<p>It seems like most of us have finished all the hard work. Let’s hope for the best :)</p>
<p>im finally done…
and yes we shall all hope for the very very best!</p>
<p>Good luck to all the RD applicants (and the EA deferrees)!</p>
<p>I have yet to submit all my applications. I’m such a procrastinator. :(</p>
<p>AAAAAH STILL WORKING!</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>Thank God I’m not alone.</p>
<p>Don’t forget that the credit card takes up to two days to clear- not sure if it’s “turned in” until then. </p>
<p>Best of luck (or fate) to all of you!</p>
<p>For what it’s worth:</p>
<p>I didn’t think my essays were outstanding – I’ve written more insightful pieces for English class. They didn’t have the spark and ingenuity that everybody spoke about when referencing their Chicago essays. I judge myself on tough standards, but I was honestly worried that because my essays weren’t “stellar”, I wasn’t going to get in. I did. They look at so much more than just the 1500 words that you write. </p>
<p>Moral: Good luck with your apps, don’t fret over typos or dumb mistakes (I had a few of these too). Hopefully I’ll see you there next year!</p>
<p>And don’t freak out on the UnCommonApp blog like us Early kids did.</p>
<p>Are you Indian?
The wording of the title reminded me of Swami Vivekananda’s speech at the 1893 parliament of world religions in Chicago.</p>
<p>Ditto, abhishiv</p>
<p>No… I’m a Korean.</p>
<p>Just curious, will adcoms be knowing who swami Vivekananda was?</p>
