[gray lynx]

[hazy dawn]

idk

[gray lynx]

im just gonna take this w a grain of salt

[unique girder]

Idk

Did it pop up for you

[hazy dawn]

real

[unique girder]

What?

[sonic stirrup]

I'm an international Student, so getting into Uchicago is impossible, and there hasn't been anyone who has gotten in lately, possibly anyone in last 6 years, from my country. Considering that statistics, i think seeing admit.css in inspect basically doesn't symbolize anything.

[true pike]

Damn, where you from if you don’t mind sharing

Must be a small country

[jagged geode]

im intl full aid and i have it

also in small country

[sonic stirrup]

exactly

[sonic stirrup]

really small country

[true pike]

oh wow

Good luck

I got in last year from a relatively small country

There’s always a chance fr

[sonic stirrup]

is there a way to dm?

😭

[jagged geode]

mine is really small as well

one of the baltics xd

[sonic stirrup]

can u check dm?

[true pike]

Ayyy

Me too

[true pike]

Yah

@sonic stirrup I’ve added you

[jagged geode]

yoo

can you add me as well xddd

[true pike]

alr

[urban furnace]

Haven’t seen you around since everyone stopped talking on the UChicago class of 2029 server

[true pike]

Lowkey dipped

[urban furnace]

How’s life been?

[true pike]

I have 3 midterms due tomorrow

[urban furnace]

Yeah I got some research to lock in for 😞

Literally just dashed to the reg for these

[true pike]

I am not doing anything 🙏🙏 I’m excited to see decisions tomorrow

[urban furnace]

Do u relish the bloodbath of rejections?

[true pike]

It won’t be that bad, I think 80% of the people I know here are ED2

[urban furnace]

What were you

[true pike]

ED2

I rejoined the server today because I got reminded of this date

[urban furnace]

I watch the ED1 and EA release unfold in December here tho

[sonic stirrup]

how was the blood bath?

[true pike]

I don’t know a single individual from CO29 who got in EA

I genuinely think that acceptance rate has to be 2%

[urban furnace]

I think combined it was 60 applicants who answered the polls. 7 actually got in on the polls.

[true pike]

Cooked

Allat JUST to go to a school where one of the dorm buildings doesn’t have access to filtered drinkable water for a week already

[urban furnace]

Just don’t manifest ending up at that dorm

Which one is that

[true pike]

max p is lowkey the best though

idk why they ripped out our water dispenser

Max P East

[urban furnace]

Well I never complain I live in North

[true pike]

North sucks icl

[urban furnace]

In what way

[true pike]

12 minutes of walking just to get to your room is crazy

[urban furnace]

Max p is not cutting that time by a lot lol

[true pike]

Yes it is

[urban furnace]

I can get to max p from North in two minutes

[true pike]

no I mean from the door to your stupid elevators and through all the halls

[sonic stirrup]

do u use escooters?

[true pike]

people who use e scooters pmo

[urban furnace]

I’ve never used one

[true pike]

You better like walking if you come here

[urban furnace]

I walked to I house from North today it wasn’t fun

[true pike]

I get my 10K steps just going to and from my classes

[urban furnace]

And back

[urban furnace]

What if I’ve seen you around but just never knew who you were

What if ur in one of classes and i never knew 💀

[true pike]

nah I’d know if there’s a discordian in my class

My classes are all like 9-10 people

Wait I lwokey gotta go sleep I have a 9:30 tomorrow

Good luck to all the ED2 people

[jagged geode]

[odd fiber]

I’m going to bed as soon as I get home and then I’ll wake up to check my letter and then go back to sleep

[unique girder]

Im expecting a rejection but ill be quite devasted

[unique girder]

Does the email tell you your decision

[urban furnace]

[unique girder]

Im too afraid to even open that

[urban furnace]

[unique girder]

If you click the link is it instant as soon as you sign in

On the portal

[copper python]

