Went to "Under Review" today.

Same here, looks like they're reviewing the first batch of the applications they received. Do you know when they'd reach out for interviews, if they do? I need to find a good laptop since mine freezes regularly during skype calls.

3.7 from Chicago area school. No rank until after first full year but the last 3 years had 10% at 3.65. Finally went complete today. My school jerked me around since April 29th on getting my Law School Cert Letter out. I am hoping that being late to the party doesn't screw my chances at ED, especially because it was outside of my control.

It's incredibly hard to find lateral transfer information. I want to maximize my transfer possibilities from Michigan, and am wondering how much better Early Decision is? I think I was about top half of class (maybe a bit higher, we don't get rankings until we graduate) and expect my second semester grades to bump me up a bit. Is it worth the wait, or should I put in the binding transfer app now?

It's Chicago the only place you want or?

[Dactyl08]

Just a quick update. App went complete on 5/9, UR today. Does anyone know if the decisions will be released as one batch at the end of May or on a rolling basis?

Curious, is ED Transfer to Chicago easier than regular traditional transfer to Chicago?

[Uncle Jack Kelly]

Anyone hear anything yet? From reading the 2015 thread it appears that interviews were offered around this time.

Has anyone heard anything at all yet?

Nothing other than the "Application Complete" email, but mine also came in hot on the deadline this week. Whoops.

Yes, much.

Yes, much.

I have no reason to doubt you, but this just doesn't seem true. I feel like Chicago can be just as selective as it wants... They'd really only be trying to get people through the binding ED who have a real shot at YHS, who don't seem like they'd apply ED anyway. Maybe to snag people from Columbia and NYU? I don't know, I'm just rambling to avoid doing write-on.

Surprised that no one has received an invitation to interview yet (I havent either)...it's surprising given the highly competitive group of applicants on this thread and how previous threads confirm May 19th as the date. Of course, there is no incentive to hide an invitation as it is only good news.

[Uncle Jack Kelly]

I only saw last year with May 19th as the interview date. Maybe i missed it, but i didnt see anythhing in the 2014 thread. Im getting kind of nervous, has anyone heard anything

[Uncle Jack Kelly]

Offered interview 8:00pm EST

I havent posted much before, but some stats on me 3.8gpa school is ranked between 45-60. Good summer job, and engineering degree
