Hi everyone. We are all slowly starting to gather together in the office for meetings in preparation for the Early Action cycle. In my absence I received a number of pieces of mail that contained pieces of your application(s). This is not the most efficient way to send in pieces of your application. You should mail things to:
The University of Chicago
Office of College Admissions
1101 E. 58th St., Suite 105
Chicago, IL 60637
That way it'll get entered into the mail-opener-o-matic (i.e., us) a lot more quickly, instead of waiting for me to sort through the pile of letters on my desk and then realizing you sent me $60. Oh, that's not for me...
Also, don't panic or worry if you think we might not receive all your application documents from the various sources - you, your school, your teachers. The USPS does a good job and almost 99.99% of stuff ends up where it needs to be. If it doesn't we WILL notify you later in the cycle with enough time to resubmit appropriate materials. You do not need to call or write at this time asking if we've received materials or if they should be resubmitted.
I was in DC this weekend and visited the National Archives and saw the actual, original Constitution of the United States of America. It was pretty neat, and I recommend a visit.
Finally, please enjoy this article about the Manhattan Project: http://nytimes.com/2007/10/30/science/30manh.html?8dpc
Good luck all, and keep your heads on. You're almost through it!
