thank you dean nondorf 🙏

Thanks! Any insight on the ea and ed1 rate themselves?

I imagine ea could be like 1% and ed1 around 15%

#

how many spots tho

bronze flame
#

Around 1800/55k or 3% overall acceptance

#

Am curious how many actually do ed1 (maybe 5-6k) and ed2 (another 6-7k), rest EA/RD

shit sounds rough

#

on one hand i wish I ED1'd but the other hand says that during the EA/ED1 cycle i had no idea how to write a decent enough essay

#

Saw on Reddit chat some users confirmed 20k applications for this 2028 cycle (ea/ed1)…

fading socket
#

I’m finished

bronze flame
#

Its kinda shitty 20k (ea/ed1) + 50k (ed2/rd) 1800/70k is 2.5% overall acceptance rate for 2024 if true

Yeah we're NOT getting in 🙂

Just came out from the admitted students reception in LA. Nondorf said that 6% of EDI + EA applicants were accepted and that for overall it was 4%. He also said that there were more than 42k applications (last year it was 37k)

fading socket
#

holy fuck

#

so then for ED2 how screwed are we?

little schooner
#

He also said to us that as long as there aren't some "Ds" we're good

would you recommend going to the admitted reception

fading socket

I also met the admission officer that read my application so that was cool

id go if they held another one in LA and i got in

keen yew

im trying to decide if i should go

cause I would have to miss my hockey game

I would say 60% were Asian, 20% white, 10% black and 10% Hispanic

There were a couple of important people there

hmmmm

#

just curious, how likely is it for someone to be accepted in rd after deferred from ed1

little schooner
#

The parents of some of the kids are crazy, one gave advice to the president of Mexico

In the econ department

#

Especially if you chose to EDII

frosty acorn

pulsar skiff
#

they don't have one for this year tho 😭

bronze flame
# little schooner Oh yeah you're right mb, 42K total

The 42k was total looks reasonable compared to previous year at 38k. So to sum it up from various sources: 20k ea/ed1 with 4% acceptance rate giving 800 kids for ea/ed1
Another 22k applying ed2/rd, am guessing they will take around 1000 kids giving same number of acceptance as last year at 1800.

#

That’s 4.5% 1k/22k for ed2/rd. But you know it will be HEAVY skewed on the ed2 … would even say 800 kids ed2 vs 200 kids rd

#

How many applied as rd2? Maybe 8k at most? Using similar numbers in other REA and ED schools … so 10% chance for rd2 in the ballpark

#

This implies 200/14k for rd, giving us a cool 1.4% chance for rd kids … boooo

I think this gives a general idea, but obviously some faculties have more capacity than others and also some students may choose to diverge or completely change their major.

glass bear
#

Chicago doesn’t admit by major because you don’t declare until junior year

#

and because people change super often

jaunty girder
little schooner
#

So for this year the overall acceptance rate when rounded is 4%

little schooner
#

At the reception I went to I only met 2 people who got in EA out of maybe 40 or 50.

i wanted to do poli sci or flight school but then i slowly transitioned towards pre med

#

and stuck w/ it ever since as what i prepared for

tropic yarrow

fading socket
# tropic yarrow each really interesting yet diverging fields lol

i mean the reasoning is simple once i explain:

flight school cause i travelled a lot growing up and my dad worked at an airport (ended up writing my PS about it)
political science because i just liked politics and political history growing up
and pre med because my mom is a nurse and most of my aunts and uncles are in the field of medicine as well

#

basically whatever i did was probably going to be one of those 3

tropic yarrow
#

sounds awesome

#

feel like i had 3 interests myself in high school

#

was planning on doing law/pre-law for a while

#

then i got really interested in linguistics of all things because i really like how language is used in society and the historical origins of them

#

finally ended up with political science because it sort of combines my love of history and argumentative reasoning in a more substantive way, given our world is run by governments of all kinds

fading socket
#

That’s pretty darn well thought out

fierce stone
# tropic yarrow then i got really interested in linguistics of all things because i really like ...

low key i might've gone into linguistics too, but the career prospects don't look too reliable. i speak english, a little hindi, and have been learning spanish for 5 years in school. its really cool to see how the languages relate to each other (ex. hindi and spanish conjugate their verbs, english doesnt, etc.), as well as seeing which words across languages share similar roots. i decided to go with my interest in math for my prospective major tho.

also, how'd you end up learning hindi? are you indian by any chance?

