I'm so impatient!

Y'all think there's any chance of us finding out this next week?

Any movement for anyone?

Invited to interview

Invited to interview too

fmp2017 · Post by **fmp2017** » Tue May 19, 2015 5:20 pm

Got an interview request too.

Is this good news or are we on the fence?

Got an interview request too. I don't see how it could be bad news. They could've just deferred us if they were really unsure

Interview request as well

KanyeShrug · Post by **KanyeShrug** » Tue May 19, 2015 6:10 pm

No interview invite.

Hope y'all do well!

Yes! Too bad they're already out

Also I decided not to ED - think I'll wait it out and see what happens. Good luck to those of you hearing back in the next week or so!

Does anyone have any idea whether the interview is a good sign or not?

I know Northwestern interviews almost, if not all, applicants, however, I have never heard of such a thing for U of C. Being an eternal pessimist, I assumed the interview request signaled a fringe candidate. I know they have a new dean of admissions, so even last year's interview data may not be relevant.

fmp2017 · Post by **fmp2017** » Wed May 20, 2015 8:00 am

Well my significant other attends U of C already... and I was told that they are trying to interview more students because in the past U of C has been known to have socially awkward students and they are trying to make a conscious effort to change that. Also his orientation was like 2 weeks long and they made him go on an overnight retreat to get to know his classmates and be social. He was interviewed and most of his classmates were also interviewed. So I'd say its most likely a good thing, but I am not sure just how many they interview.

ckt419 · Post by **ckt419** » Wed May 20, 2015 12:15 pm

My understanding is that the trend is to only interview candidates they are considering, and to interview (almost) all of them. I think it's a good sign!

fmp2017 · Post by **fmp2017** » Wed May 20, 2015 3:54 pm

Does anyone know the typical amount of students they select for ED compared to regular transfer admissions?

gwesia · Post by **gwesia** » Thu May 21, 2015 9:01 am

How were people's interviews?

iaiava · Post by **iaiava** » Thu May 21, 2015 10:49 am

I don't think they begin until next week?

Interviews are being scheduled as early as today. Anybody know what will be asked?

sandwhich · Post by **sandwhich** » Thu May 21, 2015 11:05 am

I had mine, I think it went well

iaiava · Post by **iaiava** » Thu May 21, 2015 11:17 am

Are interviews only for ED applicants or all transfer applicants?

Lawya4lyfe · Post by **Lawya4lyfe** » Fri May 22, 2015 9:41 am

Been lurking for awhile thought I'd make an account; had my interview, but I don't think it went well at all; interviewer was unfriendly essentially from the start; am I cooked? Anyone know if the interview is the final cut?

gwesia · Post by **gwesia** » Fri May 22, 2015 11:55 am

Why don't you think it went well?

Interviewer was unfriendly/annoyed from the beginning, and only seemed to get more so as the interview went on, it seemed like he/she kept glancing at his/her watch, and it was far from conversational...although to be honest from the time I signed on his/her demeanor made it seem like I didn't have a chance

Rough week for me...

That's shitty I'm sorry. Hopefully it won't affect your application that much!

Hoping to hear soon...
