[dire lantern]

Chat I did a summer program y’all think it’ll come in clutch? (Applying ed2)

[cunning star]

Fly ins rlly good chance

[forest zodiac]

pre college is not tho

[dire lantern]

The class valedictorian from my school who went to the same fly in program as me, is applying with the same major as me, and has similar stats applied ea and she got deferred so… 💀💀

[sly mulch]

They just mass defer ea

[wind umbra]

OMG I JUST GOT A LIKELY

[sly mulch]

Transfer?

[forest zodiac]

troll?

[kind maple]

Applying EA and applying ED2 are completely different

[dire lantern]

I understand that but it just makes me concerned for my own decision

[honest basin]

Damn de

[wind umbra]

omgg i cant believe i acc just got in 😭

[honest basin]

Fr??

thats awesome alex

[honest basin]

rd?

[wind umbra]

yaa

[honest basin]

awesome sausage

[wind umbra]

[honest basin]

Makes sense

[boreal terrace]

Who’s excited for next week

Ppl who got in ED1 at my HS come to school wearing matching Chicago hoodies each Friday I want to join them so bad lmao

[lapis karma]

I want it to be later

I feel like if i get rejected ill be depressed for an entire month and a half till the rest of my decisions

And if i get accepted i wont get to see if id have gotten accepted anywhere else (even tho id be so happy id literally be vomiting so it wouldnt matter but ykyk)

[hearty acorn]

when does RD come out?

[forest zodiac]

March

[boreal terrace]

If I get rejected atleast I’ll get to see what happens with my other applications

I’m getting buyers remorse with Uchicago 😭

[clear kindle]

if i don’t get in i’m never drinking a milkshake ever again

https://tenor.com/view/dog-eating-cabbage-qiwimedia-gif-20845042

[sly mulch]

Why it’s the best school to ever exist

[forest zodiac]

nah

it’s not rly as nice as any HYPSM, Duke, Brown, Upenn or Columbia but it’s the best school that offers ED2

[formal sonnet]

True

[wooden nexus]

Ur user 😭

[cyan haven]

I feel like its better or at least on par with the lower tier ivys

[honest basin]

Apples to oranges

[sly mulch]

It’s the best school ever actually of all time

[formal sonnet]

Yes

Guys ima be so real i genuinely did not do any research on why uchicago until after i did ED2

LOL

I genuinely was like

Oh someone with grades like me applied and got in

T20
Harry Potter

Ok lemme sign the agreement

[honest basin]

How did bro write Why uchicag

[formal sonnet]

I wrote it as a court manuscript where I’m the defendant and I was defending my case on why I should go to Chicago and tied it into like their programs and stuff

For why us essays I had like a worksheet for like info I need on the school to write one

But I feel like I barely knew anything and wasn’t attached to the school until after I submitted my Ed agreement and talked to other people who also applied lol

[honest basin]

Very awesome

You will get in

I’ve decided it

[formal sonnet]

Oh thanks shawty bae

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

U too

[forest zodiac]

lowkey cold + grade deflation is a horrendous combo

[wooden nexus]

cornell COUGH uchicago COUGH

[cyan haven]

what grades?

[cyan haven]

thats lowk p unique

[boreal terrace]

Literally me stop I got deferred from Georgetown and was not in a position to think rationally when I committed ED2

Lmao but if I get in it is what it is 😭😭

[boreal terrace]

I’d argue Uchicago is above duke, on par with UPenn and Columbia

[kind maple]

Columbia is the school most comparable to UChicago out of the ivys probably

[honest basin]

definitely

[formal sonnet]

3.3 uw

Ik it’s terrible but like I have extentuating circumstance and have unique ECs compared to other hs students

[boreal terrace]

Guys I know the core is such a big part of Uchicago and it stresses me out

I love humanities but I practically hate math n science

😭😭 should’ve researched more before ed2, but I can’t wait to dive into my major after sophomore year

[sly mulch]

Me too

[formal sonnet]

Guys ima be so real I didn’t know what the core is either

[boreal terrace]

😭

[formal sonnet]

Until like

Last week

[boreal terrace]

People say it’s like THE defining characteristic of Uchicago

Ugh

[formal sonnet]

And also grade deflation

[boreal terrace]

And also the weather oh my god

[sly mulch]

I’m from Michigan so used to cold

[boreal terrace]

But it’s fine

[formal sonnet]

Yeah I’m hype for snowboarding

[boreal terrace]

My UA assured me that it’s beautiful in the non winter months

[boreal terrace]

Lucky

[cyan haven]

wait the core is lowk like mit no?

[boreal terrace]

I think so ik it’s hard

And I’d ideally dive straight into poli sci

[cyan haven]

damn

[boreal terrace]

But oh well

If I get in it’ll be very stupid to not be grateful

And happy

[sly mulch]

Do you have any colleges ur happy with rn if you don’t get in

[boreal terrace]

Yes! I really love dc and I have American and I’m waiting for GWU but that’s a likely. And I’ll also get to see a final decision for Georgetown in March and get closure

Wbu

[cyan haven]

guys dc is not that cool (i live 5 minutes away from it)

idk why every1 says that

[boreal terrace]

Is Lokey is tho for me

I live and breathe politics

[cyan haven]

still

i mean i just dont think theres a lot going on usually

[boreal terrace]

Yk what that’s true I think I’m romanticizing it too much

[cyan haven]

yh

[boreal terrace]

Chicago should be way more interesting in terms of culture and all

[cyan haven]

fs

plus in order to properly live in dc u gotta pay hella

[boreal terrace]

True

How do we feel about Chicago’s theory heavy reputation

I am not a very theoretical person I love practical things 😭

I clearly did not do my research

[cyan haven]

lol

is what it is

guess youll see if ur gonna do theory for the next 4 years of your life on friday

[kind maple]

it would depend on what u want to study ig

potentially really good stuff for stem

[cyan haven]

business?