[unique girder]

Or do you have to click view status

[copper python]

[urban furnace]

[unique girder]

Diabolical

[copper python]

yeah 😭

[unique girder]

My teeth are like chattering

[copper python]

listen to some music that you like

[unique girder]

If i get rejected ill associate that music with terror from now on lol

[copper python]

you've got to think of the acceptance

if all you can think of is the rejection then you're not going to get anywhere

[urban furnace]

12 ap

skl doesnt do weighted

[amber dust]

[urban furnace]

the people you expect to get into uchicago are multitudes higher than the maximum number of people they can accept so dont think too much over it

[delicate narwhal]

at least i got umich ea rn

[somber patio]

nah its game over for me

xd

my stats are way worse than evreyone here

😢

[delicate narwhal]

just be happy bro

[urban furnace]

did nobody even get deferred?

[tulip anvil]

uchicago is mostly essay based, my aunt went there for her masters

[somber patio]

i havent chedked yet

[delicate narwhal]

my essays were dog

[somber patio]

hopefvully I got deffered hahaha

[delicate narwhal]

[somber patio]

I thught my essays were good

[delicate narwhal]

uchicago*

[somber patio]

[delicate narwhal]

my parents forced me to ed2 here

so im not mad

[somber patio]

i dont haveperfect gpa tho

[somber patio]

[tulip anvil]

[amber dust]

[urban furnace]

i was home alone when i opened mine 💀

[true pike]

It was 3 am for me

[delicate narwhal]

i opened it in my car in a walgreens parking lot

💀

[somber patio]

dubbbbbs

[somber patio]

💀

my last hope is this bro

😢

[glacial stirrup]

whats the ed2 acceptance rate?

[urban furnace]

well you did apply ed2 so u probably really wanted this and had hope

[somber patio]

or its straight to community college fr

[true pike]

I lowkey had an insanely anticlimactic reaction to my decision

The balloon animation didn’t play so I thought I got rejected, and the whole page loaded vertically

[sonic stirrup]

7%

[amber dust]

I just hate it all

[urban furnace]

i had no hope whatsoever and since i applied rd i wasn't expecting anything so i didn't even call anyone to watch me open or anything

[somber patio]

6% acceptance rate rn

😭

[urban furnace]

in the meantime you can practice with a college decision simulator

[somber patio]

ye lol

i built my own

💀

it looks pretty real

[urban furnace]

you built ur own

[somber patio]

pretty peak

💀

but it doesnt really fit chicagos website

xd

ts lwk ahh 😭

[urban furnace]

oh oof but there is that one actual realistic one

[somber patio]

which on

[somber patio]

which ones this lol

cant send links

😢

[urban furnace]

dang

umm

just look up college admissions simulator

[somber patio]

lol i tired

but all of them are just

like calcualting ur chance

of getting in

thats why i made my own

💀

[urban furnace]

this one

just go 50/50 decision for uchicago

[grave ice]

That one was vibe coded and they kept advertising here

[gloomy cloak]

does anyone know how to view finaid offer ed2

[urban furnace]

should come shortly after

except i think shortly after for me last year was a full week

[gloomy cloak]

alright thanks

[weak hearth]

Am I cooked for other colleges or nah

Ivys and such

[urban furnace]

no

[waxen tinsel]

I wonder if anyone will get

Guaranteed transfer options ED2

[urban furnace]

these are all hard colleges the tiniest thing could make or break it

[pine temple]

im cooked 😂

[rough charm]

thats what i was thinking

[somber patio]

omg this is sooo cooked

[rough charm]

like why so many this year

[somber patio]

ahhhhhh

[waxen tinsel]

Probably has something to do with their financial situation

[somber patio]

anyone else get in?

[waxen tinsel]

Though frankly

I have zero clue

[rough charm]

yeah...

i feel like international students + financial situation

[somber patio]

wait so uchicago only takes like 1% of their clas from ed 2 or something lol right

only about 300?

