*Was waitlisted. Composed an ode to UChicago to express continued interest. Featuring this opening paragraph:
In my short 17 years, I've fallen off swings. I've fallen down stairs. Last summer (to my mother's horror), I almost fell off the Grand Canyon. But I can definitely say that I've never fallen for anything (or anyone) As hard as I've fallen for UChicago.
Also featuring this brilliant stanza (twice!):
Oh UChicago, Oh UChicago, I love you so, Dear UChicago.
Somehow, the admissions office was not persuaded to admit me.
