sent my LOCI on Monday. No response yet.
When would you guys advise I send a follow-up?

Is their "don't send us things" advisory not applicable to the WL? Just making sure I'm doing all the things I should be doing...

their waitlist letter to me said I can supply them with a 2page "why chicago" by a certain deadline.

Good to know that I'm not alone! I'm just trying to figure out how Chicago is even going to fit in all their URs let alone an interview.

Same. Chicago is very suspiciously quiet. Glad to know I'm not a party of 1

I was complete 3/1 and UR as of a couple days ago...

Do we have an idea of what proportion of Chicago's class has been admitted thus far?

Edit: for those wondering, last year's class size was 186, and LSN currently reports 178 accepted. For 2015-16, LSN reported 134 accepted.

334 members on U Chicago Class 2020 Facebook, I am not sure how many adms though.

I'd bet they'll see better yield this year, what with the ranking and all.

So anytime I mention to someone at other schools that I'm strongly considering Chicago I get the same response: "everyone knows it's a great school but everyone I know there is miserable." Interestingly enough, the most of the Chicago alums I met seemed to have enjoyed their experience there (with some exceptions) but some of the other admits I've met definitely live up to the kinda awkward reputation the student body has. I know this has been discussed before, but anyone else concerned about this?

[SybillAnnDorsett]

I forgot, Chicago has a yield problem because its entire student body has that whole "Can't talk since the accident" thing.

Don't think its a problem for grad school. Know a bunch of people from UChicago undergrad and a few who went to law school and they are wildly different.

Also, think that law school might make you miserable because of how much work you have whether or not you go to Chicago

Since I have been considering U of C more I have been pushing people and the most common thing is that they know someone in undergrad, not the law school. I have met one person who didnt not enjoy their experience, but probably would not pick it again. Everyone else seems to really like it, albeit not to Michigan or UVA cult level standards.

I am still a bit concerned though.

That's definitely an undergrad reputation (that probably isn't deserved anymore, my friends who went there loved it) as the Law School is known to be super tight-knit and relaxed. They have wine mess every Friday with professors. I think they really go out of their way to make sure you have a good time. This school seems like the dream.

But Chicago the city is awesome, but it's also a cold and miserable place, so there's that.

Feb admit with scholly. I was told the Doctoroff people would hear this week if they got into the program. Guess I'm out for the doctoroff full ride (not that I had a good chance anyway)

Was this something you were told during the interview? I'm wondering whether we should expect to hear later today.

Yeah. This was something I was told in the interview. I'm guessing we should hear later today.

Do y'all know if non-named schollies (email from Kevin Petty) include need-based aid?
