Official UChicago 2017 RD Thread

<p>So I applied to 5 Canadian schools and 5 us schools (the us ones being unrealistic dreams)</p>

<p>Canada:
-University of Toronto
-University of Waterloo
-McMaster University
-McGill University
-Queens University</p>

<p>USA:
-Harvard University
-Yale University
-Columbia University
-University of Chicago
-University of Pennsylvania</p>

<p>I applied to 17 schools - Yale being my first choice (deferred SCEA). Only heard back from one other school which was Villanova - accepted into the honors program there.</p>

<p>@GetMoreVeggies
I’ve applied to 11- of which 4 I really don’t care much about (but offer decent departments for what I’m wanting to do)… My top choices are;</p>

<p>MIT
Princeton
VIPER program (UPenn)
CalTech
UChicago
Duke</p>

<p>All of which are pending :|</p>

<p>Georgetown - accepted
Harvard - waiting
UChicago - waiting</p>

<p>After Georgetown EA I kind of like knocked off 5 schools from my list and just went big.</p>

<p>Georgetown - deferred
Columbia - waiting
Chicago - waiting
Brown - waiting
Duke - waiting
GW - waiting
American - waiting
Florida State - waiting</p>

<p>I honestly love and care about all my schools, although I care a lot less about the last two.</p>

<p>i applied to 22 schools…</p>

<p>How did you afford all that?! </p>

<p>Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using CC</p>

<p>im rich :confused: i had a much larger list earlier (stupid commonapp limit)</p>

<p>There’s a limit to common app? Couldn’t you have just made different versions of the app?</p>

<p>u have to make totally new versions (like with different emails) and invite the counselor/recommenders again. my school is kinda uncooperative…</p>

<p>Really? I made 2 other versions of my app and the counselor/teacher recs transferred right over.</p>

<p>yeah but u cant go over the 20 school limit (combined) if u do it that way right</p>

<p>Oh, you’re right, I just looked it up. Well, that sucks :confused: What’s the point of offering so many colleges if we’re limited?</p>

<p>ikr. i honestly wouldnt mind applying to every school that uses the commonapp if it was possible</p>

<p>I was deferred from EA, but had an alumni interview today via skype. Crossing my fingers!</p>

<p>Good luck! Do you feel like it went well?</p>

<p>I think it was pretty good, we had a nice chat. No questions that I didn’t expect so I hope they like the way I answered them. I would have preferred a face to face interview (I’m pretty good at those). It’s hard to read someone through a computer screen. But I’ll take what I can get!</p>

<p>Ugh. I had to cut my college list down to fifteen. Dem expenses, though. Wish I could have applied to other places. Grrrr.</p>