[waxen tinsel]

Idk

Wait I’m lowkey still so proud of my UChicago essay

[urban furnace]

theres no way cuz half the people i meet are ed2 admits

[waxen tinsel]

That was the best supplemental essay I wrote

[rough charm]

u were right

probably money?

[urban furnace]

you did cook

[rough charm]

"Because institutional financial aid for transfer students is limited, if you did not apply for financial aid in your first-year application, you will not be eligible for institutional aid if you opt into this opportunity, though you would still be eligible to apply for federal or state aid. If you would like to change your financial aid interest to be eligible for institutional aid as a transfer student next year, you should submit a new application through the traditional transfer application process."

[somber patio]

just for transfer?

[waxen tinsel]

Oh wait that’s not what I had on my letter

It said I’d still be eligible for institutional aid

Not that I qualify

[rough charm]

yea provisional transfer

oh wait thats interesting

i didnt know people got different things

[waxen tinsel]

Eh im not thinking much about it tbh

[broken galleon]

uchicago is genuinely gonna have a 2 or 3% acceptance rate this year tf

😭

[gray citrus]

blood bath

[urban furnace]

we probably already have a lower acceptance rate than harvard

[gray citrus]

we got this in RD dont worry

[urban furnace]

i got it

so u got it

[gray citrus]

W W_licky

[urban furnace]

omg its toru

[gray citrus]

hehyyyyy

[urban furnace]

iconic

how many schools did u end up doing

[gray citrus]

155 or something

i got waitlisted from nyu my hopes are in the negatives rn

[urban furnace]

wtf insanity

💀

[gray citrus]

i guess, but it helped me get out of winter break depression by having stuff on my hands

[urban furnace]

idk that many college apps would have me more depressed

[somber patio]

did anyone get in

ojust 1 so far

[urban furnace]

i was depressed with just 16

[gray citrus]

post app depression is real, but i was having a fun time applying which is what mattered

[gray citrus]

did you ed anywhere

[urban furnace]

no

[gray citrus]

wow

you were right on the money W

[waxen tinsel]

Unless I get into Princeton, Stanford or MIT, my plan is just to go to Rutgers for a year and then UChicago

[gray citrus]

why

[waxen tinsel]

At this point I’m lowkey chilling

[waxen tinsel]

?

[urban furnace]

sounds like an ultra good elite plan

[somber patio]

ur uchicago 30 wdym

oh u got in?

[gray citrus]

why rutgers then uchicago

[waxen tinsel]

Provisional Transfer

[urban furnace]

he has guaranteed transfer

[gray citrus]

ohhh

gotcha

rutgers is great

[somber patio]

does uchicago

deffer?

or waitlist

in ed2

[waxen tinsel]

I’d still graduate class of 2030

[gray citrus]

damn really

[waxen tinsel]

But

[gray citrus]

thats good

[waxen tinsel]

First year

I’d be at rutgers

Which I’m actually fine with because the math faculty at Rutgers is better aligned with my current research

[gray citrus]

rutgers is great youre gonna have a fun time

[waxen tinsel]

I’m planning to start transitioning from combinatorics & algebraic graph theory to something in analysis during undergraduate though

[urban furnace]

yea well see you in 2027

[waxen tinsel]

Just cause I find it more interesting

[somber patio]

does uc defer or waitlist? im cufious

[gray citrus]

waitist

[waxen tinsel]

Who knows, maybe I’ll get a

Offer for 2026

It happens sometimes

[somber patio]

for ed2?

