what major are you btw?

rugged field
thin sluice
rugged field
#

yeye

thin sluice
#

thats soo coool i wanna do both math and stats + something along with it

rugged field
#

workload is like a double major tho

thin sluice
#

how come

rugged field
#

a relatively hard double major

thin sluice
#

thats soo cool stop

rugged field
#

ok basically

#

math + econ is like 1 big major

#

stats a bit different

#

but u get to overlap CS credits from stats to econ

thin sluice
#

aaah

#

also isnt Econ real hard at UChicago

rugged field
#

f no

#

actually

#

hmmm

#

i lied

thin sluice
#

💀

rugged field
#

yeah its hard

#

but some other majors r harder

thin sluice
#

aah

rugged field
#

like econ isnt the epitome of difficulty

thin sluice
#

i might consider the same combination ngl

#

or CS instead of econ

rugged field
#

id say its the honors sequences in math/physics etc

rugged field
#

possible

#

dont do cs-only at uchicago tho

#

we ass at cs

thin sluice
#

ooo

#

damn

rugged field
#

unless u wanna do cs research

thin sluice
#

thats crazy

thin sluice
rugged field
#

which like 99% of cs kids dont wanna be

#

yeye

#

ppl do cs for swe undeniably

thin sluice
#

thats interesting

#

i might do research, but it will prob be for sum like HCI or Computation Social Science

#

prob not theoretical CS

#

i wanna try out Econ, but i have 0 idea what it is

#

i have tried so hard to understand

#

but i just cant 💀

#

DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE

#

FEBRUARY 9TH IS THE TRUTH

tropic yarrow
#

😂

thin sluice
#

AMEN 🙏🏻

tropic yarrow
#

unless they deviate from what they've been doing until now, which is 2nd friday of feb, it SHOULD be Feb 9th

#

let's hope they keep up their word

gloomy ferry
#

lol im glad i didnt ed2 (itll be worse for us during rd cursedmoon )

#

what day was ed1/ea last year? that'll give you an idea of whether they're sticking to that

fading socket
#

So theoretically they could just kill us by doing Feb 19th on a Monday

#

A whole 11 days away

#

If they do that I will send 17 rotten hot dogs to Chicago

gloomy ferry
#

when was it last year?

#

also 18th?

tropic yarrow
tropic yarrow
gloomy ferry
#

damn so it was earlier this year

tropic yarrow
#

what makes me doubt the 2nd friday of a year pattern is that the previous cycle's EDI/EA day was a Wednesday

#

whereas it was a Monday for us

#

it was in fact a Friday for ED II tho

toxic saddle
#

If they still don’t know today it’s definitely not the 9th

#

🤪

gloomy ferry
#

i mean they could just not tell yall

tropic yarrow
thin sluice
#

its uchicago

#

they like to fuck with us

blazing hill
#

I think it’s best we expect the 16th going forward

thin sluice
#

i am still a 9th believer 😔

pulsar skiff
#

#

when and where did they say this 😭

pulsar skiff
#

do you mean engineering DEs vs math major DEs or just DEs in general?

