Interesting. I'm registered for Feb, too, but didn't bother notifying any schools because I think my numbers are pretty strong as is, and I'm mostly retaking to help me out $$$-wise. But maybe I'll get held everywhere a decision hasn't been made already yet. Well, I guess it doesn't matter to me other than I'm impatient :lol:

Did they tell you they are holding it anyways?
Yes, they said that there were going to change my app to incomplete and wait for my new score anyways. Maybe they were already planning on WL/Dinging me and they are actually being nice by waiting
Has your status checker changed back to incomplete? Sorry for all the questions, this is good info! Thank you!
Yes, it changed to incomplete. Now my app technically won't be compelete until after the deadline has passed, but I'm sure that if they did this that they are making an exception since my app was sent in November
Ok now this is interesting! Did you have an interview before registering for Feb? I just checked my status and I'm still UR2 (had my interview in November and was UR2 right after), even though I'm registered for a retake...

What do we think the chances are for a wave today? Looks like first acceptances came out on the 11th last year.

Seeing as no one has reported going UR4 yet, I think chances are slim for acceptances. But really hoping for UR4 action today.

Edit: I'm not sure if UR4 is sufficient or necessary for admission, but lots of ppl on last year's thread had them when I looked, so I'm assuming we'd see at least a few before any admits.

I doubt it would be something they hold against you! I'm glad it was just a misunderstanding and not a blatant disregard for your preferences lol

This will have zero impact on your chances. Chicago isn't going to accept, waitlist, or reject you based on their inability to read your email. If anything, it annoyed them that they made the mistake, then they spent 15 seconds to fixed it and moved on with their day. I swear some of you people have the most bizarre paranoias.
Eh their nervous; they will look back on it and laugh.

Hi I know it matters like zero percent but can someone tell me if I'm UR2 or UR3 pls

I went UR1 in like...October or November no me acuerdo (I submitted late October)
The date changed on 12/20 or 12/22 or whenever the interview invite went out
Had my interview Friday
Then the date changed again to 1/15???? Aka yesterday aka Sunday aka The Lord's Day???????????

I'm inclined to think I'm UR3 since this is the third date but isn't UR3 "second committee read"? Is the committee getting together on Sunday?????? At church??????????????

I was lamenting to a friend that I have yet to go UR1 despite being complete for a little over a month, and he responded, without missing a beat, "The University of Chicago will review your application just as soon as the free market demands it." So, um, I guess Sunday or no Sunday the market conditions were right.

Also, yes, I interpret that as UR3.
