UChicago Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

If you applied for FA I think they automatically gave you a fee waiver

I can’t even compare with my friend because he never even did his fafsa

@DynamicProphet I applied both for financial aid and for a fee waiver, and my FAFSA is not there.

@graceann We have 8 50 minute periods, 3 minute passing periods, and announcements after 5th period. I guess it just comes out to 3:06. I don’t know where they’d shave the time off, because if anything we need more time for passing periods.

Everyone who applied for FA got a fee waiver. That’s like, UChicago’s thing, I thought.

Oh I gotcha @tutututututuru eight classes a day is a lot too! We only have four, but they’re 80 minutes

I went through the previous year’s threads and tried to make a connection. They were freaking out about the same thing last year. Unfortunately, none of the people who were accepted ever weighed in on their portals, so THANKS FOR NOTHING CLASS OF 2019! Lol

we could try matching accounts @Alamom

I never did FAFSA and now i wish i did so i could see :confused: is there anything else different with the portals of those whose FAFSA was taken off and those whose was not?

My thoughts exactly, @scd166

yeah for a school with a single digit acceptance rate, there are too many of us

Its CC though… idk

Can someone post the link to last years thread. I cant find it

@VaishS for EA, very few people from the thread got in. I just don’t see some huge turnaround in RD

@Alamom I think the fact that class of 2019 made no comment afterwards about FAFSA is a sign that there is no connection between FAFSA and acceptance because if connection was that obvious, I feel like all the commenters would have noted it.

Everyone on CC except for me seems to have cured cancer, gone to the moon, got a PhD, was the captain of every varsity team, and did 5000 service hours. :expressionless:

Here I am proud of Science Olympiad.

@jacobpilawa LOL THATS SO ME

I’m going to log onto College Confidential tomorrow and freak out because I see 200 notifications from this board so I’ll think decisions were released early when really everyone was just freaking out over some missing forms and distorted boxes. :))

Hey all! Sorry we are all so stressed out so I’m gonna contribute my piece of the speculation regarding the missing FAFSA. Since we ALL had the FAFSA thing a couple of weeks ago, the missing FAFSA MIGHT ( keyword might ) mean that it had been downloaded by the financial aid office, which is a good sign. I emailed the financial aid office a few days ago regarding something completely separate and they told me that they are still processing financial aid awards so if I’m correct there’s still no need to be discouraged - yours is probably just not downloaded yet

So it seems like everybody has the boxes? (except @VaishS ?)
