Haha, I know a few defer/accepts who were admitted into other schools and sort of fell out of love with Chicago. I guess it’s healthy for people to make their own decisions rather than feel like the fate of their life is up to an adcom.

Rather than go on another I-hate-admissions rant (I’m always up for those), I’ll just congratulate you on your college acceptances. I have confidence that you’ll find people you admire and love at Dartmouth-- FOUR of my childhood best friends currently attend. They would also love Chicago, as they would love almost any school in the country. It’s good to remember that awesome people do exist outside of the U of C world!
