<p>Hey Libby, I hope the near year is going extremely well for the Chicago admissions office. </p>
<p>I just have a brief delimma. My school does not report midyear until the second week of February since we take finals the last week of January. I was accepted EA, and am wondering if the late midyear report will influence anything.</p>
<p>Moreover, is there anything I can do increase my chance at merit awards?</p>
