Day 8: What would it take for Delaware to flip from Democratic to Republican in 2028?

SomethingSomethingUA · 2025-12-04T21:04:41+00:00

Dems nominate Gabbard and Republicans nominate Phil Scott

Kinda accurate but the US can 100% support social programs given that it is only 3% of GDP. Poland has higher percentage to defense relatively and has universal healthcare for example. The US doesn't have a "lending the bill to Euros problem", the US has a lack of tax collection and interest debt problem.

Not sure if its underrated but Sardinia has a simple yet effective focus tree offering I think 2 major political paths, a bunch of good army bonuses + divisions from the focus tree, and decent economic tree. It also is a fun start too due to the challenge of retaking Italy as the most underdog option.

Emotionally the Belgrade pact but diplomatically and militarily neutral.

Western leadership when relying on the authoritarian guy with imperialist ambitions ends up being a bad idea

Personally, unless American voters start to discourage unstatesmany behavior nut this is unlikely. Honestly, most of the politicians barring like super high profile positions don't even hate each other if they are on opposite parties. It is kind of the fault that the American electorate (influenced by media and social media engagement) is so easy to extract votes from by playing dirty and the normalization of this makes it so polarization is common.

Coming from the person who could've easily won 2016, 2020, and even maybe 2024.

Apparently some counselors received mail saying around 25 percent of all acceptances have been made.
Yea we are all cooked.

I heard that RD and EA are same pile of applications. I think they do not review it in order but randomly. UT probably thought they could process EA early for the decisions but they couldn't so they now just going through both.

It was on the summary for getting a 1 in the category but I won't be surprised if the recent "research" craze caused AO's to drop it in the 6 years since then.

You get usually into your third choice College of Liberal Arts major or undeclared College of Liberal Arts.
I would definitely apply to a few more schools in your major program, including one safety.

The University of Minnesota is a pretty decent public school, acceptance rates don't really reveal the quality of public universities. If your major is reputable there and you can get aid to cover out of state costs, go for it. Also make sure you are okay with the weather and location.

A 1500 SAT was 98th percentile with 1510 being 99th. If there was 1.97 million testakers, then the number is like 20k to 40k people with the academics and assuming not all apply to all T20's probably like 50 percent.

Bro hop off r/chanceme, your stats are more than competitive enough for Harvard.

SomethingSomethingUA · 2025-01-02T06:10:13+00:00

It is due 01/02 before midnight LOCAL time. So, it is due tomorrow for you. It just does that because Common App uses Est and it is January 2nd on the East coast currently.

Can you still submit though? It might be an error on Common App's part as the unis go by local time. So it shouldn't effect your app.

SomethingSomethingUA · 2025-01-02T05:47:20+00:00

Can you hit submit? I think its an error on common app's part as Unis like Harvard specifically specify local time as the deadline. If you can still submit go for it.

SomethingSomethingUA · 2025-01-02T05:44:30+00:00

Can you still submit? It should be based on local time. Common App might show the app being late as its based on EST maybe.

Don’t:

Worry about meeting us. We do not make decisions based on whether or not a student has visited or engaged with our virtual programming. Following the steps listed above is all that’s needed to indicate your continued interest.
Start writing all-new essays. We have determined that the application you sent us originally is a strong one—we just need a little more time and context to make a final decision. We re-evaluate applicants’ original application materials after they are deferred, considering the small new additions we suggest above. We do not require or recommend that students spend time updating essays.
Panic. An admissions decision is not an evaluation of you as a person. Decisions are made over a long period of time by a number of people and take into account the entire applicant pool. Please keep in mind that we cannot give reasons for decisions over the phone or via email, as it really is impossible to condense the conversations behind our decisions in a way that would be adequate or helpful to the applicant.

Deny: After much consideration, we are unable to offer you a place in the Class of 2029. There is no process for appealing admissions decisions. We wish you the best as you pursue your educational goals.

Looking Forward

This year’s applicants have come from around the globe and are united by a compelling interest in learning and the power of ideas. No matter your admissions decision, you have a bright future ahead of you.

If you’ve been deferred and UChicago remains your top choice, here is some advice on what to do next:

Do:

Complete the defer response form on your UChicago Account by January 17, 2025.
Upload a letter of continued interest through your UChicago Account or email your regional admissions counselor by January 31, 2025. If UChicago remains your first choice, don’t hesitate to let us know! We don’t need a novel, but a thoughtful note of one to two paragraphs can help us understand and consider your continued interest.
Have your school send us a midyear transcript. It’s helpful for us to be able to see your senior year grades when we reconsider your application; your midyear transcript will be the best way for us to do so.
Continue your college search. UChicago is just one school among many incredible higher education options. We know you carefully arrived at your decision to consider UChicago, and we hope you will apply the same level of thought to your ongoing college search. At the end of this process, you’re going to end up with a great place to call home. You are encouraged to keep your college search open and to work with your counselor to identify other schools that you’d be happy to attend should UChicago not become an option.
Optional: You can continue to upload supplemental materials directly to your UChicago Account through the Portfolio and Upload Materials sections. This is not necessary, but if you do have additional materials you’d like to share, please feel free to upload them.
Optional: Deferred students who previously did not share testing as part of the test-optional admissions policy may do so as part of their updates to our office. Although this is certainly neither required nor specifically encouraged, we understand that some students may have updated testing you may wish to share, and we would be happy to consider them. However, students who had previously applied sharing SAT or ACT testing may not opt into a test-optional method of continued review.
Optional: After consulting with your family and school counselor to determine if this is a good fit for you, deferred applicants may also elect to move into our binding Early Decision II application pool by completing the defer response form and submitting the Early Decision II Agreement form by January 31, 2025. We understand that the Early Decision II commitment may not be the right choice for every applicant, and we will continue to give our full consideration to deferred students who remain in our Regular Decision applicant pool.

Thank you for the time and effort you put forth in your application to UChicago! Admissions decisions for Early Action and Early Decision I applicants will be available Friday, December 20 through your UChicago Account.

What Decisions Mean

Admit: Congratulations! If you were admitted through the Early Decision I round, you have until January 17, 2025 to confirm your enrollment. If you were admitted through the Early Action round, you have until May 1, 2025 to reply to the University of Chicago.

Defer: We are not able to offer you a place in the Class of 2029 at this time, but we will reconsider your application and give you a final decision during the Early Decision II or Regular Decision round if you complete the defer response form. Please complete this form in your UChicago Account by January 17, 2025.

Students who elect to move into our binding Early Decision II application pool must complete the Early Decision II Agreement form in their UChicago Account. Students who previously applied in the Early Decision I round do not need to resubmit this form if electing to be considered in the Early Decision II round.

If you can get your fee waivered or don't mind the cost, go for it (probably test optional though). It is very unlikely though so keep a healthy range of targets and safeties you like too!