[sly mulch]

What are you planning to study?

[kind maple]

Im big into stem

want to try out molecular engineering

[boreal terrace]

That’s cool

[kind maple]

it will totally suck

but im curious abt it

[boreal terrace]

UChicago seems like a great place for molecular engineering

[cyan haven]

out of curiosity, anyone know how easy it is to transfer to t10s from uchicago

[sly mulch]

Why would you do that

[cyan haven]

out of curioisity

not that im gonna do it

[boreal terrace]

Not really but it probably should be easier than transferring from a lot of other schools

Also study abroad is only for a quarter not a whole semester 😭😭

[cyan haven]

i think thats good tbh

[boreal terrace]

Really

[cyan haven]

semester is lowk too long

[kind maple]

u lowkey got to be in chicago for 2 years before switching

[boreal terrace]

ATP on Friday if I get in I’ll have the exact same reaction as if I don’t get in

[cyan haven]

why?

[kind maple]

idk

6 academic quarters, half of the requirements for ur intended major

[cyan haven]

hmm true

[boreal terrace]

Chicago is a world class city and UChicago is one of the greatest intellectual centers in the world where I will be surround by motivated passionate individuals who are some of the smartest students in the planet

That’s my cope

Anyways bye yall gl

[cyan haven]

also 5% acceptance rate

so yeah

add that too

on the level of mit and stuff

and add that its a t15 school

[dapper sandal]

idk lowkey i jus applied cuz the buildings pretty

[forest zodiac]

idt upenn and columbia are on the same level. Upenn loses out on cross admits by a significant margin (30% vs 70%) as does uchicago versus columbia

I’m still Ed2ing tho cuz dominant strategy + good econ program

[sly mulch]

I applied because I was John d Rockefeller for my fifth grade wax museum and he founded uchicago or something

[forest zodiac]

he did?

ew standard oil

[formal sonnet]

Is it easy to switch majors at UChicago

Idk what stupid major I applied for

But I wanna do business/finance

And be a finance bro

[forest zodiac]

those aren’t majors in uchicago

only business econ is

[formal sonnet]

Is it easy to switch to business econ??

[cyan haven]

Wait actually? that makes me want to go even more

Such a fan of rockefeller

[cyan haven]

Yea once at chicago you can do literally whatever you want

[forest zodiac]

^^

[formal sonnet]

Okg that so cool

I love that

[forest zodiac]

Lowkey just tryna temper my expectations so I don’t crash out if i get WL/rejected

I’m not even going to bother looking up anything about the school

[formal sonnet]

Is it hard to get off wl?

[forest zodiac]

yes, yield is high and they waitlist a huge amount of ppl

[formal sonnet]

Ah

[cyan haven]

Rip

Well makes sense

Because most of their kids are from ed

[fervent saffron]

he was not the greatest guy

[dapper sandal]

i mean there have been worse guys ™️

[fervent saffron]

for my why us i talked in part about having recently read a book by a uchicago professor

(which is technically not true bc i havent finished it yet)

[lapis karma]

What are you comparing by?

Gotta be just name recognition right? Most other metrics uchicago leads by in third place

Median income, selectiveness, academic programs etc

I guess student happiness is lower too

[lapis karma]

Might be easier if you have a fantastic reason for transfer

[boreal terrace]

Yea I’m pretty sure everyone enters undeclared so you can declare whatever you want regardless of what major you applied as

[pallid gull]

why would you ed2 to chicago if you dont love it

[pallid gull]

like wtf who decides to ED then needs to cope with it

[cyan haven]

lol

[sly mulch]

Yeah just withdraw at that point 😭

[cyan haven]

did yall submit a video?

@pallid gull u got in right?

[forest zodiac]

makes the most sense strategically

[forest zodiac]

yeah just repasted my brown video

[south viper]

A lot of people switch to bizcon even in second year lol

it’s a very easy major

[boreal terrace]

Me I guess 😭 it’s fine Uchicago is my second choice anyways and it’s not like I was gonna get into Georgetowns SFS which was my first choice so

Rather than get rejected from that in the spring might as well try Chicago ED2

[forest zodiac]

erm uchicago is more selective

[boreal terrace]

Ik but my school has a good rep with UChicago lol

11/19 last gear got in and 8/10 the year before so it was pretty much my best shot at a top school

[cyan haven]

wow

if 2 people alr got in is that a good or bad look for me

[forest zodiac]

depends on ur school

mine gets 2 every year and 1 guy alr got in even though he shouldn’t have

he got rejected harvard rea and uchicago let him switch from ea to ed a week before ed decisions. He basically got two colleges for ED1 smh

[sly mulch]

I don’t think anyone from my school has ever gotten into u Chicago 😭

[boreal terrace]

Possibly good cause UChicago likes your school and is willing to accept more during ED2

[cyan haven]

Damn

[honest basin]

ik no one has

my counselor told me😭😭

[strange hound]

No one has got into a T50 from my school ever.
I hope to be the first.

[sly mulch]

T50 is kinda crazy

[forest zodiac]

what about like rutgers or uiuc or uw madison?

[sly mulch]

Honestly if it’s a lower demographic school no one thinks to apply to those colleges they probably aren’t even familiar with them

Half of the class probably isn’t even considering college and the rest are between the local community college or closest state college so it makes sense

[strange hound]

No, not at all.

