate chicago lol)
