Anyone heavily attached to UChicago?

<p>I’m applying to about 8 schools total. UofC is by far my first choice…and god only knows what I will be doing December 14th. Probably praying :stuck_out_tongue: but yeah, I love UofC and if you asked anyone who knows me, they’ll probably tell you that the obsession has no end. I went through my over-dramatic phase already, the whole, “Woe is me, I shall die without UofC” (Rhyming not intended XD) but yeah, I think I’ve matured a bit since then.</p>

<p>The only school that is rolling admissions, my State school safety, Penn State, accepted me to main campus last night. My mom told me, and I said, “What are we having for dinner?” Not to be mean to PSU, it’s a good school and all, but just not what I want. I guess I’m sorta happy that I’m guaranteed SOMEWHERE just in case the others fall through, but still…UofC is really really my dream. I think…I think if I got in, I don’t even know. I’d probably be the happiest person in the world. </p>

<p>But I think I kinda blew my chances this year. Grades are less than great, and I think I’m a, “On the fence” candidate, if you know what I mean. Sorta mediocre in all areas, but I think my personality, my passions and my essays will give me an extra boost.</p>

<p>Plus I’ve met some awesome people on here and we’ve already planned Scrabble tournaments and karoake nights (Which is probably a bad idea seeing as probably only 1/3 of us is going to actually be accepted)</p>

<p>But yeah. That’s my whole long sphiel. </p>

<p>Basically to be summed up:
I want to go to UofC and I’ll be very sad if I don’t get in. :[</p>