thin sluice
#

i dont know whether i should do math major or stats major ngl

#

cause my interest lies more on the stats end

#

probability, statistical inference and optimization

fading socket
#

The 9th is the truth and it won’t be any other way

#

IT SHALL BE THE 9TH

#

AMEN

fading socket
#

WE HOLD HOPE AND FAITH

blazing hill
#

You guys need to start placing bets then 🤷‍♂️

fading socket

It’s like 12:35pm there

final wave
#

#

i feel like they took a bit longer this year bc more applications

foggy nest
#

Is their lunar new year post AI-generated art?? LOL

thin sluice
foggy nest
#

watching the animation now, it def is

#

i didnt even see that it was animaetd at first

#

I'm 99.9% confident it's AI-generated

spiral estuary
#

Manifesting tomorrow

final wave
#

spam their instagram

#

until the person who runs it complains

spiral estuary
#

PLEASE SOMEONE TAKE ONE FOR THR TEAM AND CALL

#

I WILL

#

If nobody volunteers

final wave
#

thank u

pls call

#

spiral estuary
#

Bro I’m in class too 😭

foggy nest
#

ill do it at 3pm est if nobody else does

spiral estuary
#

Ill try during lunch

spiral estuary
#

I need to eat my lunch

#

I’m in PST so once I cal it’ll be too late on their end

foggy nest
thin sluice

yeah its definitely AI generated

tropic yarrow

spiral estuary
#

Everyone should just comment under when Ed 2 is

blazing hill
#

Guessing it costs less than having a designer do it too

foggy nest
#

how easy it is to tell

thin sluice
#

its definitely AI generated

#

i think as a still frame its believable

#

but the animation isnt

spiral estuary
#

If it really is AI I’m hella disappointed cause they couldn’t even bother hiring a real animator to honor a holiday that’s important to a proportion of their student body

tropic yarrow
thin sluice
#

yeah ik

tropic yarrow
thin sluice
#

thats what i said it looks normal as a still frame

We recognize the dedication and hard work you have put into your academic and extracurricular pursuits, and we genuinely appreciate your interest in the University of Chicago. We encourage you to continue pursuing your academic and personal goals, and we wish you success in all your future endeavors.

#

gauging*

tropic yarrow
# foggy nest that's reasonable

yea. given there are fewer parameters for the UK, it makes much more sense for them to do it. Does also feel like a sucker punch that being off by a grade or 2 could disqualify you automatically

final wave
#

i literally have been so delulu that i just like assumed it was feb 9

#

and ignored the evidence that suggested otherwise

thin sluice
#

is there a defer for ED2?

#

or just waitlist

tropic yarrow
#

waitlist

foggy nest
#

thin sluice

tropic yarrow
# foggy nest domestic is studying in the US

"The University of Chicago considers you an international applicant for purposes of financial aid if you are neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. permanent resident, regardless of where in the world you live and go to school."

mid is crazy

thin sluice

# thin sluice Euclid tho was huge with geometry ngl

euclid just collected common knowledge of the time, he didn't actually come up with all those results himself. Also the greeks were so deadset on using geometry to state algebra problems the arabs could solve equations way easier (as far as I'm aware, not a historian lol)

#

the timelines are probably a lot more complicated though, idk if algebra came around way after the greeks or at the same time tho

granite summit
#

it still might be released tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

pale kayak
#

Maybe they wanna surprise everyone

granite summit
#

just depends on what you think is “mid feb”

#

mid feb is anywhere from like the 9th to the 16th

#

wait also how many people ed2?

#

on average?

#

i’m guessing 3k?

tawny monolith

tawny monolith
#

that’s crazy

tawny monolith

but ig that’s just an estimate

granite summit
#

that’s accepted tho right

tawny monolith
#

yea

granite summit
#

like in general how many people apply ed 2

tawny monolith
#

ion know, I’d check like Reddit or smth

granite summit
#

uchi unfortunately ain’t that popular on reddit 😓

#

i also don’t know how to use reddit 🔥

fading socket
#

idk but I can’t believe that

#

Too high right

blazing hill
#

Why does 750 spots sound too good to be true?

fading socket
#

because it probably is

tawny monolith
#

that’s what they go by tho

#

I mean at least when my regional counselor came here

#

they said that

tawny monolith
fading socket
#

yeah but only 3k ED2ers?

final wave
#

nah ed2 definitely lower

tawny monolith
#

I mean idk

#

you wouldn’t be able to really tell

#

prolly more prolly less

#

again it’s EA defers that also just apply and regular people that wanted extra time but plan to commit

fading socket
#

if it were true then I’d have a fighting chance but who knows

fading socket
tawny monolith
#

how stressed is everyone

fading socket
#

tbh I just want it to be over with

I think I put as much into my application as I could’ve reasonably done

#

every opportunity tried, every essay redone to hell, days editing and recording the video