[waxen tinsel]

I lowkey still need to send in a letter of continued interest

[gray citrus]

uc schools doesnt have ed2

help i wrote my spurious correlation essay about purdue football losing every time taylor swift drops an album 😭

[urban furnace]

lmaoooo

[waxen tinsel]

😭

[urban furnace]

you cooked

[waxen tinsel]

I wish other colleges setup their supplemental essays like uchicago

Not even just the prompts

Just the fact you submit a pdf not just text

[somber patio]

BRo

[urban furnace]

you took full advnatage of the pdf thing fr

[somber patio]

MY

FRIEND GOT IN

AND HE WRONG ABOUT Taylor Swift TO

for ed1

taylor swift

i mean

also i just got rejecteed ut out of state

no way im geetting chicago lwk

😭

[waxen tinsel]

UChicago’s admissions faculty must be swifities

[urban furnace]

i also got rejected by ut out of state and i got into uchicago rd so that is now a moot point

[somber patio]

HOLY

ok true

dubs

but i didnt do vid

idk why

driving back home know

probally gonna crash 5 poeple bro

[waxen tinsel]

I don’t think @urban furnace did vid

I might be wrong tho

[somber patio]

actually?

[urban furnace]

i didn't do a video either and still got into uchicago rd so ur point is rendered even more moot

[somber patio]

please tell me that lol

OMGGG

okokokok

[waxen tinsel]

Lmao

[somber patio]

ill let u guys know!

[waxen tinsel]

My memory is spot on

I lowkey wish I could just take a gap year instead of going to Rutgers then UChicago

[urban furnace]

do u think there are credits you could get at rutgers that transfer to uchicago?

[waxen tinsel]

Some of them will, some of them won’t

I actually know someone who went to Rutgers than transferred to UChicago

So I still need to talk to them a bit more about their experience

[merry jungle]

Good luck @somber patio

[waxen tinsel]

But I would have preferred to spend all 4 years at UChicago in order to take Honors Analysis as a freshman

[unique girder]

Rejected

[urban furnace]

honors analysis or would u rather ibl

[waxen tinsel]

Which is ibl

[urban furnace]

ive heard its honors but harder you basically "discover" proofs instead of being taught them directly

[waxen tinsel]

Oh wait I think I know what your talking about

[urban furnace]

inquiry based learning

theres also inquiry based learning for intro to bio that is only labs and no exams if i remember correctly

[waxen tinsel]

I’d have to look into the curriculum

Either way I would have wanted to take one of them freshman year

[urban furnace]

oh yeah it might be messy kind of having to take huma and sosc at the same time

[waxen tinsel]

I could technically take them sophomore year but if I take a somewhat similar course at Rutgers it just might not be worth it

[trail parcel]

Do you know about the transfer process? Im very down to do this

[waxen tinsel]

Might make more sense to take a course in topology

[waxen tinsel]

It’s one of the admission offers

It’s not something you opt for

It’s just an option your given

Similar to an

Acceptance, rejection, waitlist, etc

[urban furnace]

guaranteed transfer

[trail parcel]

Oh I see

[urban furnace]

otherwise you have to apply as a transfer student normally

[trail parcel]

Yeah I thought this was what they meant

[rough charm]

wait ru sending one for uchicago

i still havent sent it..

and ru just emailing them

[oak mantle]

Any provisionals,

[meager arch]

Congrats to everyone who got in! If you have any questions abt this school lmk :)

[jagged geode]

2 people xd

[meager arch]

ooh that’s rough

[somber patio]

bouta check in a few minutes

[glacial stirrup]

did anyone get a transfer option?

[somber patio]

thx!

[copper python]

gl bro

you've got this

trust

[trail parcel]

What is the approximate acceptance rate for EDII?

Are stats ever released?

[tough cape]

i dont think so

[trail parcel]

Oof rough

[unique girder]

when i become president in 30 years Ill sue uchicago into the ground

I will destroy the institution and its name

[waxen tinsel]

I got the offer ED1

[solid iris]

howd it go guys

[trail parcel]

You can always do transfer :)?

