<p>I didn’t fall head-over-heels for UChicago until this fall, and I applied EA and put all of my love for it into the essays and my interview, and I will be super, super disappointed if I am not accepted. Unfortunately, I’m trying to maintain a realistic perspective, especially since I’m a very much borderline candidate.</p>
<p>Regardless, I’ll be in a slump for the second part of December if I am not offered admission and I know that I need to get everything else done before the 15th arrives.</p>
