General Comments:</p>
<p>sahweet, are you applying anywhere else?</p>
<p>you have a gpa of 5.0? wow</p>
<p>I’m applying to ten other schools: rice, caltech, usc, u of rochester, duke, emory, washu, harvard, stanford, and johns hopkins.</p>
<p>What about you guys?</p>
<p>ahh that’s crazy! i’m not applying anywhere else…chicago it is!</p>
<p>yeah, i have to apply to others too: duke, amherst, penn, brown, columbia, hopkins, washu</p>
<p>Also applying to Duke, COlumbia, Hopkins, WUSTL, Rice, & Carnegie.</p>
<p>The only other apps I’m doing are the ones I have already sent in for MIT and the University of Rochester, but Chicago is my first choice so eventually I’ll get around to withdrawing the other apps.</p>
<p>i’ve gotta finish my apps for Middlebury, Emory, Colby, and Rhodes, but in reality the only schools i want to go to are Midd and UChicago</p>
<p>i’m in and i love it. But i cant accept till i find out about financial aid because i asked for a LOT. i’m applying to duke, harvard, princeton, dartmouth, columbia, williams, amherst, rice and case western</p>

General Comments: I can’t pay for Chicago unless I get MAJOR aid. My life=scholarships.</p>
<p>I’m not seeing many non-acceptances. Do you guys think the admissions rate went up? I would think it would be more selective this year, what with the surge in applications.</p>
<p>I believe that everyone here really wanted to be accepted. They have researched the university, wrote amazing essays, and are smarter than the average bear- If you took a poll of people of all those who applied, I’m sure you would find a high rate of rejection. If you post on a message board about the school, I’m sure you spent the time to properly prepare your aplicaton. Plus- If I were rejected- I wouldn’t be wanting to post it on a message board!</p>