Im considering just doing ED1 next cycle

EDII was a mistake

[somber patio]

Rejected 😢

[oak mantle]

I mean if you have a clear #1/#2, edI AND edII is not a bad strat

[unique girder]

I will never transfer

Uchicago needs to be taught a lesson for its dubious legacy practices and that lesson will come with a 90% endowment tax and federal investigation

Just you wait

Revenge is a dish best served cold

[copper python]

when they're interviewing you at a press conference they'll be like "and why are you taking such measures against the university of chicago?" and you'll say "they rejected me ed2. i pledged to never forget it."

[unique girder]

I will do this

I will unacreditate them

[waxen solar]

LOLLL

[unique girder]

rereading the rejection letter its so shit

uvas was so heartfelt

soulless monsters

I will actually make my lifes mission to destroy uchicago

[oak mantle]

Did he…

[quaint pawn]

uva acc made me feel like I was worth something

[oak mantle]

leave the server?

[copper python]

in 30 years i will be waiting to see

[copper python]

wait what 😭

actually unreal

[somber patio]

porb banned

prob

[copper python]

oh rip

[somber patio]

he was kinda sayng crazy things lol

welp i got touched aswell that rejecetion kinda hurt

😭

first real app decision tbh

[copper python]

idk it didn't seem that crazy to me 😭

[somber patio]

[sonic stirrup]

Well, CONGRATS BRO!

[lusty trail]

thanks! you got it too

[urban furnace]

CONGRATS

[meager arch]

congrats to the people accepted!

[meager arch]

we’re thawing out now :)

[lusty trail]

is it that bad 💀 im scared

[gray lynx]

Can’t wait

[lusty trail]

ay!! congrats on the accpetance twin

[copper python]

nerd final boss :(

[urban furnace]

girl u belong at uchicago fr

[lusty trail]

is it true that uchicago decreases aid per year after you get in?

[quaint pawn]

are you a recursive function because i want to keep calling you ;)

[copper python]

thank you lol

[meager arch]

no

[meager arch]

no, but you re apply for aid each year so it can change

[urban furnace]

Can’t be that bad unless your family wins the lottery

[gray lynx]

hi name twin school twin

[lusty trail]

Is it true that you only take 3-4 classes per quarter

[copper python]

yes

[oak mantle]

Only?

[urban furnace]

Only???? These classes are deadly

I need 30 hours a day to do all this work

[copper python]

yeah the thing is you're taking an entire class in 9 weeks, so they're cramming in everything

[lusty trail]

the financial aid came out and its a lot more than the net price calculator indicated 😢

[plain marten]

it doesn't sound bad until you realize that most classes cram a semester's worth of content at another school into 9 weeks

also other than winter/spring break and thanksgiving there's not much breaks during the school year lol

[lusty trail]

oh damn

[oak mantle]

that's what i'm saying

how is 3-4 classes in 10 weeks NOT devious?

[plain marten]

to be fair some classes can be very lax if you choose strategically

[lusty trail]

but if you think about it, 1 semester is 20 weeks for 8 classes so youu divide by 2 so it should be the same

[plain marten]

and professors as well

[lusty trail]

how ahrd is med, econ, math in terms of course load

[plain marten]

idk what you mean by med courses (do you mean the pre-med courses in bio/chem/physics)

[lusty trail]

yes

[plain marten]

econ I haven't taken but from the people I've talked to who took like the intro classes its infamous for not being the nicest with grades

math it depends on what you choose imo

[gray lynx]

is fiji strict w party entry

[plain marten]

honors calculus IBL > honors calculus > 180s >= 150s

[plain marten]

i haven't tried getting into any of the frat parties so idk

for girls it should be pretty easy

[gray lynx]

is it common to go to frats tho

[plain marten]

it really depends on your friend group imo? there's people whose entire social life are surrounding the frats and then there's people who have never been inside one

although i think that there tends to be less frat-involved people but that might just be me

there's enough parties of other sorts hosted by RSOs/within friend groups that I don't need to worry about going to frats, for me personally

