I realize this post is probably better suited to the Student Board, but since I know people who don't read that board, I figured I'd post it here. I hope no one yells at me.
So anyway, I got into the University of Chicago (Early Action), and I'm very excited!!

Congratulations!
That's wonderful news!
And, what fun to have your college decision made so early in the year... now you can enjoy your 'senior spring' without worrying about it.
I'm very happy for you.

Thanks, everyone!
My decision is actually not completely made, Addy. It's non-binding, so I am applying to other schools, just so I have options. U of C is my second choice, with Columbia being my first. I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but it's a comfort to know that I don't have to be worrying until March.

Options are wonderful to have!
I did my graduate work at Columbia, so have a soft spot in my heart for that school. It would be wonderful to have you in New York if that works out.
U of Chicago is an excellent school. Congratulations on your acceptance there.