[forest zodiac]

wait nvm ur intl

[lapis karma]

Dang ur the same as me

My suggestion is just do more research about uchicago

I had buyers guilt too

But the more i found out about it the more i kinda fell in love tbh

It might turn into an equal/ top choice

[cyan haven]

My only issue with uchicago is that I gotta be hella studious like on the level of mit kids

But idk if thats what I wanna do, i think im tryna just party

[echo kettle]

Bruh u shoulda thought abt that when u applied 😭

[cyan haven]

Nah i think its all good. Im willing to struggle for the next 4 years if it means i go to uchicago

[echo kettle]

Fair enough

[forest zodiac]

undergrad gpa is overrated

just lock out and roll with a 3.0

[cyan haven]

Im pretty ppl at chicago still need to put in a good bit of work to get a 3.0

Cuz of grade deflation no?

[forest zodiac]

nah, that’s well below gpa avg

if you need to put in a considerable amount of effort to maintain a 3.0 it’s concerning

[cyan haven]

Oh lol

[cyan haven]

Apparently their avg is a 3.3-3.5

[wooden nexus]

oh that grade deflation is no joke

💀

[forest zodiac]

meh, that doesn’t seem all that terrible

around the same as pton

[lapis karma]

Princeton median is 3.7

Having .3 points less than the school known for grade deflation is significant

Altho thats probably why uchicago grads make so much

[lapis karma]

💀unless ur going to grad school

Or omg law or med school

[forest zodiac]

umm no

only brown’s is that high and harvard is near there (3.65)

avg gpa seems to hover around 3.48-3.53

[lapis karma]

Oh it was a senior survey. The median senior survey grade is actually 3.77 now

Could be selection bias with worse gpa not reporting

[cyan haven]

for pton?

[lapis karma]

Could also just be seniors have better gpas because thats usually what happens anyways

Most bad grades are in earlier years

Which would make it more representative if anything

[forest zodiac]

Senior surveys are subject to selection bias cuz they only had ~570 responses out of ~1400 studsnts per grade

that’s less than 50% of class size and the students who aren’t doing too well would be less inclined to respond/report

[lapis karma]

Well no it depends if the sample is representative of the population idk their method

570/1400 doesnt mean they asked all 1400

They couldve done an srs

Which would make it representative

[forest zodiac]

idk man

ap stats logic is pretty flawed

i still have no idea how sampling works

[wooden nexus]

i need that gpaflation 🤑

[formal sonnet]

My school has been around since the late 1800s and only one person ever got into Harvard

💀💀💀💀

Same for uchi im pretty sure 😭

[forest zodiac]

damn, how so?

my school has had 9 since 2019 to uchicago and 5 to harvard

[formal sonnet]

No idea

I think it’s just like lack of preparation/ resources

Like it isn’t a public school so they do everything on their own

Fucking insane

Wish that was my school fr

[forest zodiac]

I go to a public school tho

[lapis karma]

Uhhh

[formal sonnet]

The top ranking private schools in my area also feed into ivys with high numbers

[lapis karma]

I think my school sent one to georgetown like long long ago

[formal sonnet]

I think I’m just unlucky coz my mom just really wanted me to do this super specific all girls school

[lapis karma]

Our biggest claim to fame is producing a current senator lol

[formal sonnet]

The public school next to my house is one of the best in Cali so it annoys me like everyday what could’ve been

[formal sonnet]

That’s so real

[forest zodiac]

My school is pretty well known so I kinda had to fudge up some of the numbers above ngl

[formal sonnet]

My old schools claim to fame before i transferred was that legally blonde was filmed there

Then they shut down

💀💀💀💀

[lapis karma]

Apparently he came back to give a speech once and he basically said our school was awful and he had to do it all himself

[formal sonnet]

LOL

[forest zodiac]

I thought it was shot at UCLA?

[formal sonnet]

REAL

[lapis karma]

Also apparently he was an average-below average student

Marco rubio btw

[formal sonnet]

The sorority house

Same for the school and uniforms used in ladybird

I’m only saying this coz the school shut down lmfoaoaoaoao

[forest zodiac]

um i lowkey don’t know any famous alumni from my school

[formal sonnet]

Omg love that

That’s so funny tho

I’d give the same speech at my school if given the chance

[dapper sandal]

my school has some of the randomest famous alumni

[lapis karma]

Spill

[dapper sandal]

im not gonna dox

but just some random ppl that are extremely random go on to do random shit that gets them on the list

[forest zodiac]

okay so no famous alumni

[dapper sandal]

basically famous but not celebs

[forest zodiac]

Good college outcomes ≠ famous alumni ig

[lapis karma]

Lol id feel like im disrespecting my teachers but id absolutely trash on the dress code

[formal sonnet]

Dude the fucking dress code at my school is so unesessary

We aren’t allowed vans

Shoes have to be completely blacked out

[honest basin]

W flexing

[lapis karma]

People who change their pfp mid conversation are so trippy to talk to

[formal sonnet]

LOL

[forest zodiac]

who does rhat

[formal sonnet]

I didn’t wanna show my face anymore whoopsies

[forest zodiac]

I’m deleting that cuz it’s doxxable

[lapis karma]

Oh i didnt even see it

[honest basin]

Buddy be fr

[lapis karma]

Ive met a few but its crazy how do you multitask a conversation and changing your pfp

What even triggers it

[lapis karma]

Wow thats crazy bad

For us any top has to be white orange brown any bottom has to be long jeans or short or long cargo

[forest zodiac]

I’m feining for the uchicago acceptance on friday tho

like 4.5 more days

[lapis karma]

Low how ive stayed firmly single for the past almost year and the universe still found a way to get me rejected on valentines day

[forest zodiac]

haha me but like 18 years

almost a year is lightwork

[honest basin]

are yall gonna do sum for valentines day

what if oyu on a cute date and then chicago rejects you

wyd

[forest zodiac]

I have the day off so I’m going to drown in ice cream and watch netflix

I’m more nervous about March 27th lmao

[honest basin]

whats comign out that day

[forest zodiac]

Applying to summer programs also helped me cope with rejection since I’m used to it now

[forest zodiac]

ivy day + Duke(?)