[oak mantle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ishowspeed-meme

[plain marten]

iirc semesters are usually like 15-17 weeks

at other colleges

[lusty trail]

damn whats a yearly schedule? when do we start and end school

[gray lynx]

my brother is a member

im a gay male

[lusty trail]

your family is smart

[gray lynx]

2nd

[gray lynx]

😭

[lusty trail]

i see ppl with crazy research, internships, etc getting rejected and it feels weird that i got in over those ppl

[gray lynx]

same like im not that cracked

i had no research

[lusty trail]

whats your opnion on business econ

[gray lynx]

1 award

[lusty trail]

r u from a rural state

[gray lynx]

no urban and east coast 💀

[lusty trail]

nah you're him

[lusty trail]

im from a rural state, fgli. i feel like my supps were good but i changed my personal the day before i turned it in 💀

[gray lynx]

ty ty

[gray lynx]

ur cracked twin

[lusty trail]

i dont want to be too prestige focused but i still cant process it for some reason. like to be able to attend such a great university and be comparable to yale, pton, harvard kids. imposter syndrome goes crazy

[gray lynx]

ikkk so crazy scary but amazing

im still shocked me and my best friend both got in

[lusty trail]

congrats to both of yall !

[gray lynx]

thank uuuu

[plain marten]

for uchicago its end of sept - dec and very early jan - mid-march, mid-march to end of may

uchicago starts really really late even for a quarter school

[lusty trail]

late sept is crazy

[lusty trail]

my parents are worried that the surrounding is dangerous. its not too bad right?

[lusty trail]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-speed-stream-ishowspeed-stream-speed-nod-gif-1082323842437565509

what that mean

[plain marten]

the campus itself is prob one of the safest places in all of chicago, the university has a sizeable police force as well

but like going south past 63rd or taking the red line alone at night is not gonna be the best idea

[urban furnace]

It means we get a September term, extra long summer, time for other things like a vacation even after a long summer internship

[gray lynx]

is it ok to take the red line during the day

[plain marten]

in my opinion yes but like this can vary between people

for most people so long as you take public transportation with a group of people you're fine

there's some people who would also never dare step foot on a CTA train and uber everywhere

[lusty trail]

I def won't be going in the night time so I think its not too bad. How close is chinatown

[plain marten]

40 mins on the red line + bus

[gray lynx]

i see, ty

does uchi have a shuttle to downtown

[lusty trail]

So i can go on a vacation from may to July and still be able to do the course placements ?

[gray lynx]

or like nearby stores not accesible by public transit

[plain marten]

only on the weekends lol, but there are bus routes that run express to the loop as well if you take like a 15-20min walk

depending on which part of campus you're on

[plain marten]

there's a target and whole foods in walking distance

and 53rd street has a lot of places to eat

[gray lynx]

ooo ok perf

[lusty trail]

The other uchicago person is scaring me with the econ question 💀 is it that bad

[plain marten]

there's a uchicago rideshare service that is offered for free between 5pm - 4am as well so

[plain marten]

bizcon specifically?

[lusty trail]

Yea

[plain marten]

it is what it is, idk what else to say

it has a reputation for being one of the easiest majors possible here

[lusty trail]

What does that mean 💀 is it stigmatized

[plain marten]

and yes there is a stigma to that but at the end of the day it doesn't matter

[lusty trail]

Yea i ask u/chicago and they said course load is easy

[plain marten]

yep it has a very easy course load

[lusty trail]

But econ is much harder right

[plain marten]

compared to bizcon? yeah

[lusty trail]

I see

[plain marten]

also disclaimer that its like ~20 min by car

[lusty trail]

Doesn't that go against uchicagos reputation of a rigor achedamic💀

Like what specifically makes it so easy

[plain marten]

as a major bizcon has been somewhat controversial among people at the university for being pre-professional

[plain marten]

you don't need to take any of the harder courses in the econ department

booth courses are said to be easy

[lusty trail]

Oh like it prepare you for post undergrad employment?

