Also, there's an optional section on the app that asks to "list honors." What are you all doing there? If honors are already on our resume, does that section not apply?

I essentially just wrote it all out again. Can't hurt, right?

This is my thinking as well.

Checking in! Love this place. A month ago I'd hoped to submit this week but I was too slow to ask for LORs. Good luck to everyone who has or is about to--I'm feeling very envious right about now.

Checking in. Will be applying to UChicago (just some final tweaks with the Personal Statement and I'll be submitting today or tomorrow). Unfortunately, my numbers make me very borderline, but I'm a reasonably interesting candidate and UChicago is my first choice, so I'll be applying anyway.

Dude (dudette?) Welcome! And good luck How could they say no with a username like yours?

Congrats to all of you that have submitted already, it's mighty impressive being ready so early. I was planning on applying at the beginning of October and thought that was pretty good for timing, but now it feels like that's way too late!

Submitted! Does anyone know if we get an email for app received? I submitted yesterday but nothing from Chicago yet. Is there somewhere online we can check the status?

An adcomm told me they don't request the report/go complete/etc. until September 1, so I assume that's when status checkers and everything would go out

Calm down it is literally AUGUST. You'll probably get a status checker email in the next couple weeks

Calm down it was just a question.

Thanks!

Applied today. Always kind of regretted turning down uchicago for undergrad.

Would you include the fact that you graduated with honors/distinction here, and/or merit-based scholarships? What about non-merit based scholarships?

I think you should include graduation honors/distinctions in that part. I'm including merit-based scholarships I received for my work in college (I received scholarships for my senior year bc of work in my major) but not scholarships I received when I got into college. Partly because I don't remember them.

Lol, seriously? I suppose I'd rather donate to ALS than the University of Chicago. This doesn't exactly save money, though, unless you want to risk an auto-ding for only doing the ice bucket part.

Looks like when current students did it they both dumped ice water on their heads and pledged ALS donations. But isn't the original challenge to do one or the other? Did Admissions tell you whether fee waiver hopefuls needed to do both or could do as the original challenge and pick one? (Forecast for tomorrow here: 60 and rainy.)

I think as the challenge has progressed you're now viewed as a jerk if you only dump the ice water on your head (or it looks like you just want to dump ice-water on yourself, which is a bit weird). Everyone I know who has done it also donates like $15 or $20 along with the ice-water dump.

ETA: Not calling you a jerk.

So what should we do to let them know we are going to donate? Should we just tell UChi in the email the amount we've pledged or something?
