<p>Gurlshoot…No hard feelings or anything, but I don’t think I’m quite ready for this step in our relationship yet. Let’s just be friends? (It’s not me, it’s you.)</p>
<p>According to the be-all-end-all of the geographic realm (MapQuest), the hut in which I currently reside is located 2.25 hours from Aston. Fall right smack dab in the center of PA, and head south. If you’ve hit any sort of liberal views, diversity, quality education, or Maryland, you’ve gone too far. Though, to be honest, it might not be worth it to turn around.</p>
<p>That’s not what you were saying last night…<em>Cough</em> Just kidding, ofcourse While the relationship roleplay has been vastly entertaining, I think we should skip the semantics and get down to business!</p>
<p>*Has faint nostalgia of visiting Chicago in which her taxi driver was wearing a fedora and played “Taking Care of Business” as they drove into the city." ~_~</p>
<p>Anywho…I stay away from Maryland…except when I have a hankering for crabs xD </p>
<p>I know, Neo! I’m sooo nervous…dreading…anticipation…anxiety…frustration…procrastination…Anywho, back to writing my essay @_@</p>
<p>I guess I should probably turn my “Yeahhh I’m going to write to prompt #5…I think…” into “Wham bam thank you ma’am, I be doneskies with Chicago essayz, foo!” eh?</p>
<p>Hi I’m Ruth, I’m from the suburbs west of Chicago, I’m applying EA as well!
I’m thinking about double majoring in maths and economics…and I’m thinking about doing that business program at booth as well…</p>
<p>Kiwi…let me serenade you with my ballad of hope…</p>
<p>DON’T STOP…BELIEVING!</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Don’t sweat it. Then again, I’m a hypocrit, because I had a huge mental breakdown over my conundrum with my essay which has yet to materialize as the figurative clock of doom counts down the impending deadline…oh woe is me…</p>
<p>Anywho…My advice…which is really just borrowed advice from those who are superior to me in wisdom, is to stack up on pints of icecream. I have Cookie dough literally with my name on it thanks to my handy dandy label maker…I also have made a vow of silence, in which, if I do not get accepted to UofC, I will be silent, brooding and quote-un-quote “Emo” for the rest of the schoolyear.</p>
<p>Wow…That was some pretty bad advice looking back on it O_O Listen to what I tell you…and then do the opposite ^-^</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m EA from New York City, a hopeful Classics major. I love UChi to death… and I can’t wait to submit my application (hopefully this week)!</p>
<p>Ideally: sit in on a class, tour, info session, 2:45 interview, walk around campus, get off the south side by sunset at 5:45, plane leaves at 9.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who is so set on UChicago that if I get into all the schools I am applying to but Chicago, I will still feel like I lost in this whole admissions game?</p>
<p>I am applying to my state safety, which is a decent public school, so before any older CC’ers warn me about balancing my list of schools, I want to make it clear that I DO have a safety. But nonetheless, my heart is set on Chicago. Perhaps this is an exaggeration that my fellow EA’ers will not empathize with, but I know that if I were accepted to every big-name, ‘prestigious’, ivy league school and UChicago, I would choose Chicago in a heartbeat…</p>
<p>So, essentially what I am trying to say is:
I need a UChicago shirt to wear at night for good luck.</p>
<p>I just scheduled my interview; 6AM train from Detroit and then I get back at 1AM the next day, just in time to go to school!
A-Punk, I know exactly how you feel. I love all of the schools I’m applying to and am sure they would work really well for me, but it doesn’t matter. My heart is set in stone on Chicago. That is, as soon as I claw my way through draft seven of the games essay… They handed out shirts at the summer open houses, I’m sorry you missed out on that! With all this talk of lucky shirts, I know what I’ll be sleeping in for the next couple months…</p>
<p>^^ Same to all of you guys. I’d pick UofC over anywhere. I love all the schools I’m applying to… all of them except for 1 or 2 are top 30 schools, but I’d pick UofC over all of them. And if I got into my 2nd choice, but not UChicago, I still couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if I went to the UofC. I think I have a decent shot, but who knows. All I’ve got is my t-shirt, and I’m stickin’ with it.</p>
