UChicago Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

Oh, I’m almost absolutely positive that there will be varying decisions. There’ll be 4 of us!
Our school doesn’t end until 3:06 anyway, and if it comes out at 3:00 I don’t think I could wait.

Okay, which essays did you choose and what were your topics? I’m just super curious because mine was totally impersonal but (if I say so myself) funny.

3:06?? That’s such a weird time why not just 3:00 haha? @tutututututuru

I took the easy way out and did the one where you could write a page about anything and wrote about my culture @lyannastark

I answered the “why are you here and not somewhere else?” prompt

With such a low acceptance rate, there’s a high chance that not all of you would get in, making it a possibly very uncomfortable situation

@lyannastark I thought I was hilarious for one of mine. I chose the mashup two historical figures one, and I chose Kim-Jung Kardashian.

My essays were pretty impersonal because I am generally a pretty relaxed kinda guy who just tries to make people smile.

I chose the “which landscape would you want to walk a tightrope over” Last spring break i went to italy, france, and spain with my school. I talked about walking over these 5 italian villages we visited, and tried to tie in aspects of my personality, what i gained from the trip, and to show some creativity :slight_smile:

Guys!! I think I figured out what the FAFSA thing means

@DynamicProphet what?

@graceann Lol my school starts at 7:34 and ends at 2:17

lol my school ends at 2:32

Those numbers actually hurt @emilyskates

@lyannastark I am a huge politics guy as well! Can’t wait to vote tomorrow (I’m from Ohio)!

I actually am the President of the Democratic Club on my school’s campus. :^) Did you already vote or is your state later?

When we applied, we had the option of being considered for financial aid along with getting our fees waivered. I believe the people who selected yes are the ones who see their FAFSA @lyannastark

My school starts at 8:00 and ends at 2:50.

@DynamicProphet nope. I selected yes and I dont have my fafsa

Do you mean selected yes to the fee waiver? @DynamicProphet I applied for financial aid but not a fee waiver

dang nevermind
