<p>I have this fantasy of starting a band on the U Chicago campus and then dropping out Junior year due to immense success. After 7 years, we vanish from the Music scene to pursue our academic interests and some of us even end up with professorships, except for the bassists who overdoses on heroin at 27. </p>
<p>I should write a book. </p>
<p>that sounds like a very intriguing book</p>
<p>i have this fantasy of getting into uchicago</p>
<p>@Awflapjackz The only difference is that mine is more likely to happen 
</p>
<p>I only joke. Perhaps I’m too cruel. I apologize. </p>
<p>@Esat936 Honestly, I think it’s more fun to see the small groups. They care more about what they’re doing haha.</p>
<p>I would read that book.</p>
<p>Honestly, if I somehow get in, I don’t think it’ll actually feel real. Ugh I hate waiting.</p>
<p>@Esat936 funny thing is that you’re probably right!</p>
<p>@staystreet I think it really depends. I like the unpolished sound but some bands just don’t know how to sound nice live, especially if they don’t have technicians. </p>
<p>I hate the waiting too but I’m just trying to focus on my work. If I get accepted, I won’t send any more applications unless the financial aid is awful, but I’m finding writing essays for other schools really difficult right now. </p>
<p>@Awflapjackz </p>
<p>Haha don’t have such a defeatist attitude. It’s good to be realistic, but this is meant to be an experience, and it will be impossible to get any joy out of it if you don’t reserve some hope. That’s what makes it exciting. </p>
<p>I just try not to think of it at all, I’m holding all of my emotion down right now but I think that when the email comes I’ll just explode. But I’m kind of in this state where I don’t really care. I mean, I’ll be over the moon if I get accepted, but how long will that last, a month, max? If I don’t, I have to write a few more, wait until April, and perhaps get accepted to a school on the same level or perhaps a bit bellow that of U Chicago. It’s a bit sad, and I wish I was feeling more, but I tend to have a calm disposition. So I’m just continuing to go about my life, reading as much as I ever had. </p>
<p>@wethemusicmakers Yeah there must be a glitch or something… Someone on the Yale discussion said the same thing happened with last year’s thread. Anyways, I hope it’s not 8:00 lol</p>
<p>@Esat936 haha, you’re definitely right. i just kind of sway between a completely pessimistic attitude and a more positive one.</p>
<p>whatever happens at this point, happens.</p>
<p>and i think you’re right about the glitch, @alleycat2. they were talking about on the washu thread where the thread from the prior year had 11 am or something when they actually received the decisions closer to the evening </p>
<p>Since some people got in to their ED schools and are withdrawing their UChicago app, does that mean they will admit more people from EA or will they save those spots for RD?</p>
<p>Probably doesn’t matter. UChicago made their decisions on all of us days ago.</p>
<p>^Somehow that’s not reassuring </p>
<p>I think it really depends. If there were applicants that were neck and and neck then yes, maybe they will accept some last second, but there’s really no way we can know. I doubt ea rates will sway that much either way, this is a triviality and you guys should spend your time thinking of more important things</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well…I can’t really phrase it optimistically. I just don’t think ED acceptances at other schools withdrawing EA apps from UChicago will influence our chances of getting in at all, since the admissions office has already decided our inevitable fates days ago. They are only waiting to finally deliver the coup de grâce tomorrow evening.</p>
<p>@staystreet whoa that sounds crazy about Cage the Elephant! It’s a really cool show though. </p>
<p>And I’m on break so without school to distract me I will spend all of Wednesday glued to my computer, refreshing and panicking. Except the hour or so I’m at the dentist lol</p>
<p>and @Esat936, that’s a good point. this decision isn’t the end of the world. But from this side, it seems extremely important haha.</p>
<p>I hope I’m not disrupting a conversation or anything, but I just wanted to say good luck to everyone tomorrow! Have a good night’s sleep before the emails start coming through!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m going to go on a limb here and say that the decision is most definitely the end of the world.</p>
<p>Thanks @jedio123 
you too!</p>
<p>we will know our fates in twenty four hours or so!</p>
<p>@Ctesiphon I sure hope it’s not. We’ll see though. Just don’t be surprised if the moment you click to see your decision, a hoard of bloodthirsty zombies surrounds you.</p>