I just won a civic service award

#

Can I tell Chicago I won? I wasn’t deferred so I don’t need to write an LOCI

#

But outside of that is there any way I can communicate I won it, because a good chunk of my app’s writing is centered on civic/public service

Do I write a little PDF about how I won the award and what that means for what I’d do there?

upper elm

the question supposes uchicago full ride vs harvard 0 aid

#

that's the only reason it's being asked 💀

#

and i'd probably take uchicago full ride

#

because money is pretty goated

#

and realistically a degree from uchicago will never get shit on it's not like i'm losing out on billiob dollars of job opportunities

the real bag was the aid we received along the way

guys i messed up

#

i was at a 99 in ap stats but i like completely procrastinated for this one test i didnt prepare for at all (i did other stuff in class that was kind of important) and woke up on the morning of that test just realizing I had a test. I got the worst grade I’ve gotten on a test and it dropped my final grade to 91 ☠️

#

ok so basically the worst part is

#

it wouldve been okay because we have a drop test

#

but

#

apparently

#

ap stats is a year long course (even tho technically its a semester long course) because he makes us do the last test in like march. so he won’t apply the drop test till then.

#

what do i do

#

do i drop the course

#

actually no but like

#

do i ask him to apply the drop test for this report card

#

midyear grades matter for uchicago ed2 right?

my report gets sent like next week

#

ik this was rly dumb especially considering it was an easy ass unit

#

and mostly just knowledge based and everyone aced it

#

sorry for the long message

don't worry about it

#

how bad is a B?

#

for a mid year report

#

in one of my classes

untold hill
#

not gonna kill you

#

colleges care- but they don't re-evaluate a person after seeing they got a B. most of the decisions have been made/are in the process of making them, and most colleges review holistically

#

a C is where it gets tricky, but a B or an A- isn't going to matter to them in the long run, they get it, seniors are tired.

#

also depends on rigor of class- if it's calc bc then a B definitely wont kill you. now if it's like a regular level class it might cause a bit of concern but not enough to change an offer

It’s a stressful time rn

0 support?

keen yew
#

but my aid + merit = ~147K

#

rugged field
#

hmmm

fading socket
#

Like cause of low income or just like other reasons

#

Cause I understand if it’s like they don’t got the money to help you out

humble echo

they have their own loans

rugged field
#

but yeah imo it depends on ur career options

fading socket
keen yew
rugged field
#

like if ur a finance bro ur CHILLING

humble echo
#

fading socket
#

If the career is lucrative then you could see about it

rugged field
#

150k does not matter (finance)

#

yeah

fading socket
rugged field
#

lmao idk

keen yew
#

To be honest I’m kinda banking on the under 60k = full ride thing

Supplemental material deadline is in the past, i think

crimson oasis
#

Oh

#

I can still do a LOCI tho right

foggy nest
#

I mean yeah write it

#

although you'd have to call the admissions office to know if they'll read it

crimson oasis
#

I assume that’s something we just email not submit as a supplemental material

#

Ah

foggy nest
#

the portal submission thing has a category for it

crimson oasis
#

Specifically for a loci or for supplemental materials generally

foggy nest
#

loci specifically, there's a dropdown

crimson oasis
#

Gotcha, thanks

how do I report midterms

so theyre not need blind?

hearty belfry
# final wave

price fixing means they agreed with other colleges to limit finaid so that students overall have to pay more for collrge

#

and the colleges make more profit

#

cause if uchicago for example offered good aid and yale offered bad aid then people would go to uchicago so yale is incentivized to improve their aid program

#

but if they both offer shitty aid (price fixing)

#

then students have to choose a school

#

and then more profits

#

in conclusion, nothing to see here!

rugged field
#

ye

#

every like t20 private r for-profit schools for sure

# final wave guys its over. idk why i even care anymore

Honestly my policy for top schools is
“Expect the worst. Hope for the best.”
So yeah it is over in a way, it’s been over since the beginning with such slim acceptance chances. But you care because there’s a chance— just don’t expect anything.

#

On the bright side, remember that where you go to college doesn’t define your self worth

pale kayak
#

does any of yall have an idea on when ed2 is coming out?

fading socket
#

One week from now seemingly

#

Next Friday

spiral estuary
final wave
#

just guessing

#

since usually 2nd fri of feb

fading socket
#

Last year they did Feb 10th as well

#

So it seems like Feb 9th is it

If they postpone it to Feb 16th I’m gonna be moderately annoyed

# native nova was their a fin aid app for uchi

uh it's not a separate portal but on the main portal itself they asked me to submit some documents (i didn't get an email about this, i just logged into the portal one day and saw that it was missing so keep checking your portal)

native nova
#

So for me I submitted all of my docs in November right

#

Then they still want my parent w2, other docs and fafsa

#

Do you think they didn’t receive it?

gloomy ferry
#

i dont think uchicgago uses idoc

native nova
gloomy ferry
#

they need you to upload directly on portal

native nova
#

Omg 😳

#

Thank you for telling me this!!! Didn’t know

gloomy ferry
#

yeahhh i almost thought i missed it

#

because the first time i logged into the portal i just saw the css profile

#

and i submitted that

#

but then a couple of weeks later i saw the fin aid forms

native nova
#

And @gloomy ferry what did your usc package look like?

gloomy ferry
#

got no email or anything

native nova
#

Ohhh ok ty

gloomy ferry
#
