<p>I already ate all of my consolation swedish fish ]:</p>
<p>I’d say go and get some more … you’ll need it for the weekend.</p>
<p>I’d say share some with me XD</p>
<p>15th sounds like most likely release date now.</p>
<p>I’m okay with that. What’s another couple days?</p>
<p>Do they release on weekends ever?</p>
<p>stanford’s decisions were released and AHH!</p>
<p>wow…the stanfordites got pwned. it made me feel bad just reading it.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t apply to Stanford EA… although I guess it wouldn’t have made a difference.</p>
<p>Well I guess it would have, in that I wouldn’t be here during this month, but still.</p>
<p>I have this horrible feeling we’re going to get pwnd. </p>
<p>Must… think… happy… thoughts…</p>
<p>I’m so nervous D:</p>
<p>I don’t know whether I want to stay positive or be miserable until it comes. Do I want the crash to hurt more now or later?</p>
<p>I’m going to make a prediction:
I bet they mailed the decisions today and will send us emails Monday.</p>
<p>didn’t chicago have a 34% acceptance rate last year??? because that does not = Stanford…we will own Chicago by the end of the 15th not the other way around, don’t worry.</p>
<p>Yeah but Chicago’s acceptance rate is always going to be a little inflated because it’s not an essay you can submit for fun.</p>
<p>I mean, you can get your Joe Average to apply to Harvard for kicks because their essay is optional, and he’ll get a nice “Thank you for the donation” back. Joe isn’t going to apply to Chicago for fun, though, because it is significantly harder to write about putting objects into a particle accelerator than it is to write nothing.</p>
<p>Oh man…I feel like we’re on a ship towards battle and seeing all these ships in front of us get set on fire. Good luck, guys.</p>
<p>Wow the Stanford people got really grilled … </p>
<p>Good news for Chicago is that EA apps went down by 15%. That SHOULD help, and the fact that Chicago has the long essay to root out those people who seek out Chicago only for its prestige. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I think alot of people will be disappointed about MIT, b/c they saw their EA apps go up by 25%.</p>
<p>Either way, don’t be too optimistic come Monday, and prepare to deal with the worst possible scenario: rejection. Rejection won’t be the end of the world though. We’ll all have different places to go to … </p>
<p>But my heart will always cry out for Chicago.</p>
<p>Everyone needs to just take a chill pill, ok? Relax for the next couple of days. When we get the decision, we get the decision. Caaaalm.</p>
<p>there are 436 posts and we still dont have a conclusive answer</p>
<p>That’s probably because the admissions office wants you to go out and have a life. :-P</p>
<p>Yes, I KNOW it can be painful, but I didn’t know when my decision was coming, either, and I somehow survived.</p>
<p>hey, unalove, do more people get deferred than rejected by uchicago?</p>
<p>The more I wait, the more I question everything about my application… but what’s done is done. =/</p>
