在等芝加哥大学的提前录取通知，说是星期五下午，等到四点的时候，才有几个Deferral的出来，4点44分的时候，才有一个说是被录取了，是一个来自NY的亚裔男孩：

Objective: SAT I and/or ACT (breakdown): 2300 (800 CR, 790 W, 710 M)，SAT II (place score in parentheses): 780 US History, 800 Math II。Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 94.8/100。Rank/Percentile: Does not rank。AP (place score in parentheses): APUSH (4), AP World (5), AP Chem (5), AP Eng Lang (5)。Senior Year Course Load: AP Macro/AP Micro, AP US Gov/AP Comp Gov。

Reflection：Strengths: Standardized tests, UChi LOVES our school (we send a crazy amount of kids there), essays, recs.。Weaknesses: CA essay and interview。Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: My UChi supps were really good imo. Also, again, they love my school。Where else you are applying or have already applied: Rejected, Wharton ED. Accepted, SUNY Binghamton. Update: Accepted, UMich! General Comments/Advice/Hindsight: I feel shocked right now. So happy. So relieved. Getting rejected from Penn was a hard blow, but this makes me feel really really good。

不过这个男孩说曾被油喷拒绝，应该是有问题的，如果没问题，这人也是够傻的。因为油喷的提前申请，是有限制的，不可以同时申请油喷和芝加哥大学的，虽然芝加哥大学没有申请的限制，可是如果有人去向全国招生委员会举报，芝加哥大学最终是不会录取他的，即便是录取了，也最终会取消他的录取资格。因为这属于欺诈行为，对别的正常申请的小孩不公平，是非常严肃的事情。姐姐的学校，去年就有一个黑人女孩被哈佛大学提前录取了，可是她又同时提前申请了其他的学校，结果就被别的美国同学的家长给举报了，最后不但哈佛大学取消了这个女孩的录取资格，连其他名牌学校，也都不录取，最后这个女孩子只好到州里的大学去念书了，顺带还影响，学弟学妹们的录取。生活，就应该是这样，干干净净做事，规规矩矩做人，来不得半点投机取巧。有牵牛的，有拔橛子的，没逮住算你侥幸，逮住了算你活该。

对这种情况，看看油喷的招生网站是怎么说的吧:

Early Decision applications are binding and represent a serious commitment to Penn. In signing the Early Decision agreement, a student agrees to withdraw applications from all other schools if admitted to Penn. Further, Early Decision applications supersede any non-binding Early Action applications.

A student may apply Early Decision to only one institution. Accordingly, if a student applies Early Decision to the University of Pennsylvania and to another school, the Early Decision application to Penn will be withdrawn.

5点40分的时候，有一个北卡州的小黑男，也说被芝加哥大学录取了：

Objective: SAT I and/or ACT (breakdown): Critical Reading 750 Math 710 Writing 700。SAT II (place score in parentheses): Didn't send。GPA (out of 4.3): 3.78 (School doesn't do weighted/unweighted)。Rank/Percentile: School doesn't rank. AP (place score in parentheses): Chemistry - 5, World History - 4, Calculus BC - 5, APUSH - 5, Biology - 4, Literature - 5。IB (place score in parentheses): N/A。Senior Year Course Load: Shakespeare, AP Physics C, AP Econ, AP Stat, Chinese IV, Band。Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): National Honor Society, Merit Scholarship at school, Dean's list (once), Honor Roll (a few times).

Reflection：Strengths: Essays and Extracurriculars。Weaknesses: Probably my test scores。Why you think you were accepted: Essays were really strong. Also I had a lot of extra curricular stuff。Where else you are applying or have already applied: Princeton, Wake, Cornell, Colby, Grinnell, Columbia, Northwestern (RD), UNC and NC State (EA)。General Comments/Advice/Hindsight: I felt really good about my essay. Originally it was written on a more personal level, but an admissions officer told me that the supplement needed to be a representation of how I think, so I was able to rewrite it.
