<p>Am I the only one feeling angry about the extended deadline? </p>
<p>I chose to cross out several colleges (which also had deadline Jan 1) from my list so that I would have more time to work on my UChicago application. I treated UChicago as “top priority” and worked hard to get my application done on time, and now they simply give “a couple” extra days? It seems to me that the extended deadline hurts students who want an UChicago acceptance letter bad enough to work hard and get everything done on time. </p>
<p>Also, I cannot believe I didn’t even receive an email warning such extension. I only found out that the deadline was extended because I follow their tumblr (but I had already submitted my application by that time). It could at least have been better communicated…</p>
<p>I absolutely love UChicago, but I honestly am very disappointed… Extending the deadline does not meet the image of “rigorous university” UChicago has.</p>