Like it doesn't dig into the theoretical stuff?

[plain marten]

from what i've seen people take bizcon so they can focus on preparing for recruiting for investment banking or related finance/consulting fields

since that is relatively time consuming

[lusty trail]

Are you in bizcon?

[plain marten]

no i plan on taking regular econ

[lusty trail]

That does make sense tbh

Gives you more time for recruiting and stuff

[oak mantle]

Iirc bizcon is specifically for if you want to do IB or consulting. It seems to be the equivalent of “general” econ degrees at other schools, which are far less theory and math intensive

Whereas UChi econ reg track is closer to a “math econ” track

[plain marten]

i'd argue that bizcon is practically just a business degree at any other peer institution

and for regular econ honestly all the math you need is like multivariable calculus which isn't that much

[oak mantle]

Other peer institutions don’t offer business degrees, and as such those students take econ, but in a specifically less theory/mathy way

But yeah

More or less

[plain marten]

yeah

i feel like most schools around the t20 range do have undergrad business degrees though

[gray lynx]

well only penn, cornell, rice, washu, berk, umich

6/20 = 30%

the tippy top usually only have econ

[plain marten]

hm i might be wrong then idk

[urban furnace]

Chicago weather so lit 🔥 🔥

[lusty trail]

If yall only take 4 classes per quarter, do we only have 2 classes on mwf and 2 on Tuesday thursday

[plain marten]

that's what I do, but it's also possible to schedule like four on tue/thu

if you're crazy enough

[gray lynx]

what about 1 class per day except friday

[urban furnace]

there's like zero chance of that happening

[urban furnace]

depends on how you schedule most classes will be mwf or tr or mw
you also have to keep in mind there are labs and discussion sessions for some classes
like my art history class is tuesday and thursday but with a discussion on monday

"only" 4 classes.. when u actually experience uchicago, 4 classes can become a nightmare i had to drop a class last quarter to survive

remember the quarter system theres more stuffed into each class than at a school with a semester system

[plain marten]

most classes are like either tue/thu or mon/wed/fri or mon/wed

plus there's like discussion sections and labs

[gray lynx]

when will my package come

i want my hat

[urban furnace]

a while

[lusty trail]

sorry i didnt mean for it too come off that way. my hs also schedules clases like MWF and TR or MW and going from 10 --> 3-4 felt like a lot less😅

on dayds with no classes, do you jsut study and stuff? like is there evry a day where you can not sutdy and just chill

[urban furnace]

some people do i dont

i mean i dont have a day without classes except weekends

free time gets filled with study anyway

[gray lynx]

noooo 😭

[meager arch]

wait you’re also going to uchicago named noah?

[plain marten]

the vast majority of people i know have a class every day, it's pretty rare to have a day with no classes

[gray lynx]

yes

[lusty trail]

is the food good

[plain marten]

its fine

i'm international so like to me the food everywhere sorta sucks

[lusty trail]

i see. licky said first years get free food, does that include fast food restaurants on campus etc

[plain marten]

maybe that's for people who are here on a full ride, and I'm assuming that it's limited to dining halls and the places affiliated to it

because for me it's def not free

[lusty trail]

oh dang

[gray lynx]

for admitted students open house / move-in should i stay at "the study"

like the hotel

[lusty trail]

what good fast food is on campus? i heard mcds isnt there

[gray lynx]

what is this actually whats in the dining halls

[urban furnace]

Unlimited meal plan means you can go to the dining hall as much as you want it’s default for all first years

[meager arch]

that’s so sick, i know like 10 noah’s here lmao

you will be given an adjective by this one guy and that is the noah that you will be

im blue noah

[waxen tinsel]