#

If it doesn’t work then I know I did my best

#

But I just want to know now

tawny monolith
#

I get that

#

I ain't even record a video

Fuck it we ball

Good luck to you as well

Good luck guys

#

(I'm getting rejected)

fading socket
#

be apprehensive but don’t be sure of anything

pale kayak
#

ppl at my school applied EA and not ED

#

so ED could be like 20%

#

They just somehow think it might tarnish their reputation if they published the individual acceptance rates

pulsar skiff
#

no filler posts

thin sluice
#

do they have RD yield rates?

#

we can make some assumptions too btw

#

like if they take a modest 60% of their class from both EDs. and the yield rate for ED is 98%. then non ED yield rate (x) should be .6 * 98 + .4 x = 88

#

x = 73% yield rate

#

which makes sense, its in line with most mid-top ivies

pale kayak
#

yea idk

thin sluice
#

for 2027, it was 4.8% overall acceptance rate. if 60% of their class comes from ED, at x% admission rate, and 40% comes from EA + RD at an average of y% acceptance rate, then .6x + .4y = 4.8

pale kayak
#

thing is with EA and RD there’s reasons why they didn’t apply ED

thin sluice
pulsar skiff
#

what is a yield rate sphereflush

pale kayak
#

so I feel like their yield is likely lower than expected

thin sluice
pale kayak
#

all ik is that uchicago has stuff to hide

thin sluice
pulsar skiff
thin sluice
#

their RD yield could be lower

pale kayak
#

yea

thin sluice
#

but then their % of class from ED

#

will be way higher

pale kayak
#

and they take a larger share from ED then expected

thin sluice
#

like 80%+

pale kayak
#

maybe that’s the case

thin sluice
#

if we take 80% from ED

pale kayak
#

I feel like there’s a reason for everything

thin sluice
#

then their yield comes out to 48%

pale kayak
#

so they have a reason to hide it somehow

#

ngl who knows

thin sluice
#

yes

#

i think

#

their ED

pale kayak
#

is crazy high

thin sluice
#

is actually 20%+

pale kayak
#

yea

thin sluice
#

so we hve any relation

#

we can get a rough estimate then

pale kayak
#

Mhm

thin sluice
#

i mean

#

if we go by 70% from ED. and take EA + RD as 5%

#

we can come to a figure

#

but thats unrealistic, it should be way lower

#

since overall is 4.8

#

so what we can do instead

#

is just graph it out lmfao

warm hearth
#

take a look at it, their numbers are pretty good

pale kayak
#

Makes a lot of sense

thin sluice
#

yeah

#

man i cant send images here ugh

#

one sec

pale kayak
#

Makes sense why they only publish the together acceptance rate

#

Cuz ppl would be shitting on them for yield protecting like crazy

thin sluice
#

feasible region for possible acceptance rates

pale kayak
#

Yea

thin sluice
#

wait i think

#

i am missing something

its 4.30 AM i really should sleep

they haven't announced it beforehand so it won't be tomorrow, since based on all their past decisions they've at least said something a couple of days before

Given that an Insta post hasn’t dropped the likelihood of decisions being out tomorrow is decreased significantly— it’s conditional probability

the data doesnt lie

its tomorrow

spiral estuary
#

OUR TRENDS ARE FLAWED AND FALLACIOUS

toxic saddle
#

disprove that

fading socket
#

The trends clearly show that the UChicago posts about the date at least a day in advance

#

Factoring in that the due date for submitting was extended to the 10th

#

That means a turnaround of maybe 29ish days or so

since you're sending it to the office, you should probably make it clear that the usernames are online accounts

personally, the "soo I threw this together..." might not work well if you're trying to come off as weirdly invested (feels more informal)
