does "within the next few days" from twitter mean that could be tomorrow?

Theoretically, it does, but I would imagine that they would have explicitly said "tomorrow" if they meant "tomorrow."

I think they want to keep it an open possibility. For all we know, they could've wished to have made the calls today, but since they were busy, they had to put it off. This could also happen tomorrow. (Not sure why I am saying they, when I really mean her/she...)

It is optimism like this that has destroyed my life over the last 3 months

That was the point of the change...I am a HUGE fan, in general. Saying Dark side is my least favorite album shouldn't discredit dark side...it just shows the genius of the other albums and the band in general.

BTW...I have mad respect for "Meddle (especially the first and last track of the album; but dark side, wish u were here, animals, and the wall receive a "t4" status similar to "t14" due to their heightened popularity amongst lay people

Sorry, Managamy. She's only into guys who get accepted by Chicago and UVA. It's too bad you withdrew your applications.

you know, i applied to uchicago around the turn of the new year after reading some more about it. it wasn't originally on my list.

since then, i actually forgot i did it until yesterday when my mother reminded me bc i have heard absolutely nothing from them.....not even application received. i see from this thread that they seem to have a long lag time, but realizing i completely forgot about it was pretty amusing.

Are the girls at UCSB hot? I've heard mixed reviews. How do they compare to USC?

The girls at UCSB are less attractive, about equally as intelligent, much poorer, and more infested with STDs.

IN GENERAL and in all seriousness...

That is utter trash. UCSB girls are hotter, and know how to have fun. We have 10,000 of them on a square mile that runs along a beach. STD rate? That's one of those absurd rumors you start hearing in 10th grade when you start thinking about college that gets repeated over, and over again until it just becomes 'truth'. It's on par with colleges nationwide. Much rather have the girls at Santa Barbara than any other UC. Also, lol at the poorer comment. I hate when the beautiful girl I hook up with is wearing stuff from Nordstrom instead of Nieman Marcus!

sooo..... any decisions today?

[D Brooks]

I got an email that said "Update received." In response to the LOCI I sent yesterday afternoon.

I received an "Update received" email as well, for something I sent them over a week ago. Looks like they are catching up on emails.

I'm pretty pessimistic right now, but I can't help but think that if they were just going to fire off a bunch of WL/rejects to the 2/4 and 2/5 bunch, they'd have done it already. On the 1/28-1/29 WL/ding batch, the WL/ding e-mail came within a few hours of the 1/29 update. There hasn't been another WL/ding since then, despite the fact that several people updated from 2/4 to 2/5.

On the other hand, if they were going to accept a few more people from that batch, why wouldn't they have gone ahead and called yesterday? I mean if there were just a few leftovers after an afternoon of calling, you'd think they would've been called yesterday.

The only conclusion, then, must be that a few people from the 2/4 and 2/5 groups are being held or reviewed again. Otherwise, why the nearly two day (and counting) gap?

It doesn't mean anyone in this group is safe, but I don't think it means anyone is definitely out yet, either.

I'll say this is good analysis. Makes me hopeful, too. Either they didn't review all 2/4s before the previous admit batch or they are reviewing other people (maybe scholarship essay people) to include with the decision batch for the rest of the 2/4s.

Crossing my fingers for you, JGG!

EDIT: When they called me, I said "Who the f*ck is 773?" and pressed ignore, certain that no schools could be calling me. I then Googled the area code, slapped myself, and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to call them back (to no avail). 8 hours later, e-mail.

TLS was right. My pessimism was wrong. I've never been happier to be wrong.

That said, it is the place where fun goes to die. My sister went to Chicago for UG. It was perfect for her. I think I would enjoy it for law school. But for UG, man oh man. She had a shirt that said, on the front, "The Top 5 Party Schools in the U.S." and the list was something like:

1. University of Wisconsin, Madison
2. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
3. University of Southern California
4. University of Texas, Austin
5. University of Florida

Blatant anti-Santa Barbara trolling.

Rancid anti-Penn State trolling. Seriously, at least people in Santa Barbara, Austin and USC have locations that offer things to do that don't involve binge drinking.

Empirical evidence supplemented by a heavy course of anecdotal testimony will show that PSU should be on, if not on top, of this list.
