<p>I’m from Sao Paulo - SP. Before finishing my application, I still had hope… but now, lost here at CC and seeing all these amazing stats, I can say that I have pretty slim chances =(
About the other Brazilians: one was a girl from Rio who didn’t get into UChicago. The other was a guy from an American school here in SP.</p>
<p>I’m heading to USP if I don’t get in, so it’s not so bad…</p>
<p>And… I’m a girl, if it helps =)</p>
<p>jenkster, I think that was because UChicago email goes to the junk file</p>
<p>Haha oh how I hated that class… the Chi-square tests still haunt me two years down the line. :D</p>
<p>Anyways, I suspect it may well be by region as all the people in my school got it the same day too. We all definitely didn’t get in, and I find it unlikely that none of us did, since this year so far, our school has a significant number of acceptances to top, top colleges and most of the Princeton applicants are cross applicants, myself included.</p>
<p>Then again, aliu may be onto something. Maybe I’m trying to comfort myself for getting an email on the first day, but I truly doubt that they would structure emails in such a manner.</p>
<p>nope, nothing in junk either and i’d set them as safe too.</p>
<p>wow, jenkster, yeah, your case were an exception for sure</p>
<p>^ was that thinly veiled UC slam?
Perhaps not; I think poorly at night.</p>
<p>I agree with tlewet22 and it’s a regional/Rep. thing (my original theory too).</p>
<p>Maybe Princeton is sending the emails in alphabetical order with our email accounts. It would make sense for them to make a grand list of applicants’ emails and send the emails out chunks at a time from that list.</p>
<p>That was a pretty succint observation aliu82. I just hope that its correct!! :)</p>
<p>wow…i finally got the email…30 minutes ago</p>
<p>hey agldro I’m a boy, if it helps too…
haha… Yep… well… USP isn’t that bad, huh??
I think my locatlization is an advantage because i never heard about people form here applying for american colleges. I hope I’m right and I hope you’ll be accepted as well… =D
I have a friend from Porto Alegre who applying for UPenn too… As we he didn’t receive the answer… =P
I read you received the letter talking about online decisions… Wierd, because I haven’t and we’re from the same country. … o.O</p>
<p>I just received the email</p>
<p>i think most of internationals are getting emails today~</p>
<p>International!!! I finally got mine too!!! Yay!!!</p>
<p>I just got mine today and I am from WI.</p>
<p>Just got the email now - Canada</p>
<p>I received my email on the 18th. It was straightforward telling me online decisions will be posted on the 31st. My email begins with a “D” so perhaps it is sent out by email alphabetical order. Those who just received their email -what does your email begin with?</p>
<p>i got mine. WI - midwest</p>
<p>killakilla and collegebound, maybe you’re right. My email starts with “e”.</p>
<p>Well, I got mine yesterday, the 24th. My email starts with mer-. </p>
<p>I’m most inclined to believe the random theory, the regional rep theory, or maybe the as-decisions-are-made theory.</p>
<p>For the rep theory, did anyone in VA get their email long before the 24th?</p>
