I’m surprised no one started this already. Anyone hear anything? I’ve been under review since 5/7. Applying ED, T20, top 10%.

does anyone know when they usually start sending out decisions, or when they have begun doing so historically?

T1 top ~12% (we don't have rankings yet but I think this is where my GPA placed in past years). Probably a reach but I would love to go!!

Yes - I did the ED interview - be sure to read the interview FAQs, expect questions like why do you want to transfer, why to UoC, and about your 1L experience. Best of luck!

Hey, did anyone know when will UChicago release the decision?

Will they send another round of interview?

Yes, I have done it. Interviewer said that they will release decision in 3 weeks. I just wonder whether I hear it wrong.

I think previous years some people got in without one. So don’t lose hope :)

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
