<p>Oh my god @wethemusicmakers I don’t think I could handle that. I hate being emotional around other people so much. No way. I really hope you get in though! I think you should go to dinner either way. The waiting is going to be over. That’s something to look forward to no matter what happens. </p>
<p>not too long to go…</p>
<p>@ogacihcu you’re right! If i can gather myself enough to act like a normal person in public, if i’m deferred/rejected i’ll suggest that to my parents. And I reallyreally hope you get in too!! </p>
<p>Do you guys think it will come out sometime soon??? Or should I stop staring at my inbox and just wait until 5 pm? </p>
<p>@Tazmar314 it will be at least two hours I think! Because “late afternoon” could be 12 at the earliest, and probably later. </p>
<p>you think they could come out that early? </p>
<p>Yea 12pm is generally when the afternoon begins, so that might be too early. Late afternoon to me would be anytime after 3pm.</p>
<p>I’m trying so hard to not check CC because I feel like I’m channeling everyone’s anxiety as I read each post lol. Please UChicago be nice to me today, I can’t handle another deferral, or worse a rejection </p>
<p>i want this so badly!</p>
<p>@Awflapjackz, I’ve been rooting for you and @alleycat2 to get in, you guys have been on here the most and I can tell you both want this badly, as we all do</p>
<p>In a presumptuous move, I put aside enough money to pay the enrollment deposit today if accepted lol #wishfulthinking </p>
<p>yeah I am hoping for 2 or 3, 12 would be too early for me.
@Anduar3 same, but I already know I can’t make myself log out of CC haha. And you can handle any decision they throw at you today! Maybe UChicago won’t be as dumb as those other schools.</p>
<p>I’m at work now and I can’t focus because of this. I’m gonna listen to @sofritachipotle and grab some chipotle later to calm me down </p>
<p>I read somehqere that traditioanlly ~10% of deferred students are admitted rd. and the rd rate is 4% overall…so the 10% makes sense</p>
<p>Got a big thick envelope from UChicago this morning. Turned out to be some promotional stuff, a huge wall poster, etc. You have now idea how I felt!!! I knew that it could not possibly be the decision letter so early, but still. My hands were shaking as I was opening the envelope. Nice beginning of the decision day, eh?
I’m an international, so I guess it should have arrived a bit earlier…
Anyway, good luck to all of you, guys! :)</p>
<p>@KatherynP Someone had the same thing happen to them on the facebook page. Not sure if it was you but that must have been quite horrible. Anyway, good luck!</p>
<p>This is on the admissions page at U of C website: “As we prepare to release your admissions decision on December 17th, we want to take this moment to say “thank you” – you are ALL amazing. You have challenged yourself to explore meaning through language’s untranslatable words, to express your personality in terms of acids, bases, and buffers, and to successfully explore the oddity of odd numbers. You are among the most brilliant, ambitious, and academically qualified students in the world. We feel privileged to have shared in your ideas and accomplishments, and to have gotten to know you.Best wishes to you all,
James G. Nondorf
Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid”</p>
<p>@KatherynP Oh my god I think that might have taken me out haha. Maybe it’s a positive sign?</p>
<p>The official UChicago class of 2019 group is up and it already has a few students in it…ahhh I’m too nervous to request to join to see if I was accepted. I’ll just wait until later :-S </p>
<p>@Esat936 yeah it was me</p>
<p>@ogacihcu at this point I look for positive signs everywhere, haha.</p>
<p>I’m a Brown student '19 (ED admit), so I have no stake in today’s decisions. But, I have some friends waiting on UChicago decisions and know what you guys are going through since we were there just a few short days ago. Just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck today!</p>
<p>@lax1997 Thanks!</p>
