Re: Chicago Class of 2014
Anyone withdraw their apps already? Starting to send them now. Annoyed that I took a shot in the dark at Harvard. Have to snail mail them a withdrawal.

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
I am so so happy to be a part of this group! I can't wait to tell my students in a few minutes. Sending out the withdrawals soon too.
Also, will email the admissions office to see if they will send the handbook to Korea. I'd rather not wait till my parents forward it.
Who is going to ASW? If I get time off of work and get a deal on a flight, I'll be there. See you all in the fall!

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
Just sent out all my withdrawal requests.
I have to say, my (Korean) relatives who "oohed" and "aahed" at my Cornell acceptance seem less enthusiastic about my UChicago acceptance I don't think any of them had really heard of it before.
I just looked up flights from Korea -> home (LA) -> Chicago -> Korea, and... whew. Steep price for ASW weekend!

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
The kids didn't understand Chicago until I explained the T14 to them. then the ooh's and aah's. Too bad about the price. Maybe I can get the parents to give me some of their frequent flyer miles...soupisgood wrote:Just sent out all my withdrawal requests.

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
I think we should get used to it. Chicago doesnt have much lay prestige, even here in the U.S., even though our current President and his latest SCOTUS nominee both were professors here in the not so distant past.sojuteacher wrote:The kids didn't understand Chicago until I explained the T14 to them. then the ooh's and aah's.

My mom, also Korean, was like: "so, Chicago huh? Are you sure you want to go there?" I think she's sad that when she's trying to brag about her son in law school, her friends wont know anything except Ivy league names and UCLA/Berkeley.

When does the facebook group start?
WRT Chicago's lay prestige I think calling Chicago the Princeton of law schools sounds about right to me.

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
Most likely end up in Regents. It's a pretty good deal for law students and one of my wife's friends lives there and has nothing but good things to say about it.trudat15 wrote:Havent really thought about it too much.

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
Have you looked at the Regents website? Read your posts and was inspired to check it out. It looks so nice. So much better than anywhere I've lived so far. Pretty pretty tempting.Sentry wrote:Most likely end up in Regents.

Of course, the New Grad is on campus -- but there is a shuttle from Regents. I wish I could go to ASW to help make my decision -- but that won't happen

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
Yeah it's really nice and a lot of LS students live there because of the discount. I would definitely give it some serious consideration if I were you.

Re: Chicago Class of 2014
Yeah, the only thing I dont like is that you have to pay for the gym membership, and it doesnt seem that close to the on campus gym, which would invariably make me not go.
Soju, take a look at this post/map made by someone from Chicago:

It may be able to help you at least look into the city even though you wont make asw