[honest basin]

oh ya ive heard abt that

[honest basin]

i didnt rly apply to any so im not 💔

i think i only applied to 1

😭

[forest zodiac]

lowkey why tho

shooters gotta shoot

[honest basin]

why what

[dapper sandal]

idk i hope i get into uchicago

but also lowkey not crazy bad if i don't get in

i'd say its my top choice but also at the same time i wanna have multiple choices but that's jus not really how college applications work

[forest zodiac]

my top choice is not letting me in- yale

I also like brown, princeton and duke more

[honest basin]

Buddy why would you ed then 😭

[forest zodiac]

Uchicago doesn’t take ppl RD, it makes the most sense strategically

[honest basin]

to strategically get into the highest ranked school possible?

[forest zodiac]

Best school for ED2 since NYU is mid and I don’t like JHU

[forest zodiac]

no, to end up somewhere good

if i wanted the highest ranked school I would’ve ED2ed JHU

[honest basin]

😭

so you decided to ed that isnt your top choice bc it would be ur best change at a "good" school

thats crazy

[forest zodiac]

yup

[echo kettle]

Around what time does it usually come out

[lapis karma]

5pm i think

[echo kettle]

Cst or est

[strange hound]

4 pm CST

[formal sonnet]

Same lmfoaoaoaooaoa

Also I just know people in Chicago where I can get finance internships from

So like win win

[formal sonnet]

I am lmfoaoaoaa

I already don’t have high hopes with college admissions so ima probs just open it mid date

Ima be like sorry brb gotta use the bathroom

Then just comeback with tears in my face

jkjk

[cyan haven]

lucky

am i cooked if i upload my mid year transcript now 😭

[sly mulch]

Yeah probably

Idk about cooked but I think it’s too late for them to consider it

[cyan haven]

what if i email them like rn

[forest zodiac]

They already made decisions by last friday

would have no bearing on your decision

[formal sonnet]

wait dawg

shawty

what

HUH

i thought our school uploads them

what

[cyan haven]

My school hasnt finalized it

So i gotta submit it

[echo kettle]

doubt they look at midyears for ED2

[sly mulch]

They request it from students who were deferred ea

[shell sentinel]

I think you should be fine honestly bc UChicago says on their website that they recommend submission by feb 1st or as soon as possible thereafter. They prolly know that some schools take time to finalize the mid year report so idt it's too important for ed2 decisions

i would submit it asap but i think you'd be fine even without it bc they've prolly already made decisions

i dont think not having one would impact your application for ed2

[honest basin]

guys

does it say this for you too?

the part above financial aid checklist

@formal sonnet

mine is gone now

[sly mulch]

It’s just portal stuff it doesn’t matter

[boreal terrace]

Also you should complete your fafsa asap 😭

[boreal terrace]

Literally me bro I love Georgetown so much but oh well. If I get in on Friday then UChicago chose me unlike you so your loss Georgetown 😂

[honest basin]

blud read the thing right above it

😭

[boreal terrace]

Oh lmao

Also if I get in ima start reading Plato and Hobbs and what not to get fully used to dense philosophical texts

Orientalism by Edward Said is also really good btw would recommend plus it’s good practice for the dense readings and discussions in SOCS or HUM

[forest zodiac]

I don’t read

I’m going to be scrolling reels 22/5

[boreal terrace]

GL getting through the core then /jk

[forest zodiac]

it can’t be all that bad

I like studying everything except philosophy and foreign languages

[boreal terrace]

Same I’m not the biggest fan of both but so much as Chicago seems to be philosophy 😞

I like practical modern day geopolitical discussions way more than philosophy and abstract theoretical thoughts

[dapper sandal]

lowkey those my two favourite things to study 💀

like outside of major

[formal sonnet]

can you appeal for uchi

[echo kettle]

No

[forest zodiac]

appeals are lowkey dumb, like why would they change their decision the second time around?

[dapper sandal]

i mean ig if u have the option u might aswell

idt there's any cost to doing one

[forest zodiac]

meh they should not exist

they only do for like usc and ut

[cyan haven]

I talked abt plato in one of my essays lol

[pallid gull]

If you wanna read Plato start with euthyphro and see if you like that

But you’ll probably like it because Plato is fire

[toxic gyro]

yoo

manifesting uchicago

[flat kernel]

its just a withdrawal button

it doesnt mean anything

portal astro isnt real and shouldnt be discussed here

pretty much every school updates their portal before decisions release

[dapper sandal]

also btw im pretty sure the withdrawal button leaving just means they have ur decision ready and nothing else

doesn't say anything abt admissions

[flat kernel]

yea literally every school does it lol

its like "you cant withdraw anymore because we already made a decision"

idk why that isnt the first thing that comes to mind for people lol

[dapper sandal]

ppl wanna know if they in or not lmao

i mean it makes sense

[forest zodiac]

the anticipation is killing me

[sly mulch]

I think what they were saying was that the people who got deferred ea still had the withdraw and it might be the same if ur waitlisted? But portal stuff is all arbitrary anyways

[flat kernel]

that isnt what they said they were speculating about the time it disappeared lol

[wooden nexus]

gl ed2 peeps

[sly mulch]

Ohh I didn’t read it that closely

[civic holly]

Four more days 😋😋😋

[echo kettle]

has anyones withdraw app button disappeared

[forest zodiac]

no

[shell sentinel]

nope

[honest basin]

a diff part of my portal disappeared

[cyan haven]

What

[honest basin]

the lil text above financial aid

saying that applications have been processed

its not there anymore

[formal sonnet]

What time does ed2

Come out

And how many ppl apply ed2

[sly mulch]

Probably around 5pm

[dire lantern]

Wait chat I kinda always had the withdraw button on my portal

Does that mean I was rejected early?? 😭😭😭

[sly mulch]

!astrology

[low kernel]

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 129 times.

