<p>^ I seriously layed in bed this morning for like tenminutes telling myself, “A Chicago rejection is not the end of the world.”</p>
<p>every time i get my mind off the decision, i start thinking about it again.</p>
<p>i was accepted oos to ucla last night, but my desire to attend ucla pales in comparison to my desire to attend chicago.</p>
<p>^^@butternut - ditto. i woke up today, remembered uchicago decisions might possibly come out today, and practically had to start being my own therapist. “The world is not going to end in a apocalyptic fireball because I got rejected from Chicago…is it?” o_0</p>
<p>Good luck guys. I hope alot of you get in!!!</p>
<p>i got in ucla a couple days ago…but i just wanna know about uchicago. i’ve been basically glued to this site since i discovered the thread…</p>
<p>I’m a bit ****ed they haven’t come out yet. This wait is starting to annoy me more than excite me. I’m pretty sure they have all the decisions; just put them online, already.</p>
<p>I’m sure if they had all the decisions ready, they would post them. I think we are getting a little worked up, honestly. Think of how much work they have to do…I bet they wish it’s done already more than us.</p>

<p>Same thing happened for EA. All the CCers made a thread where we spent like 4 days worrying about what would happen if decisions were released that day. Looking back at it, it looks funny … but it also goes to show how Chicago applicants are unique. You can’t find that kind of discussion on other boards.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how much the common app essays affect their decision? The other essays I wrote for Chicago were decent, but I was just reading my common app essay and it literally made me cringe because it was so bad haha. Well i guess either way I’ll find out soon =)</p>
<p>I’d put my money on March 30th, to be perfectly honest.</p>
<p>They did that to us EAers. Make us sweat it out. Give no indication of when they’ll be released.</p>
<p>Then you get home from school on Monday, check to see if they uploaded decisions for reasons beyond your control and that you can’t quite understand, and then, BAM!, happiness.</p>
<p>or BAM! Myocardial infarction. JK :P</p>
<p>Regardless of what happens, you’ll end up doing nothing the rest of the day. Either from depression or happiness. (Hopefully the second . . .) But this is why you need to be productive now before the decisions come in. ;)</p>
<p>(The timing of the EA decisions sucked: two days before finals for me, so I predictably bombed most of them.)</p>
<p>Q: What are the chances we are going to get acceptances on a Sunday?
A: Zilch.</p>
<p>That means Monday is still a possibility. Monday is my birthday, so I better get in!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed. Actually, your productivity goes down almost to zero a few days before decisions come out, because it’s just hard to concentrate on work. </p>
<p>Back when EA released, I spent all night “drifting” on-line.</p>
<p>I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked, but does anyone know if the admissions staff of Chicago is even open on Monday/ during spring break?</p>
<p>^^oh, they better be…i am NOT waiting another week for decisions o_0</p>
<p>Even if they’re not in the office, isn’t it possible that they’ve set up the system to automatically generate an email/post the decision online at X PM on day Y?</p>
<p>I might be wrong, but EA decisions came out on Monday, Dec. 15 and hadn’t their winter break started by then? Although now that I think about it, that’s pretty early.</p>
<p>After reading this thread, I am all the more confused. >< When are decisions <em>supposed</em> to be posted (As opposed to when we desperately want them to be posted, which would be now)?</p>
<p>They’re “supposed” to be posted april 1. This goes for most schools. But they are almost always posted a week or so before.</p>
<p>^ Thanks. I am sooo nervous.</p>
