Have you ever thought that maybe your daughter wants to attend UChicago? Maybe the fact that she received the mailing opened her up to the idea of attending a school that, as you yourself said, “was not even on the map” before, but is actually appealing to her after finding out about it?

<p>Ha ha! Bumping this thread because it’s funny to look back almost a year later and see how far we’ve come. As of yesterday afternoon, my DD is now officially a member of the University of Chicago Class of 2018. I thought they were just teasing her with mailings to increase their applications and ranking. Turns out I was wrong and DD was right all along. UChicago really did want her. She applied and was accepted EA in December. We visited campus in January and both fell in love, despite the snow, ice, and 18 degree temp. She had to wait for Ivy rejections yesterday before fully committing her heart and soul to UChicago. With that distraction now behind her, she is eager to start the next chapter of her life in Chicago this fall. I could not be more happy or proud.</p>
