Chicago C/O 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

Sorry if I'm being dense here, but does the 2 or 3 refer to the number of times your "status as of" date has been updated? For example, my status as of date is 04/17; if previously it was 04/12, would that mean I'm UR >2?

[The_Gavel]

The initial date would be UR1 then every subsequent change would progress to the next number. If you haven't been tracking it since the beginning it is impossible to tell. But in all likelihood you are UR 3 like the rest of us, I had those same 2 date changes as well.

[SpookySalem92]

Curses! I'll continue to hold out some form of hope, but as others have said just having a decision becomes preferable at some point; I've don't know how well my poor heart can handle another degree of uncertainty.

Anyone hear on scholarship negotiations? starting to get anxious since most school deposit deadlines have passed.

Nope, but same.

What day did y'all submit your scholarship review form? I got an email from Kevin Petty last week telling me that the scholarship committee is reviewing my form, but they won't have a decision for me by the April 15th deadline that I gave, now I'm just really anxious because I decided not to deposit at the school I got a full ride at.

Huh, I never received an email that they were reviewing -- but my closest deadline is on the 21st. I submitted 2 weeks ago.

[poptart123]

Also never received an email

I hear you. I'm in a similar situation and had to decline the scholarship offer last week. I submitted my form on March 31st, but, like other posters here, I also never got an email back. Feeling frustrated and screwed, although I've already decided (unofficially) on Chicago.

Literally going to deposit the second I get my reconsideration form back.. Just don't wanna 'shoot myself in the foot' prior to that.

I would call that school and ask them to reconsider and ask to deposit there immediately. Then I would wait for UChi's response.

It's not really cool to blow a deadline like that, and I'm sorry it happened to you. I hope it works out and that, if it's reasonable, we see you in the fall

Aw, Chicago sent me a nice email thanking me for interviewing with them. None of the other schools did that

Was the interview pretty standard if you don't mind my asking? Like basically why u chicago, why law, and something on the resume? Mine is on the 24th so im trying to prepare

[muchado222]

I went UR4 yesterday...no interview. Expecting a ding or WL today or tomorrow - anybody else?

Well...

Glass half empty: I would be very disappointed.

Glass half full: My mom would probably be thrilled, because she's made no efforts to hide the fact that she doesn't want me to move to Chicago haha.

I applied very late, right before the deadline, went complete 3/15 and UR1 today. Is it possible to go from UR1 to acceptance relatively soon? If it doesn't come in the next week with $ up front, I'm not sure I'd even be able to consider them.

Does Chicago ever admit people and offer $ at the same time, without financial aid paperwork? If not, I doubt I could really do anything with their acceptance, since I'm in the thick of scholarship negotiations at two schools and I doubt I could get Chicago's financial aid paperwork done AND get a response from them by the end of next week.

Highly unlikely, especially since they would almost certainly want to interview you before admitting you. IDK about fin aid. There's a chance things might go a bit faster for you since you're at the tail end of applicants, but at the same time it could still take over a month (I went complete mid Feb and went UR1 3/1..I've been among those getting date changes with no interview so I'm expecting a ding this week or so)

Hmph. I hear it's cold up there anyway.

It is. In my hometown, a mere 3 hours hours south, it is currently 81. Here it is 49.

Which day of the week does Chicago tend to send ding waves and waitlist waves? Is there a pattern?

[WordsworthIsBae]

Just got waitlisted!
