<p>@insomniac: especially since we had to deal with the unreasonably small acceptance rate!</p>
<p>Arzachel and evertheoptimist,</p>
<p>You guys are seriously lucky to have recieved so much aid. You should be very proud and happy with that, because judging by my own aid and the posts of others here on CC, Chicago’s aid can be pretty horrible. There is no way I can be expected to contribute as much as they think I can.</p>
<p>Phlipper,</p>
<p>I think for still gaining admission with a 42% application increase, we deserve something special, too! :)</p>
<p>I thought the Christmas card was a bit meh. I had received a few days before that was more specific, like “We love your commitment to ballet” and other things in my app. My UChicago card was like “Nice Why UChicago essay. We love the way that you love us.” Meh.</p>
<p>And now I get mail from them like erryday. It’s a bit much. Scarf was awesome though.</p>
<p>wait, what? a scarf? Where’s my scarf! :)</p>
<p>Nevermind i read the whole thread now… -.-! Okay I will come if you send me a t-shirt, okay chicago? :P</p>
<p>I want a scarf! Is the “maroon book” you are talking about the same as the RD acceptance book?</p>
<p>^ is it the tiny booklet inside of the big packet?</p>
<p>i really want something…do we only get tshirts if we commit?</p>