@urban furnace 2027 couldn’t come any sooner

[meager arch]

not really any fast food on on campus in regards to traditional fast food chains, but there’s several on campus restaurants and fast food sort of things but it’s a bit healthier

then there’s a chick fil a in hyde park as well as plenty of other chains

[meager arch]

these are the restaurants at hutchinson

[meager arch]

it includes meal exchanges with several on campus restaurants including all those at hutch as well as a bunch of others

also it’s not free, it’s part of the meal plan, which is required for on campus people

[gray lynx]

blue is my fav color

[gray lynx]

who is this guy

[gray lynx]

are they included in the meal plan?? they look bomb

[meager arch]

i’d offer blue to you but i had no say in my adjective

[meager arch]

second year named marcus, knows a lot of people and apparently a lot of the noah’s

[meager arch]

yes, i can’t remember the exact amount but you get a certain number of free meal exchanges per quarter on the normal meal plan

[gray lynx]

cant wait to find out what my color is

[plain marten]

oh this is what you meant by free

well yeah ig it's free if you ignore the sunken cost of purchasing the required meal plan lmao

[urban furnace]

To walk in for a single cookie and walk out with no concern for using up meal swipes

[plain marten]

i do that all the time except for drinks lmao

also fourth meal is pretty nice if i want a snack

[lusty trail]

u can buy like meal plans for 3 swipes per day to get it cheaper and stuff? my sister does that for another school. like there is different meal plans

[plain marten]

as a first year you're required to get the unlimited one

[urban furnace]

Its default

You choose meal plans starting second year

[lusty trail]

but its not free tho right? i thought yall meant uchicago gave free unlimited meal plans for all first years 💀

[plain marten]

if only hahaha

[lusty trail]

that sounded too good to be true

[plain marten]

although i think some aid packages covers food and stuff

not too sure about that

@urban furnace do you have to pay for meal plan

[urban furnace]

No

[plain marten]

dang

[lusty trail]

do you have any advice for appealing aid? uchicago gave way less than expected so my family has to pay 30k instead of the 8k thaat was supposedly on the net price

[plain marten]

ask licky

[urban furnace]

Don’t ask me lol

Uchicago just gave me a full ride

[plain marten]

i'm not really the most familiar with aid since i'm international and getting in with aid for intl is even harder than it already is lol

[lusty trail]

oh u were full pay?

[plain marten]

yeah, uchicago is need aware for international

[lusty trail]

would youu say uchicago is worth the price

[plain marten]

my parents have been saving up for my college for like 8 years or something so I honestly don't know how to answer that question

[lusty trail]

oh thats nice

[plain marten]

but personally I don't think I would've went to anywhere else even if I had the option

[lusty trail]

like over harvard, yale, stanford?

[plain marten]

maybe

[lusty trail]

i think it depends on major too but idk anything about harvard beisdes the aura that comes wit it 💀 idk if that mad any sense

[plain marten]

i understand

[lusty trail]

like i would be going just for the name, nothing else. uchicago is great but there aare specific reaons that makes it great

[gray lynx]

uchicago econ > anywhere else

[plain marten]

through uchicago I've been able to watch a pre-screening of an a24 film for free, visit many museums for free, watch cso performances at a heavily discounted price and went to a broadway play with a q&a with the play's director after

so like at least for me i think there's some opportunities here that wouldn't have been possible elsewhere

[lusty trail]

true

[plain marten]

and yes

[lusty trail]

would you say uchicago is comparable to harvard, yale, princeton, stanford?

[lusty trail]

yea im from a rural city so i wanted to explore that big city life

[lusty trail]

for econ *

[plain marten]

for sure yes

[lusty trail]

what about overall

[plain marten]

it sorta depends on your major and your priorities

[lusty trail]

yea uchicago engineering is cooked

[plain marten]

coming here for engineering is not the best idea lol

[lusty trail]

yea

but if i hypothetically got into yale, i would still have to deeply consider. like at that point you have to loook at other factors since the difference is negligible

big city vs small city

[gray lynx]

werent u an ed2 admit
