<p>so I think this is why UChicago is UChicago-to give a surprise, a shock. this is sort of cool but I think I don’t appreciate that. Indeed I have almost evolved a habit of checking emails and checking threads in College Confidential, as many do. </p>
<p>I do feel that 15th will be the magic day. but I hope it will be earlier, yet I am afraid that they will release results earlier…</p>
<p>It will be between 4 and 5 pm. Also, I’m going to guess that it will be today or monday. They would nt send out decisions and then just leave the office.</p>
<p>Oh dear. It’s so crazy thinking that today, or any day soon, could be the day that we all find out our fates! I almost don’t want to know anymore. I’d almost rather just toy with the different possibilities for a while longer before I know my sealed fate. 
</p>
<p>Anyway, good luck to all!</p>
<p>o pray don’t tell “fates” it feels that my whole life will be determined~</p>
<p>motion, </p>
<p>I think I would send out decisions and just leave. I don’t want to be swamped with kids asking if there’s a glitch, or angry parents of kids who get rejected. Personally, I’d want to give all the people who want to call in a night to calm down. </p>
<p>So, you think it’s going to be a weekday? My friend is saying the 13th, but don’t the admissions people need to be in the office to release the decisions? or is it just pressing a button (like, on the computer)?</p>
<p>OK- it was monday the 15th last year. I’m going with this Monday (14th) around 3pm Chicago time. (judging by patterns)</p>
<p>That doesn’t correlate to anything katie. Having one piece of data cannot lead to any pattern whatsoever. Two years ago it was released on a Thursday, while last year it was released on a Monday (and they had more applicants two years ago). They also indicated that the office was closing at 3 PM on Tuesday, leading me to believe that it CANNOT be released on Tuesday as the date for release has been 4:00 P.M. (unless, since it probably is in central time, they release and then instantaneously leave, which I highly doubt) for the past 2 years. They would want to be in the office in case there were any technical errors or something else bizarre went wrong. Whatever, at least we have it down to two dates - today or Monday, and we’ll find out in an hour which is right (unless, of course, they throw a curveball and release it on Tuesday).</p>
<p>I think motion12345’s guess is more likely. in an hour! I cannot believe it! it’s midnight local time here yet I was made sleepless by your guess…</p>
<p>I hope it’s today.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be amazing if it was today? Then even if I got depressed I wouldn’t fail school the next day or something.</p>
<p>Is it today?</p>
<p>Yes…I think it should be today…because that gives me the weekend to recover from the instantaneous bout of depression I’ll no doubt feel when I see REJECTED :(</p>
<p>Also…my friends who applied to Penn ED supposedly found out about their apps today at 3. I’m jealous! I have to call them and ask how they did…</p>
<p>The one Penn ED kid from my school got in. </p>
<p>So, between 4 and 5 or at 4 or how does it work? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>That’s awesome, grats for him :)</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure…they’re certainly keeping us in the dark. All we can do for now is speculate…but that will just drive us insane (If we all aren’t already…) and I think that if I get deferred I will die, and that I’d rather just get flat-out rejected because the waiting game is killing me…</p>
<p>OMG I’m TOTALLY going to fail midterms. I can’t do anything!!! Please let it be today so I can stop spazzing even if I do get rejected or something.</p>
<p>Thankfully my midterms aren’t until the middle of January…but unfortunately…I have a college level WWII final the 17th and studying will most likely not be a priority for me.</p>
<p>well i cannot do anything either. I doubt if anyone can do something calmly and without thinking about UChiacgo.</p>
<p>I’m in the most depressed mood right now, it’s fairly ridiculous. So a rejection wouldn’t even impact me that much…</p>
<p>Please Chicago, be nice? Release them on a Friday?</p>
<p>Aww Zakuro…don’t be so down…Something that helps me in situations like this is what my mom used to say to me. “What’s meant to be will be. Que sera sera.” I know it doesn’t help much now, but really, in the end I think you’ll realize that wherever you end up is where you were meant to be in the first place.</p>
<p>@Litlhurry: so you mean the fate is determined beforehand?</p>
