Color me shocked; UChicago definitely has more hipsters per capita than any school in America.

Isn't the UChicago stereotype that it's full of hard-working nerds?

I think he forgot that schools like Bard and Sarah Lawrence exist.

I've never heard of those schools and cannot say whether UChicagoans work hard as I have never visited during the schoolweek (Torie might be a better fellow to ask), but on the weekends they dress like hipsters, drink a lot of PBR and smoke a lot of cigarettes. And indulge in their knowledge of various obscurities, such as Norwegian drinking songs and infrastructure development in Nova Scotia. Super interesting and awesome people all around, but I could never thrive in that atmosphere since I'm not really an intellectual and never will be one.

Although I have visited on a day off colloquially referred to as "suicide prevention day" (maybe Torie can elaborate, if that was around when he was there), so I think the stipulation is that they do, indeed, work hard.

That is where my professor got his undergraduate degree and many students of religious studies and theology attend. Good luck but stay away from the Alinski radicals!

To all the vets out there: 13k a year in tuition is pretty manageable, right?

Are you going to accept a spot on the list?

Sounds cheaper than a UC.

11 days until Ivy decisions.  Stressful, to say the least.

I'm automatically placed on it but there's not much chance to get off unless I actively grovel at their feet for the next few months. And I wouldn't have picked Chicago over Columbia anyway unless they gave me a lot of money, which they're obviously not if they're waitlisting me. So beyond being kind of annoyed it's not really a big deal.

Rejected from UC Santa Cruz. LOL.

Also Davis, but I was expecting that.

I've started applying for grad school already, even though it's pretty early (they have it open, so I guess it isn't that early). Really, really hoping for UW and an assistantship, though.

I guess what I read about the UCs being intensely focused on grades was true...

Who cares; you're going to the University of Maryland, and that's that.  I may be trying to decide between it and other schools, but, given your interest in syntax, it is, empirically speaking, the only school you will need to go to.

I got into American. Someone who's currently on their waiting-list will be taking my spot.

April 1 is the day they release decisions for most schools that don't have rolling admissions policies.

Are you nervous? I'd be freaking out right now... Of course, you already have two excellent acceptances, so maybe your mind is at ease.