[sly mulch]

Everybody has a withdraw button

[dire lantern]

Oh then why are people saying it appeared and disappeared?

Sorry y’all I’m tweaking tf out rn about my decision

Also it still says my fafsa form hasn’t processed yet. Is that fine 💀💀💀💀💀

[sly mulch]

Yeah it says that for everyone read the note under it

[sly mulch]

They’re talking about last decision round

[dire lantern]

Ohhh alr

Thank you 🙏

[honest basin]

i’m pretty sure its a diff year

[honest basin]

blud READ THE PORTAL!!

[dire lantern]

I did…..

[honest basin]

it says they cant download fafsa💔

[formal sonnet]

!astrology

[low kernel]

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 130 times.

[formal sonnet]

I need this for myself

[boreal terrace]

I Lokey got kicked out of this server for a day back in December for two portal astrol*gy messages how have yall not faced consequences yet 😭

And I was speculating about the widthraw button

[forest zodiac]

womp womp

[cyan haven]

okay anyone know why the members list on this is like this lmao

[boreal terrace]

What’s w the middle finger tho

[cyan haven]

real

[boreal terrace]

Oh Isabella has it

I think you have some sort of glitch

Just a giant f you 🙁

[cyan haven]

yea i mean look at tis

[boreal terrace]

Loll

[fervent saffron]

this is not what i want to see after my incoming rejection letter

[flat kernel]

everyone has the withdraw button, it doesnt have anything to do w your decision lol people just like to speculate

[flat kernel]

normally it depends on the intent (some people genuinely dont realize that people are just making things up) but we tend to be much more strict abt it closer to decision releases

i.e. ED drops in december lol

[dapper sandal]

signed The Rizzler at the end of the letter

can we get five big booms for thsi application

[fervent saffron]

🔥

[formal sonnet]

LOL

💥💥💥💥💥

[cursive girder]

what time do we think

[dapper sandal]

3pm

[cursive girder]

cst?

[dapper sandal]

im guessing 3 pm est

[cursive girder]

2pm cst seems early

[dapper sandal]

[forest zodiac]

[formal sonnet]

Leave this disc

Enjoy some air when you can

[dapper sandal]

free yourself

[stark robin]

☠️

[dire lantern]

Does uchicago mass defer edii admissions?

[boreal terrace]

No

Just EA

ED2 I’m pretty sure is mostly reject

And of course some acceptances and i don’t even know if there’s deferrals

[strange hound]

I think in ED2 there is just accept/reject/waitlist

[fervent saffron]

they dont defer ed2

just waitlist, accept, and reject

[dire lantern]

bruh I feel like I’m not gonna get in and I’ve hyping myself up these past couple months 😭

[sly mulch]

Uchicago is a slim chance for almost everybody it’s okay

[dapper sandal]

the uchicago rizzzzzz is gonna get me thru this

[fading charm]

0 rizz

[boreal terrace]

Guys atleast if we don’t get in we won’t have to survive midwestern winters

And worry about stray bullets while riding the green line

[boreal terrace]

How do you get by in that weather 😭

[sly mulch]

I mean that’s just regular winter weather

[forest zodiac]

the northeast is equally bad so idm

only <-10 hurts my soul

[cyan haven]

Bro use Fahrenheit, that temp is lowk light

[sly mulch]

That is Fahrenheit

[forest zodiac]

WHAT

NAHHHHH im out

that is NOT regular winter weather

[sly mulch]

Why yall would think it’s Celsius we r in America

[forest zodiac]

Withdrew my app rn

[forest zodiac]

Metric system tho

[sly mulch]

This is next week for me

[sly mulch]

Yeah but for weather Fahrenheit is lowk better + America 🦅

[forest zodiac]

I like miles, but celsius and kilos are nicer

I don’t mind pounds

farenheit is just awful to use

40 is warm. 40 cannot be cold

[sly mulch]

It’s easier to be more exact with pounds and Fahrenheit like in terms of weight and weather

[forest zodiac]

100 should boil your skin. 100 cannot be a summer day

0 is the freezing point of water. It can’t just mean nothing

you didn’t see that

[sly mulch]

No but like 32 is when it starts snowing and like 0 is when it’s like actually could

[forest zodiac]

32 is cold 😭

snow should start at 0

[sly mulch]

It’s all in the wind

Chicago is called the Windy City tho

[cyan haven]

Oh i gotchu, for next week

[sly mulch]

Yeah but using negatives for what would be like 20 degrees Fahrenheit is so dramatic and undeserving

[forest zodiac]

no way

[cyan haven]

Real

[forest zodiac]

I don’t leave the house when it’s negative

negative = bad = stay indoors

I would be misinformed if I saw a 20

[sly mulch]

What state 😭😭

Or international

[cyan haven]

20 degrees is not bad tbh

Ill walk to school when its like 10 degrees out

[sly mulch]

I mean if u don’t grow up in the climate obviously it’ll suck

[cyan haven]

True

[boreal terrace]

Bro that is Fahrenheit 😭😭😭

That’s Celsius 💀

Rip

A high of -13 is actually diabolical

This is my winter weather it’s so mild and nice

[sly mulch]

See this just looks stupid

Celsius

[boreal terrace]

No calculus > f

Oops Celsius

[sly mulch]

For science and stuff yeah but for like weather no way

[boreal terrace]

Everyone uses C tho F is just confusing

0 degrees being the benchmark for below freezing vs above freezing makes so much sense

[sly mulch]

Well yeah but the increments are all weird like it’s too close together

[boreal terrace]

True but I’ll never get used to F lol

[cyan haven]

Yea my bad

[boreal terrace]

If I don’t get in it’ll feel so weird because I know so much about Chicago now (from the metro lines to the neighborhoods to O’Hare and midway and the suburbs like Evanston and Winnetka)

And all of that info will just be in my brain but I won’t ever be going to Chicago lol

[sly mulch]

You’ve never been?

