<p>Anything new? Rejected/Waitlisted/Accepted?</p>
<p>Thanks, sillystring, and way to go! I want my D to meet yours.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m not trying to be an a-hole, I’m just sick and tired of people asking the wrong questions. Are Jewish people really cheap? Are blacks really good at sports and bad at math? Are Asians nerds? Are Irish people drunk morons? Are Canadians wussyboys (lol)? Are UChicago students nerds? Come on now. </p>
<p>Also, this e-war is really funny to read and I hope nobody feels bad about a comment anybody else makes over the internet. I hope we all mature enough not to take yourself seriously especially when an e-punch doesn’t hurt.</p>
<p>Let’s get this thread back to where it was intended to be.

<p>Ya, it’s wonderful that Chicago doesn’t spend the extra 5 bucks to get it to us earlier…</p>

<p>not sure yet whether i’m going to go… i’m pulling my hair out trying to decide between uchi, barnard, and williams… very difficult decision!!! i can’t make it to the prospective student overnights (one of them is on my 18th birthday, though, haha) but i plan on making my own trek before the month is up. congrats to everyone else who was accepted, and i hope we all have a great time next year!</p>
<p>Same here…wondered if any international heard yet!</p>
<p>This is very strange that Internationals don’t hear until much later. Lots of other colleges send their acceptances at least DHL or Fedex or something… sometimes they even arrive before Domestic acceptances, oddly enough. :-/</p>
