[dire lantern]

Omg maybe…

I want to minor in western history/American studies

I would double major but the course work at Chicago is so rigorous I might die

[unborn lintel]

ive heard its easier to double major at uchicago cuz of the quarter system

[dapper sandal]

northwestern is better anyways

[nova ridge]

Nah I actually can’t believe I’m gonna be in Chicago I love Chicago

[supple warren]

When are they sending out emails

[hushed smelt]

Rejected

[boreal terrace]

Honestly I was forcing myself to like Chicago wayyy to much

😭

I’m sad but then again I’m also a bit relieved

[dapper sandal]

tbh there's like basically no difference between ea results and ed2 😭

[boreal terrace]

Lmao

[dapper sandal]

im guessing most ppl that got deferred prob rejected

[boreal terrace]

I need to email my UA now that I didn’t get in 💀💀💀

Given my schools good record with Chicago this is socially very embarrassing

But in the long run it’s the best outcome for me lol

I also get to follow the school of foreign service on insta again

Anyhow it was great chatting with you all you guys are such amazing and talented people

[dapper sandal]

i jus wonder if the other person that applied to my school ed2 got in or not

[nova ridge]

The acceptance package

[hushed smelt]

Dear Lucas,

The Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application to the University of Chicago. After much consideration, I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place in the Class of 2029. The applications we have received this year have been among the strongest in the University’s history; in light of this, we were unable to offer admission to every worthy applicant.

I recognize that this message may come as a disappointment to you. Nevertheless, I encourage you to make your future educational plans with the same enthusiasm and initiative that led you to consider us.

We appreciate the interest you have shown in the University of Chicago. Best wishes as you pursue your educational goals.

Sincerely,

James G. Nondorf
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid

[boreal terrace]

Yeaaa

You should be

[nova ridge]

I’m having insane imposter syndrome ngl

[boreal terrace]

But UChicago only accepts you if they know you’ll do fine and if they know you belong there

[nova ridge]

I went test optional, and did both my essays within 1.5 hours without editing, had my counselor look at it and say it was mediocre

I was salty and still submitted

[atomic root]

[boreal terrace]

My friend got into SFS and wrote his essay an hour before the deadline

[hushed smelt]

I got a signed book by the economics professor

samee

intr student

i jus woke up n checked

i didnt think i woulld get in ngl

is there any u chicago group for students that got in??

prolly jus gonna chill for the rest of the school year ngl

[jaunty wave]

do you have to go through national leaving exams?

cause theoretically if you dont have to, you can just retain your grades without rlly doing anything so u can just chill

[dire lantern]

Eughh how long is it gonna take for uchicago to process fafsa’s 🥲

I need my financial aid packet cause idk if I can afford it and if i can’t I won’t go ☹️

The calcular said it’s only be $8k a year but idk how accurate it’ll be

[nova ridge]

has anyone whos committed had trouble creating their CNetID?

@mortal sierra were you able to make yours as soon as you paid the deposit?

[mortal sierra]

Hey! You get your code after a few days (2-3ish) from what I recall. It states: “There’s an update to your portal” via email, and there you’ll see instructions to create it.

@nova ridge

[nova ridge]

I’ve actually gotten that letter and my Id, it’s just telling me it’s unable to find my account anytime I try signing into it. They did say it may take 24 hours for it to enter the system though, so I’ll wait a little more

[mortal sierra]

@nova ridge Yep, you’re good

[nova ridge]

24 hours and 10 minutes have passed and i still cant get in 😢

[merry karma]

is it fine if i withdraw my apps very shortly after making the deposit

[jaunty wave]

my friend withdrew them right after getting the decision

but just do it once uve secured ur place

[merry karma]

anyone get a status update related to financial aid

[dire lantern]

Nope

But i got an email saying i needed to send some tax forms I must’ve forgotten

[dire lantern]

I believe if you completed submitting all the financial aid documents uchicago says they will send your financial aid package late February

[merry karma]

they still dont have fafsa

they sent me a "financial aid" notification with my estimated total cost of attendance

idk if that is just the base cost before aid? it's nowhere near the financial aid calculation i did with their calculator

the real financial aid comes in spring so idk what to make of this letter lol

[shell sentinel]

guys, uchi allows students to verify their SAT scores through counsellors sending score reports right?

[flat kernel]

if you did the CSS profile or IDOC its based on that

[flat kernel]

financial aid calculators arent super accurate

[merry karma]

i filled out a worksheet for them but they do not accept idoc or css

[civic holly]

yea

[finite furnace]

guys

There’s this girl from Shanghai

She received the rejection letter from uchi but her parent got a congratulation email

And it turns out she’s actually admitted

ED2 this year

Imagine if she didn’t leave a parent contact info

😬

[civic holly]

thatsss crazy

[civic holly]

fr

[lilac nacelle]

wait what if that’s me .