[boreal terrace]

Nope

[sly mulch]

Wonderful city

[boreal terrace]

Yup sounds like one

Not as good as mine tho but still good

[forest zodiac]

northeast

[boreal terrace]

Downtown and so many other neighborhoods seem to cool but accessibly via public transport seems really bad 😭

Wdym I’ll have to wait TWENTY MINUTES for the train

[pallid timber]

Help I still don’t know anything

[sly mulch]

I hate public transport so much being from Michigan we just drive everywhere 😭

[forest zodiac]

The less i know the better

tame impala or smn

[boreal terrace]

I’m the exact opposite being from London I live and breathe public transport and take trains coming every two mins for granted lmao

[sly mulch]

I hate buses especially trains r fine but like inconvenient

[boreal terrace]

True

[pallid timber]

New York public transport 🥰🥰

[forest zodiac]

The more I read about Uchicago the less I like it

[sly mulch]

I would hate living in nyc

[forest zodiac]

it’s unideal

[boreal terrace]

Would I be crucified if I agreed

[forest zodiac]

too much weed

subway is lowkey scary

[pallid timber]

Less compared to ny LOL

[forest zodiac]

Boston is great

so is DC

[sly mulch]

NYC seems so dirty

[boreal terrace]

Emphasis on DC

[pallid timber]

It is

[sly mulch]

Subways and all

[forest zodiac]

I meant nyc has too much weed

[pallid timber]

Oh definitely

[sly mulch]

NYC has rats

[boreal terrace]

But guys the lake is gorgeous

[pallid timber]

It’s not that bad 😭😭

[sly mulch]

I love Michigan

[boreal terrace]

Michigan seems nice

[forest zodiac]

I lowkey don’t think nyc rats are that much of an endemic

[boreal terrace]

Yall have a W governor

[pallid timber]

Boston is basically the clean version of nyc

[forest zodiac]

like they’re not just gonna climb up your feet when you walk

[pallid timber]

yea I barely see them out in the open

[forest zodiac]

they vibe underground

[pallid timber]

And the apartments!!

[forest zodiac]

and possibly in your walls

[sly mulch]

Yeah but the fact that they’re present

[forest zodiac]

live and let live

[pallid timber]

That’s a con for so many other pros

[sly mulch]

In terms of big cities I still think Chicago solos nyc

[boreal terrace]

I’m just gonna say London is way more polished than nyc and is much cleaner even tho nyc has way more cultural impact

[pallid timber]

But I’ll admit subways r dirty ash sometimes

[forest zodiac]

I do appreciate culinaey diversity in nyc

[sly mulch]

But I still love Detroit

[forest zodiac]

and the high prices

[boreal terrace]

Oh yea Chicago is cheap for a city guys

So there’s that

[sly mulch]

Wish Detroit had a uchicago counterpart

[forest zodiac]

it makes me feel bougie paying 20 bucks for a literal sandwich

[pallid timber]

Helppp

[sly mulch]

Chicago has that too

[boreal terrace]

Guys every single U.S. city is a non city compared to London

It is by far the ultimate city

[forest zodiac]

LA???

[pallid timber]

LOL I wanna visit London someday

[forest zodiac]

London aint allat

[sly mulch]

The uk is a noncountry compared to the usa

[pallid timber]

I lowk don’t like la

[forest zodiac]

footy is goated tho

[boreal terrace]

Agreed but just London clears

[forest zodiac]

If you took the soccer out of london I would disagree so badly

[sly mulch]

Yeah but you have to be around British people

[forest zodiac]

also lower incomes and higher taxation

[pallid timber]

Is there like a uk fast food chain that’s unique to the region

Like in n out for California

[boreal terrace]

I’m going to miss the free museums the most

All our big museums r free

[forest zodiac]

umm

there’s free museums in the US too

[boreal terrace]

The art institute of Chicago looks cool tho but it’s so expensive

[boreal terrace]

In DC yea

[pallid timber]

Our public museums r pay as u wish for ny residents 😌😌

[sly mulch]

You could probably get student passes to a lot of the Chicago museums

[forest zodiac]

NYC has plenty if you have libraries and stuff

[pallid timber]

We have the metropolitan!

[boreal terrace]

But when do u get to casually see Van Gogh after school for free

[forest zodiac]

I live in NJ and I get free tickets to the intrepid and Moma and MET

[sly mulch]

Online

[pallid timber]

Also if u go to college in nyc there’s hella free student passes everywhere

[boreal terrace]

True

[sly mulch]

I should’ve applied to nyu but was too lazy

[boreal terrace]

I’m most excited for the unlimited meal swipe guys

[sly mulch]

Idrc tho

[boreal terrace]

I’ll eat so much

[pallid timber]

Wait I didn’t know abt that wow

[forest zodiac]

NYU is so annoying, I applied cuz I like opening decision letters

that dopamine rush ykwim

[pallid timber]

I lowk applied to uchicago on a complete whim 😭😭

[boreal terrace]

I think it’s not much of a loss especially if u get in to Chicago obviously

[sly mulch]

Ed or rd

[pallid timber]

Rd

[boreal terrace]

Me too

[sly mulch]

Yeah and I have umich already so

[boreal terrace]

Lmao

[forest zodiac]

maybe I have a gambling addiction but I think it’s dedication

[pallid timber]

I know nothing abt the school 😭😭

[pallid timber]

All those supps mean dedication

[forest zodiac]

rahhhhh UVA

[boreal terrace]

That’s one way to put it

[forest zodiac]

I wake up shaking at the prospect of opening the next decision letter

[boreal terrace]

Who’s ED2 vs RD here

[sly mulch]

I’m always back and forth between like being scared I’ll miss out on umich if I get in to uchicago and being devastated that chances are so slim to get into uchicago cause it’s my dream school

[pallid timber]

I forgot to apply to umich 😭😭

[forest zodiac]

ED2

[dire lantern]

ED2

[pallid timber]

RD

[pallid timber]

My next decision comes out 3/14 so I have a whiiiile to wait

[boreal terrace]

U Mich has a great political science program but idk those winters without a big city I couldn’t handle

[pallid timber]

Def true

[boreal terrace]

Atleast you have a month of peace

[sly mulch]

Ann Arbor is a nice college town tho

[pallid timber]

Gl to ED2ers!!

