<p>I loved the Hogwarts one. But then I AM a total Harry Potter junkie.</p>
<p>what are the 10 reasons? I am curious</p>
<p>If you are planning to apply Early Action this e-mail is a gentle reminder that UChicago’s EA Deadline is November 2nd, 2009.</p>
<p>Our tour guides created this “Top Ten List,” to hopefully ease any stress the college search process may be causing:</p>
<p>Top Ten Reasons You Should Turn In Your Early Action Application on Sunday</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Dean Nondorf wants You! To apply to the University of Chicago.</p></li>
<li><p>Winter will be SO MUCH WARMER, comparatively. To January 20, 1985.</p></li>
<li><p>You can’t get into college if you don’t apply!</p></li>
<li><p>Turning in a college application is a time honored All Saint’s Day tradition.</p></li>
<li><p>Procrastinating is only cool and fun once you’re in college.</p></li>
<li><p>You are one step closer to winning a Nobel Prize! Or at least closer to people who have won the Nobel Prize.</p></li>
<li><p>If you turn in your application early, Jon and Kate will a) get back together or b) stay divorced. Choose your own adventure!</p></li>
<li><p>Every time an Early Action application is sent in, a fairy gets its wings.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>9.That Hogwarts letter isn’t coming. This is the next best thing.</p>
<ol>
<li>You send us an application, we send you cookies. (Note: The University of Chicago cannot guarantee the delivery of any and all baked goods to applicants.)</li>

<p>Best,

<p>In case anyone needs motivation, haha.</p>
<p>^^LOL
I didn’t get that email (probably because I sent in my app about a week ago). That’s still hilarious. Typical UofC.
And it’s a good thing I sent my app in early because I’ve had “TEH SWINEZ” for the past 4 days.
John and Kate… too soon?</p>
<p>Did anyone else notice the Nov 2 deadline on that 10 reasons to go to U of C?
My kid is doing application today and it would be good to know if the deadline is really November 2!</p>
<p>I’ve noticed that too! I hope that is the case. Any more time I can use to make revisions will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Yes, we asked about it on the PSAC thread last night and Grace said she’d check on it. There are several others who have also reported receiving the 11/2 deadline thread.</p>
<p>I hope its November 2!</p>
<p>Ohhhhh, I hope it’s November 2. The CSS profile was due Nov 2.</p>
<p>I am reviewing my application and I am getting so nervous as the deadline approaches! I keep on eating mini twix bars from the Halloween candy reserved for trick or treaters. I hope they don’t like twix.</p>
<p>I’m currently hunkered down by the door with my laptop and the box of halloween candy waiting for kids to ring the doorbell… Really nervous >.< Trying to set a 1:00 pm deadline for tomorrow… hopefully everything will work out.</p>
<p>haha I’m just eating it;) good luck to you zakuropanda! Hopefully everthing will work out for the both of us!</p>
<p>I didn’t get the email!!! :(</p>
<p>Oh man, I wish I hadn’t submitted my app so early.</p>
<p>After you guys applied, did any of you schedule an off campus interview. For some reason on my homepage, i can’t find the link to request an interview. It’s really been bugging me.</p>
<p>@autrizzle: Yes, I can’t find it either. If it doesn’t pop up after the deadline, I’m going to write to my admissions counselor. If I do get a reply from him, I’ll PM you. Perhaps you can do the same and tell me what he/she says?</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I am going to probably going to do. It says we need to schedule by November 3rd. I will probably send her an e-mail and then call her on Monday. I’ll pm you if i see anything pop up. haha.</p>
<p>yah guys I am having the same problem. On my Chicago account home page, it says that once you apply you will be able to schedule an off campus interview. I submitted my application and supplement and paid the fee about 3 hours ago, so maybe it takes some time to update? Tell me what you guys hear if you contact the admissions counselor.</p>
<p>^I’m quite sure it has nothing to do with the time taken to update. A system that applies for thousands of undergrad applicants is bound to be automated. Also, some of us submitted days ago and still haven’t gotten any news.</p>
<p>Let me get something straight. Someone at the halloween party was telling me that you have to submit by midnight tonight if the deadline is Nov 1. It’s tomorrow midnight. correct? I am pretty sure I am correct but when you get paranoid… you just can’t think straight… Please say yes and I will go to bed in peace…</p>
<p>Hi all! I’m from Minnesota.</p>
<p>I submitted my app a few days ago. I wrote about human personality - haven’t seen many “I responded to that one!” comments around here (none, actually, after a search), which makes me happy. I had lots of fun with it.</p>
<p>I’m looking to double major in English and Anthropology. If I were to be accepted, I would be thrilled, but I’m crossing fingers for my ED–Barnard–even more. I’d defs participate in the debate society, write for the U’s different publications, and probably join crew. Maybe fencing?</p>
<p>Cheers, and good luck! :-)</p>
