uocHilarious!  Eric received the following email from University of Chicago encouraging him to meet their early application deadline.  I got a giggle out of several of these, especially # 7.  Reaching out to kids with a sense of humor is greatly appreciated!

Top Ten Reasons You Should Turn In Your Early Action Application on Sunday

1. Dean Nondorf wants You! To apply to the University of Chicago.

2. Winter will be SO MUCH WARMER, comparatively.  To January 20, 1985.

4. Turning in a college application is a time honored All Saint's Day tradition.

5. Procrastinating is only cool and fun once you're in college.