[boreal terrace]

Yea Ann Arbor is so pretty

Also again I’m a fan of big Gretchen

Idk what people from Michigan think of her tho

[pallid timber]

Who is that

[sly mulch]

Governor of Michigan

She’s alright

[pallid timber]

I didn’t know ppl abroad cared abt American politics 😭😭

What a shitshow

[boreal terrace]

Every American always says that

Your guys politics affects us as much as you it’s so sad

[sly mulch]

She got like a cult following online cause she’s cool with the younger generations

[forest zodiac]

MIT?

[pallid timber]

Yep 😭😭

[forest zodiac]

I have uchicago on friday then nothing til 21st march and then like 10 on 27th

[pallid timber]

[boreal terrace]

Boston is so cool

[pallid timber]

I love Boston omg

[forest zodiac]

Boston is awesome

[boreal terrace]

Damn

[pallid timber]

Ivy day right? I heard that was the 26th tho

[forest zodiac]

[boreal terrace]

And I jut love the east coast especially good old puritan New England /jk

[pallid timber]

Same I didn’t apply much else aside from the schools coming out the 27th

[forest zodiac]

Mainly cuz I’m sticking to the east coast

[pallid timber]

Sameee

[forest zodiac]

the furthest I’m applying is Duke/Uchi

[boreal terrace]

My birthday is March 27 so hopefully I’ll have gotten into uchicago so I won’t have to sit through decisions on my birthday lmao

[pallid timber]

Omg 😭😭😭

[forest zodiac]

only thanksgiving sucks

[sly mulch]

I’m gonna be only like 4 hours away if I get into uchicago and it still makes me sad

[boreal terrace]

That’s a little too close

[pallid timber]

I can’t wait to leave LOL

[boreal terrace]

True but I have family in the USA if only I was in the East coast ugh

[forest zodiac]

I can wait to leave

[sly mulch]

I was planning on going to a really close uni and just commuting everyday till like couple months ago

[forest zodiac]

growing up is scary

[boreal terrace]

That’s actually kind of cool

[sly mulch]

Literally

[pallid timber]

tbh I ed’d Columbia which is super close to my home

[forest zodiac]

like damn I’m going to be dead some day

incomprehensible

[boreal terrace]

Woah that’s taking it too far

[sly mulch]

I just don’t wanna leave my whole family behind

[boreal terrace]

That’s an opinion not a fact

[sly mulch]

I’ll call my mom everyday

[forest zodiac]

what gang 💀

I am not immortal

[boreal terrace]

😭

Death is not a fate guys be positive

[sly mulch]

Ann Arbor is only an hour from my house and I would still be sad about dorming at umich

[forest zodiac]

[boreal terrace]

The weekends would be nice then

[sly mulch]

Yeah

[pallid timber]

LOL I’m jumping at the prospect of forming 4 hrs away

[boreal terrace]

Im being sarcastic about that btw

[forest zodiac]

nah if you don’t stay on campus you miss out on social life

[sly mulch]

I have little siblings I don’t wanna be a stranger idk

[boreal terrace]

I’ll be a 8 hour plane ride away lol

[sly mulch]

Idrc about social life at all point as long as I get good education cause all my friends r going different places anyways

[boreal terrace]

I reallllly don’t wanna be lonely in college that would feel so weird

[pallid timber]

ur a better older sibling than I am 💀

[boreal terrace]

I’m going to try and make friends ASAP

Otherwise it would just suck

I think I’d get depressed 💀

[pallid timber]

Good thing everyone’s trying to do that freshman year

[boreal terrace]

Yup

[forest zodiac]

being friendless sucks

but that’s senior year for me

[boreal terrace]

But in HS atleast you’re still home Yk

[forest zodiac]

all my friends were a grade or two above i did not invest time into relationships with people in my grade

[boreal terrace]

In college u have no one

[pallid timber]

Aw man this is just the transitional period then

You’ll be out soon

[sly mulch]

I’ve had the same 3 hours with the same 20 people last 3 years

[forest zodiac]

netflix and unlimited meal swipes 💯

[boreal terrace]

That sucks. I’m also mostly friends with people in other grades but they’re all juniors loll

[sly mulch]

And like a good bunch of us got into umich and Ik a lot of people at umich

[boreal terrace]

I’m actually gonna eat so much I’m so excited

[pallid timber]

Are the dining halls known to be good

[sly mulch]

That was always best part of college visit field trips

[boreal terrace]

I’ve looked at the menu the food sounds good

[pallid timber]

Field trips??

[sly mulch]

Even if the food halls aren’t good Chicago downtown is like best food scene

[boreal terrace]

Everyone around me says I should not be thin given how much I talk about food and eat 💀

I love food

[sly mulch]

we had a couple last year and sophomore year

[pallid timber]

Lucky my school doesn’t do shit

[boreal terrace]

Woah thats lucky

[pallid timber]

Ur so real for that

[sly mulch]

I go to two schools so one is really good and the other is like dogshit

[pallid timber]

Oh is it like a half day thing?

