<p>deferees represent! how are you guys today?</p>
<p>Actually pretty good! I slept for a ridiculous 12 hours, watched some dr. who, and now I feel like I’m ready to get back on the horse and work on my letter for UChi. It’s really encouraging how awesome you guys all are; I’m in great company being deferred. How’s it going for y’all?</p>
<p>Applying to more schools whose deadlines are tomorrow lol #UChicagoDeferreeLife</p>
<p>@nerve that’s good! i’m actually pretty great, aced all my finals so far, including one i was sure i failed, and my last final is tomorrow. how long do our letters have to be, do you know?</p>
<p>@Nerve I would start with Thor and then watch Avengers (and then see Thor 2 if it’s still in a theater near you). Tom has done such an incredible job with Loki’s arc - by far the Marvel character with the most character development and depth of portrayal.</p>
<p>Today was a little sad for me because one of my close friends got accepted and everyone was congratulating her. I mean, I’m happy for her, but I can’t help feeling a bit jealous. But coming on this thread makes me feel better. My day was pretty good otherwise, though.</p>
<p>Anyone got rejected yet?? Ahah just wondering :)</p>
<p>@seaswallowed yeah, I totally understand the feeling. it definitely doesn’t make you a bad person. But thankfully, none of my friends got accepted, they all were deferred as well. Thank god for that! I’m sure you’ll have better luck in the spring :)</p>
<p>OMG I just re read what I wrote and I sound like such a <em>insert bad word here</em>. Erm… <em>hides face in shame</em></p>

<p>Do you think that getting a B in calc is going to screw me over for every college during the regular round? I’m going to get a B, and I’m pretty worried about how adversely it will affect me.</p>
<p>@crazychic</p>
<p>LOL “thankfully, none of my friends got accepted”</p>
<p>It’s OK, we all secretly hope for that sometimes :p</p>
<p>debater a b won’y kill you, don’t worry</p>
<p>Schadenfreude.</p>
<p>First semester is over for me and I ended it with 2 B’s (Precalc and Anatomy). But I’m taking 8 classes so it shouldn’t hurt my GPA, should it?</p>
<p>@SeaSwallowed opposite problem for me. i was the only person from my school accepted even though 30-40 applied EA, and MOST of them were happy for me, but there’s this one deferred chick going on a bitter rampage behind my back telling everyone that i didn’t deserve to get in -___- i can’t help but think that in her case my schadenfreude is a bit justified</p>
<p>and @carter i don’t think it’ll be too big a burden on your GPA at all! :)</p>
<p>Luckily, I don’t have to worry about the whole “my friend got/didn’t get accepted” They are all going to community college. But I feel real bad for all of you who do have to deal with that, I’m sure it’s not easy :/</p>
<p>Well, everyone who applied with their friend had to know that there was a slight chance that one would get accepted and the other one not…I wouldn’t feel bad. UChicago is MINE. I dare one of my friends to show interest…</p>
<p>@ultrachromatic Congrats! I wish I had your problem…</p>
<p>@carter001 UChicago was my top choice for a long time before it became my friend’s top choice. I figured from the moment she told me it was her top choice that she would get in, and I knew that my decision was a toss-up. So I’m not surprised at all about what happened. I just wished something had happened differently.</p>
<p>Anyone else really curious what this year’s essays were like? With the prompts this year they must have been so cool (I mean they always are but still). In a way I’m a bit jealous of the admissions officers, getting to read all the essays, especially since with such awesome deferrees I bet they were all pretty sweet</p>
<p>yeah i bet they’re awesome 
anyone know if the letter of interest is supposed to be a continuation of why uchicago? for some reason i’m freaking out over writing it. i don’t know what to say and i’m terrified it will sound bad. seriously i’m reacting worse to this than getting the deferral.</p>
