<p>**** chicago! haha i’m ****ed b/c i got my rejection a few hours ago! boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
okay i’m done</p>
<p>looks like UT austin now. noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, does UT even have a decent bio program? coooommmmmmeee onnn</p>
<p>or what about appealing? does chicago let you appeal decisions!? blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah</p>
<p>oh, by the way, chicago messed up and sent me someone else’s rejection letter, too. my last name starts with Far and the rejection letter for someone Farley, who lives in IL as marked on the envelope, was stuck to my envelope. sooo, if anyone from IL has the last name Farley, i’m sorry! it hurts, blaaah</p>
<p>i live in KS. the envelope marked for IL must have gotten stuck to my envelope bac in the UC office. blaaah i can’t find any info the UT bio department. the school in general is decent but i need to know more about bio. ehhhhhhhh :(</p>
<p>Decision: even worse than a reject… waitlist
stats:
1400 (640m, 760v)
3.8 uw hardest courseload except ap chemistry
7% rank at a fairly large public school
other stuff: my essay wasn’t the greatest, my recs were awesome, I had no hook, I have a lot of ecs but no incredible talent… hm I guess I am just not all that impressive, oh well I am accepting my place on the list and I am writing another essay and getting a few more recs. It sucks that I probably have no shot, I love UCHI and definitely would’ve gone had I been offered admission. Oh well… it isn’t quite over yet!</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted
Stats:
SAT/ACT: 1430 780V 650M
SAT IIs: nope
GPA: 3.85 my sophomore year was truly miserable abysmal however
Rank: Top 5 percent. number 11 in my class…
Other stats: um.
Subjective:
Essays: I did the MLK quote one. i disagreed. i thought it was pretty well written.
Teacher Recs: so-so. my ap us history teacher’s was good. and my chem teacher is a rabid communist. so i pretended that suv’s were a travesty against nature and he loved me.
Counselor Rec: pretty good.
Hook (if any): I’m very active in church, (mormon arghhh) captain of two varsity sports (swimming and field hockey), nhs, i work a lot…i think i’m well rounded.
Location/Person:
State or Country: Maine
School Type: small, it was party of the “small school talent search” thingy.
Ethnicity: white.
Gender: Female</p>
<p>why you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted: I had a truly heinous interview with an alumna. she was the oddest person i ever met: she talked for three hours about herself, offered to teach me to spin yarn, told me about llamas and then decided i was perfect for chicago. i don’t know if the interview helped me, but it couldn’t have hurt. plus i made out all my essays to sound like a rabid feminist. a rabid feminist mormon. maybe that makes me unique.</p>
<p>Other Factors: not many. im facing a really difficult choice between chicago and the usna, where i got an appointment. no idea what to do.</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten my letter yet. Not to freak anyone out but I’ve heard that because only letter of acceptance are first class, slower mail might mean you’ve been waitlisted or rejected. Sigh. Still have hope! I’ll know by tomorrow or so…</p>
<p>WOAAAAH! Im accepted! I don’t fricken believe it! I was at Chico State all day (most underrated campus ever, btw), and I called home at two to have my sister check the mail. She said “large envelope from chicago”… I cannot fricken believe it.
ok, so here are the stats:
1420 SAT
33 ACT
4 B’s out of 50 semester grades (something like a 3.9 unw)… 4.3 W
hardest possible courses in everything except science and math… where I havent taken any honors science classes or even pre-calculus
I thought my essay SUCKED… I went to my counselor the day before i sent it in and said “I dont think I should waste my 60 bucks… my essay is bad” but he just nodded and said “submit it anyways”… AND NOW HERE I AM! WOAH…
I never expected to be 7for7, but no rejections yet.
still waiting to hear from Amherst tho, which is most likely a no-no… although anything’s fair game now with chicago taking me.</p>
<p>32 ACT, 780 US History SAT II, 720 Math 2c, 680 Writing
4.3 GPA or something ridiculous, 4.6 not counting freshman year
Hecka good essays
I play drums hecka good

<p>I feel bad for all your hard workers who got rejected. I litterally was a daily marijuana user for some of my late sophomore and a good part of my junior year. Though I no longer touch the plant with as much frequency, I can tell you i put as much or less effort into work.</p>
(that was only for Northwestern)</p>
