<p>Anyone who didn’t get a likely letter know their decision yet?</p>

<p>First non-recruited-non-scholarship decisions are expected on the 15th (according to the hype).</p>

<p>i am not an athlete so i guess mine will come out around dec 15 too :)</p>

<p>early applicants notified on friday!!! cant wait any longer!!!</p>

<p>I guess they have to extend the torture on us haha. Just try to chill out as much as possible, and btw I have so many things to be worried about, so the decision is jst one of it.</p>

<p>I need a soma holiday to get through this wait</p>

<p>How did you all find the official date is this friday and not tomorrow?</p>

<p>i think this’ll be the first time when i wouldn’t like to say TGIF :frowning: also, does anyone know if it’s released 5pm EST or Central?</p>

<p>Out of curiosity what essays did you all do?</p>

<p>Find X…was there any other option? :D</p>

<p>I did “find x” as well…I imagine that was a popular one, being such a fun and open-ended prompt. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I was really anxious going through today believing that we’d hear decisions tomorrow, but somehow the knowledge that it’s been pushed back to Friday sent me past the threshold of caring what happens. Maybe I’ll be able to actually concentrate on schoolwork now, haha.~</p>

<p>I did Find X. It was so easy to write. By the way, the University of Chicago has been misleading about its dates/times before. </p>

<p>It would be 5 CST considering Chicago is central time. So, 6EST and 3 Pacific.</p>

<p>Nooo >< great…have to wait until 6…oh wells, i’ll take a long nap until then :P</p>

<p>Do you guys think having an interview was really important :frowning:
I’m soo nervous…UChicago has been my dream school for so long</p>

<p>Interviews are optional and don’t count as a factor in your app. It’s mainly for you to just get to know the school better.</p>

<p>What do you guys predict the EA acceptance rate will be this year?</p>

<p>I actually answered the honesty prompt. I figured a creative answer to a more ordinary prompt would be better than a more mundane answer to a creative prompt. At least that was how I saw it.</p>
