UChicago Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

Ok maybe the FAFSA stuff really is a weird hint. Huh.

The only way we’ll know is if in two days we say what was weird with our portal and whether or not we were accepted. Can we agree to do that for those applying next year?

Also on the “ask a Chicago admissions officer” thread I asked them about it and the admissions officer straight up ignored my question

@VaishS you’re gutsy and I like it!!

Getting really sad about the FAFSA thing…

Okay until tonight I was only moderately anxious but this whole possible FAFSA hint is making me really nervous! I’m all kinds of excited and scared. Honestly, it’s both torturous and exhilarating at the same time and I kinda like it.

Who here still has the fafsa?

@jacobpilawa Knowing your app, and the fact that you don’t have a FAFSA thing, worries ME. We’re just making stress for ourselves.

Ok I didn’t mean to make anyone sad (including myself), lets just try to not think about the fafsa and try to distract ourselves or try to think about other schools!!!

Deleted (double post somehow)

@graceann I still have my FAFSA also labeled March 2nd but no warped boxes.

I refuse to accept this FAFSA speculation. Either way, Wednesday is going to be an emotional day.

So for anyone who had school during EA results, what was it like? It came out at 3 CST, but my school was out that day.

@tutututututuru lol I tried thinking about it and I hoenstly can’t remember at alllll :open_mouth:

@tutututututuru I was during school on the day of EA results. I couldn’t get from class to class without refreshing my portal over and over again. I actually didn’t get an email saying that my portal was updated. It didn’t come out until I got home though, around 4 or 5 EST.

I was at a friend’s house frantically updating every hour on the hour.

What do you guys think about opening up decisions with friends? All of my friends applied and we might just meet up in the library after school and do it. That might be weird though!

I have my FAFSA on there. UChicago is my dream school but I do not believe that I got in.

@tutututututuru I wouldn’t do that. If I got into a school I wouldn’t feel good about celebrating if one of my friends didn’t get in and was upset about it. Also vice versa

@tutututututuru I would avoid that. Someone might get in and others might not. That would probably make one feel like trash. :frowning:

@tutututututuru I’m admittedly very superstitious so if I were in your situation, I would choose to view my decision alone because I would be afraid of jinxing it since that always happens to me when I do something like that lol
