Assuming you'll be headed to H or Y/S depending? Or are you actually considering Chicago

Can anyone shed some light on when OCI bidding commences and/or closes for Chicago?

I'm trying to assess beyond what date it is entirely pointless to transfer (since access to Chicago market is a big reason in this decision for me)

Bidding list for non-transfers is due July 16th.

OCI is during the entire 2nd week of August. :mrgreen:

I emailed them last week. It was a standard response that they're still reviewing the application, they don't have a set date or timeline to release decisions, they will let me know as soon as possible, etc etc

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
