*Official EA Decisions & Stats Thread*

<p>I am relatively new here on CC. I do want to let you know, chicagonobel, that even when I hadn’t registered on CC and would just read posts, I noticed yours most of all and that is what inspired me to get involved. I wish you the very best in everything that you do and know that you will donate tremendous amounts of monies to whomever you wish. :)</p>

<p>I second that. All the best, chicagonobel, as your posts always made me laugh and i admired your dedication the school. i’ll see you in a few years, i hope!</p>

<p>I have to third that.</p>

<p>I can’t believe it, Chicagonobel. I’ve always read your posts and you’re definitely the most UChicago dedicated person on this board! I really feel your pain, man. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. </p>

<p>I wish you the best and good luck finding a school.</p>

<p>oh no, can you appeal it? we all love you so much…</p>

<p>wait hold on.</p>

<p>what if like every single accepted person wrote letter? chicagonobel you were the most devoted to chicago… im so sorry</p>

<p>no seriously, i would write him a letter. maybe if we got enough accepted people to say how much we want him in our class, people from all over the country so its obvious that its not just his schoolmates or something.</p>

<p>haha…indy and every one else… thanx.</p>

<p>But, of all the things i respect, the decision from UChicago lies way up high in the sky. I respect their decision and am sure they made it out of long consideration. Where I go, I always have one thin in common with all of you: Love of UChicago.</p>

<p>Anyways, as my good friend and teacher W… says, Choosing is a college is like choosing a wife out of 10 girl friends. Even though you choose the most beautiful, most talented and kindest person, you will still miss the other 9. </p>

<p>Of the ten, I love UChicago but rejection is nothing new for me…I still have nine more to go, and who knows…I might end up in Stanford or Yale:) </p>

<p>Coming to this board always tears me up…so, I will say adieu and good luck, my fellow Maroons at heart.</p>

<p>what a warrior~</p>

<p>Awwwwwww…best of luck to you Chicagonobel!</p>

<p>wow, that’s really taking the high-road. good for you, chicagonobel. i really admire your class.</p>

<p>Wow, I can’t believe chicagonobel was outright rejected with his stats and dedication.</p>

<p>I came to CC only 4 months ago, and as I was looking through the Ivy Colleges board and other colleges’ boards, chicagonobel’s posts struck me the most - so much dedication for one college. I didn’t and still can’t find any CC user who has shown that level of dedication, and to top it off, a person who accepts the final outcome. I can’t start to imagine how I’d feel if I were in your position. Best out luck, chicagonobel.</p>

<p>just goes to show, the admissions process is so damn subjective</p>

<p>Aww chicagonobel… I totally feel for you.
Same thing happened to me and Columbia ED.</p>

<p>Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck! And you’re absolutely right about the other 9 colleges!!! :slight_smile:
There’s lots of attractive ones out there!
I’m sure you’ll be very happy where ever you end up going!</p>

<p>Merry Christmas!</p>

<p>what the hell were your essays about? you were so super qualified, my pm i sent you i rly wanted to see you there. this is terrible.</p>

<p>yea man, you’re so great, what was this big risk you took on your essays??</p>

<p>haha…it was completely non chicagoish. I wrote about my life in a detailed, unorthodox fashion…my life in India and my life in U.S. and how I had to change to the different cultures.</p>

<p>This was my only weak point, at least I think it was. The other two essays were great. I just didn’t feel it right to write about Mustard or Teleclone when I could just write about myself…i know…i am a pompous little ■■■■■■■.</p>

<p>No, I agree totally. I thought that’s what the essay was FOR…</p>

<p>i think your essay might have been great for somewhere else, but i always got the sense that chicago cared less about your story and more about learning how you thought. i still don’t know why they rejected you though…: (</p>

<p>It’s probably better he didn’t get in. He wrote that BEFORE he even got accepted to Chicago. I can’t imagine how arrogant he would get if he did get in. Given that UC doesn’t reject that many in the ED and that he/she does have good stats/ECs, I wonder if it’s because adcom see this undesirable trait of him. UC is a great institution for learners and to be a great learner, one also needs to be humble and aware how much he still doesn’t know.</p>