Or DE

[sly mulch]

Yes

One is technically a program

[pallid timber]

Ooh ok I have some friends who did that for an acting school

[boreal terrace]

Wait how

Ohh

I see

[sly mulch]

It’s crazy cause I have friends that got into Yale and Princeton and Harvard and like lots of umich and then next hour it’s just

Like half the kids just were sleeping during the sat

[boreal terrace]

Lmao

[sly mulch]

But that’s the school that colleges compare me against so 😛

[forest zodiac]

I don’t have any friends in uchicago

[boreal terrace]

Wait so they compare you against the talented group or the bad group?

[sly mulch]

Bad group cause that’s my official school

[pallid timber]

we’re lowk blacklisted by uChicago

That’s why I applied

[boreal terrace]

Also I might Lokey take a gap year

[forest zodiac]

Blacklists are weird

[pallid timber]

just to see if I can break the curse

[forest zodiac]

idk how they work

[pallid timber]

No idea either

[sly mulch]

I just don’t think anyone has ever gotten in from my school atleast in the last decade

[forest zodiac]

I think my school is whitelisted

[boreal terrace]

Same lmao

[pallid timber]

damn 😭😭

our last one was d1 commit

[forest zodiac]

uchicago takes random WASPy people from our school

[boreal terrace]

I think out of like 20 kids who applied the last two years to ED 1 and 2 two got rejected

[forest zodiac]

like people who you’d expect to not go to t20s

[pallid timber]

My school except they pay their way to Duke

[sly mulch]

Must be a great school

[boreal terrace]

My school except they pay their way into everywhere

[pallid timber]

😭😭

[sly mulch]

My school don’t got money people like that 😭

[boreal terrace]

Like aim for a school that’s a bit lower cmon

[sly mulch]

Yeah idk anyone like that

[forest zodiac]

same

[sly mulch]

Most people r either fgli or like regular middle class

[forest zodiac]

Ik people who donated and got rejected

[boreal terrace]

Damn

[forest zodiac]

noone who donated and got in

I’ve only seen egregious faculty kid results

[sly mulch]

How you gonna have money and still lose 😭😭

[pallid timber]

There’s a rumor at my school abt someone who donated over a million to Penn

[boreal terrace]

Damn

[forest zodiac]

I’ve heard something similar but it ends in a rejection

[sly mulch]

That’s just sad

[boreal terrace]

We’re basically a Chicago feeder but I think it’s cause of money idk

I don’t have that money lmao so

I don’t think I’ll get in

[forest zodiac]

Chicago feeder would be nice

My school’s prolly a cornell feeder

[pallid timber]

My school is Cornell feeder 😔

LOL

[sly mulch]

My school is a trade school feeder

[boreal terrace]

Yea it’s kind of random

[forest zodiac]

We had as many cornell students as students to our state school last year

[boreal terrace]

I wish we were a Georgetown feeder

Damn

[forest zodiac]

my school isn’t even in new york

[pallid timber]

Wtf

[sly mulch]

Cornell lamest Ivy

[boreal terrace]

We also have 6 Oxford offers this year when we had 0 the last five years 💀

[forest zodiac]

dartmouth*

by far

[boreal terrace]

My grade is just crazy which ups the pressure for everyone

Ugh

[sly mulch]

Atleast the name is cooler

[forest zodiac]

damn, we have 0 this year after like 3 last year

[pallid timber]

My grade is kinda bad this year but we’ve lucked out w college

[forest zodiac]

My grade has severely underperformed

[boreal terrace]

Half the reason I even did Chicago ED was cause everyone around me was getting into t20 in December and I wasn’t in the right head space

[forest zodiac]

my school had 50 t20 commits last year and it’s only been like 20 so far this year

[sly mulch]

Okay flex

[boreal terrace]

Damn

That’s still a lot

[pallid timber]

Private or public

[forest zodiac]

Not enough

public

[boreal terrace]

Do you guys do Instagram pages for your grade for college admissions

[pallid timber]

yea

[forest zodiac]

yes

[boreal terrace]

I’m excited for my post to go up lmao

[forest zodiac]

not everyone posts

[boreal terrace]

Hopefully soon

[pallid timber]

Me toooo

[forest zodiac]

I will not be posting

[pallid timber]

I have the baby picture picked out and everything

[forest zodiac]

cuz it would be awkward to have no comments

[boreal terrace]

Samee

[pallid timber]

Just not the college 💀

[boreal terrace]

I would just force my friends to comment

[pallid timber]

Everyone comments on every post for my school’s it’s cute

[forest zodiac]

my school has like 3-20 comments per post

[sly mulch]

I don’t think my schools page has gone up yet

[forest zodiac]

noone congratulates anyone they aren’t close with

[boreal terrace]

For last years seniors they were awful with commenting but my grade has been stellar with showing support so I’m not too worried

[pallid timber]

Oh 😭😭

[forest zodiac]

toxic school culture tbh

t20 feeders have a stupid amount of elitism ig

[boreal terrace]

If I don’t get into t20 tho I’m not posting 😭

[pallid timber]

My school’s known for being hella toxic too but we still get 40-50 average comments

[boreal terrace]

Yea same

[forest zodiac]

specialized school?

[sly mulch]

Which places are you waiting on other than ivies

[pallid timber]

Nope

Small student body asw

[boreal terrace]

The university advisors had to do a whole assembly on not questioning other people’s acceptances and learning to be happy for them 💀

[forest zodiac]

oh

[boreal terrace]

Georgetown and duke

[forest zodiac]

people are pretentious tho idk why they don’t show support

[pallid timber]

I would NOT be happy as a stuy or bxsci kid 😭😭😭

[forest zodiac]

that would not bode well here

especially when you know the nepo kids

[pallid timber]

Have not gotten a Duke interview yet 🥲

[boreal terrace]

Yea exactly

[boreal terrace]

[forest zodiac]

assistant dean of admissions’ kid got in with a 1300 sat to a school with an average sat > 1500