😭🙏

😹😹😹 i’m coping

[merry karma]

probably been asked here before but is there an admitted students or general discord server for uchicago

[vital tide]

What should my friend do if he paid an enrollment deposit to another school because he didn’t know that uchicago ed was binding 😭

[stark robin]

i thought everyone on planet earth knew ed was binding

[grizzled pollen]

i dont htink thats a big deal other than losing your deposit

[kind maple]

If he actually enrolled somewhere else already, his school is probably gonna be black listed

[vital tide]

Lmao there’s a kid who applied rd too 😭

Okay I’ll let him know

[merry karma]

did you get into your email by any chance

im basically in the same situation

[nova ridge]

Yep

Just waited ~2 days from when I paid the deposit and got the Cnet email

[merry karma]

i set it up but it's just saying that it doesnt exist or not synchronized when i try to access the email on outlook

everything else works tho

[nova ridge]

Did 3 hours pass since you first set it up

[merry karma]

no i will wait some time i just wanted to know if i had to do anything else

[nova ridge]

The email activated after about 3 hours for me

[nimble delta]

Hi! could someone invite me to the admitted student server, i got admitted ED2

[wooden nexus]

is this normal

[merry karma]

yes

[nova ridge]

When do international students usually receive the forms for the Visa and such?

[fading charm]

😶‍🌫️

[dire lantern]

Hey how do you guys pay the $500 enrollment fee

[fast wing]

[stark robin]

lmao

[digital geode]

wait holy shit ganag

i think i forgot to submit my SAT score to uchicago...

cuz wait i submitted it on common app

but in the applciant portal it still says optional

i dont know if it was submitted cuz in my applicant portal it still said optional but i said i wanted it to be includded in my applicaton to uchicago in common app

[pallid timber]

Oh whoops I didn’t do that either

[pallid timber]

Hopefully it’ll be fine then

[light obsidian]

hi

[merry karma]

🙂

[placid plaza]

I also realize I did this

Apparently it's ok?

idk

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/rhwoxh/i_forgot_to_submit_1550_to_uchicago/

[digital geode]

brooo i also had a 1550

that i didnt submit

[digital geode]

hoepfully

[placid plaza]

never mind, here's more concrete evidence

[placid plaza]

You can submit through common app, phew

if you put it on the common app it just doesn't show up

it's "suppressed"

because AO's don't want to look at it unless you've checked the box

https://membersupport.commonapp.org/s/article/Testing-page-will-be-blank-1380

[digital geode]

Oh thank Jesus Christ himself

[placid plaza]

yeah I was gonna say

[digital geode]

I have a 1550 and a 3.7 so if I don’t submit I’m cooked

[placid plaza]

since I remember reading a bit that said "your sat scores aren't gonna be on the preview btw lmao"

[placid plaza]

That's a relief that your scores will show up tho

[digital geode]

omg tysm for telling me abt this i can relax in peace now

[placid plaza]

yeah np, I was lowkey stressing about this too 💀

[digital geode]

we cant have been the only ones this year...

[digital geode]

wait was there a green checkmark next to your score

cuz i submitted mine through common app but there was no green checkmark next to it in the pportal

[cunning star]

HUH

I didn’t even realize

Did we have to suit thru portal

[digital geode]

i have no idea

bcuz on my common app it says submtited

but there was no green checkmark in my portal

im gonna email my college counselor rn

[placid plaza]

It doesn't matter if you submit it through the portal or not, if you self-reported it in the testing section of the common app then it's sent in and you don't have to worry about it

[placid plaza]

In this bit of the FAQ it says that you can submit it through any of these ways, not through all of them

So if you do it through the common app and not through the portal then you're fine

[digital geode]

ohh thankg osh

[placid plaza]

at least that's what it says in the uchicago website

if you submit it through the portal then that's "through [your] uchicago account"

so I think you should be alright

[digital geode]

i hope so

i just emailed my college counselro

[placid plaza]

Lmk how they respond lol, I'm stressing about this hard rn 😭

[digital geode]

SAME

but lowkey we CANNOT be the only ones

like if they didnt get it there would be a bajillion applicants crying to uchicaog

[placid plaza]

Also like

that would just be redundant

To ask for the SAT score twice

either way it's too late now lol

just pray for the next four days

[digital geode]

yes we must pray

but @placid plaza there wasnt a green checkmark next to urs right

[placid plaza]

I just filled it out rn, so this is what it looks like

but before there wasn't one, no

[digital geode]

yeah same here

ill let you know what my college counselor says tmrw

[placid plaza]

we should be fine

[placid plaza]

it literally says you don't have use the portal on the faq

[hazy iris]

do you guys know around what time on march 14th? thanks!

