<p>Hey student from Texas. I want to get in as bad as the next person but I am always reminded that its not where you go but what you do during your time that makes it important. No point in worrying about what can not be controlled and i’m sure there is a college for all of us to excel in. Personally for me, UChicago is my top choice but it depends if I can even afford it. If not i’m fortunate enough to have a spot in the Honors College at UT Austin. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Less then 48 hours guys! I know we’ll all end up at the best fit school for us. We’re all amazing applicants and amazing people. Don’t lose hope in the last few hours!</p>
<p>Sooo, any clue if our decisions will be in our face immediately after we log-in, or do we have to click something? And I heard if you get in there are financial aid letters below…so does seeing only one letter mean anything orrrr…? Sorry, I’m just nervous. </p>
<p>@Localdreamer15, not if u didn’t apply financial aid but still get in, there won’t be any financial letter</p>
<p>@mahoushojo I did apply for financial aid</p>
<p>@Jamesesesess I guess I could say I was deferred… For QuestBridge I ranked 1. UChicago and 2. NU and didn’t match for any. Like you, those two schools have been my priorities, UChicago the first and NU the second. I could have gotten my app transferred to NU ED after QB College Match but chose not to because I really, really wanted to get into UChicago EA. So my app is now in RD pool for NU. I mean, UChicago is just irresistable, right? I love their house division system too! Very quirky and Hogwarts-y 
</p>
<p>When would the letters arrive? I guess they depend on the area you live in? Prob not on this Wednesday…? lol</p>
<p>Rejected from Cornell, hoping for Chicago! Any people from Eastern Europe?</p>
<p>No, but my ancestors are from Croatia. That’s pretty close, isn’t it?</p>
<p>I am excited to be accepted by UChicago. I will be accepted and nobody can do anything about it.</p>
<p>Like your nickname (though I prefer Herodotus) - I lived most of my life in Russia, and I hope that this will not hinder me. I am applying for polisci and my main ideas in essays were about the root of problem of my country and my aspiration to make changes.</p>
<p>Sorry misread Ctesiphon and Xenophon</p>
<p>OH, man. Last two days are going to be horrible :(( </p>
<p>@kateko I got an email about international scholarships too, so I don’t think it means anything. I am not a Hispanic stundent, so mine mentioned just the international scholarships. I just cannot understand why they send those emails to us just a few days before the decision, when nothing can be changed.</p>
<p>@Maximio I am from Eastern Europe too (Romania to be more precise). I don’t think that the geographical location has any influence over the admission decision. At least this is what they are saying.</p>
<p>@geoarts That is very wishful thinking. Acceptance rate are lower for internationals and if a school has too many Easter Europeans or North Africans the admit rates will be lower for those locations.</p>
<p>today is the last full day of waiting. i can’t believe this is happening tomorrow. i am terrified! </p>
<p>but it also sucks how our discussion here will come to a close soon. i hope that you’re all admitted! </p>
<p>i do need to follow my own advice, but honestly, don’t stress out today. it isn’t worth it. get something to distract you, and everything that’s supposed to happen tomorrow will fall into place. 
</p>
<p>Will there be letters or emails?</p>
<p>you will receive an email indicating that your decision is available on your uchicago account, and eventually accepted applicants receive mail also</p>
<p>Hey guys! It’s Totally Chill Tuesday today, so do something that you find relaxing: stay home and listen to soundscapes (or go to school and secretly listen to soundscapes), let everything out in dance class, watch a cat video marathon; or if relaxing isn’t your thing, you can always run an actual marathon (in prep for next year’s Chicago Marathon, of course). Whatever happens, the worst you will do is survive 
</p>
<p>Deferred from my ED school yesterday, probably because I requested so much aid. I don’t know but I don’t feel extremely heavy like I thought. Maybe I like UChicago more but the chance of getting into is so small… Two tests tomorrow, so maybe day will pass more quickly. Good luck to everybody!! I hope everybody will get in! </p>