[dire lantern]

Most likely 4:45 est

I’m pretty sure that’s when ea/ed i came out and that’s when I got my ed ii decision

[hazy iris]

okay, thanks so much

[placid plaza]

Did you end up getting an answer?

[alpine tulip]

guys i feel so scared for rd

isnt the chance really low

[lilac nacelle]

ain’t it 1%

[dire lantern]

I believe the regular decision acceptance rate is 1-2%

But honestly don’t beat yourself too hard about it

[knotty rampart]

I heard somewhere it's 0.5%

Idk if true

[digital geode]

is uchicago the only school in the world that does ed0

[lilac nacelle]

i think there r some other niche cases

[digital geode]

when my friend told me abt ed0 uchicago i started laughing cuz i thought it was a prank

[lilac nacelle]

but def not on uchi scale

they r p2w now

sometimes im glad i didnt get uchi ed

[terse dagger]

guys I just realized I submitted my loci like 3 days late am I fucked

[lilac nacelle]

no

[terse dagger]

I also submitted it in the “letter of continued interest” form on the thingy instead of in the portfolio which is where the ea decision said to

bro why am I so stupid

AND in the LOCI I said thank you for waitlisting instead of deferring I stg it’s just not meant to be 🥲

[merry karma]

what is the letter of continued interest form

[real coyote]

its ok bro

i did the exact same thing

and sent it to the ao

they called me the wrong name on the email back

cannot possibly be as bad as that

[paper atlas]

LMFAOOOOOOO

[subtle scarab]

hi lemon

[terse dagger]

goodbye 😭

[digital geode]

yeah she said shes not sure

"As for your question about UChicago and SAT scores, I am not sure. It is hard to tell from the screenshots you have shared whether or not they have received your scores as self-report and/or are using them in your application. That said, now is the time for patience (I know that is hard!) and faith. You have great options already -- just waiting will also yield other great options for you. Remember, you can only attend one school!"

[alpine tulip]

I hope i get in

this p2p bs pmo icl

[stark robin]

real

[placid plaza]

oh well

Yeah we only have to wait two more days

I'm pretty sure they should have our score though

since it literally says they take it in the faq

[digital geode]

yeah prob

[digital geode]

i think uchicago is one of the only reaches where someone with more subpar gpa/testscores can get in since they really value ecs and essays

looking at the cds

[dire lantern]

Mfw when I got a 1050 on my sat…

After taking it 3 times and studying…

[slender tusk]

has anhyone calculated what time uchicago is gonna release

[open bane]

it came out around 5 est for ed/ea

[formal sonnet]

Yeah

[dire lantern]

It’s 4:45 est

[idle quartz]

Hello friends!
As a college freshman, I just wanted to drop in and wish you all the best of luck tomorrow and to remind you to always keep your chin up 😉
UChic was my dream school last year, and I put my heart into applying early decision—I even made a statistical analysis model predicting the decision release date.! It didn't turn out how I expected, but I ended up at Cornell. Life works out.

Anyway, wishing you all the best!

[paper atlas]

so 2pm pst..

exciting

[tranquil crag]

wait YOU were the statistical model person??? omg i remember hearing abt it somewhere awhile back
glad things ended up working out

[idle quartz]

BWAHA glad I am remembered 🙏

Wait this might sound really stupid but what does waitlist mean…. Like I know it means you weren’t accepted but like can you attend next year or?

[near trellis]

Cmu is out wtf

i mean

uchicago

i just opened cmu one minute ago

[open coral]

It means you can see if a spot opens up

[paper atlas]

ill check it with mit

[south viper]

They might contact you in April-May if a spot opens

[formal ingot]

basically theres a super slim chance they admit you later if they still have a few spots to fill

[slender tusk]

I'm going away for like 30 mins dm me if anyone asks anything

[dire lantern]

Ohhh

[knotty fjord]

is cmu out?

[south viper]

Sometimes they also have the option to takr a committed gap year

[open coral]

Vote on the poll!

[paper atlas]

goodluck gang

[storm mango]

Supposed to be in 10m

[formal ingot]

its releasing in waves i believe, so it may not be out for everyone yet

[placid plaza]

[dire lantern]

But are the spots for waitlisted people are very limited ?

[knotty fjord]

so if its not out im rejected??

[fluid mist]

that’s why the poll is all acceptwnces

[fluid mist]

idk

the opposite

if you got a letter you’re in

[onyx forge]

does uchicago waitlist a lot?

[civic holly]

[nimble basalt]

[gilded berry]

[dire lantern]

Are the waitlist spots very limited?

[near trellis]

[austere canyon]

[digital geode]
