He may be referring to McDonald v. Chicago, the Supreme Court case that overruled Chicago's universal handgun ban. Chicago was (and still is) known as having some of the toughest handgun laws in the nation.

Edit: It's still a weird thing to say.

If you have mediocre numbers... don't worry, there is still a chance. Waitlisted with 162/3.95 non-URM.

I don't know if I should submit additional material or not. I'm in at Berkeley, and I think they might have a better quality of life....

does anyone know the likelihood of getting off the waitlist?

I interviewed several weeks ago (right after the last day before this one that people got admissions/waitlists from U of C) and got no decision today (at least, not yet). Anyone else in the same boat?

They haven't released acceptances yet today. Keep faith alive.

Just checked the status checker now and saw that the status is "application under review" but the date is Feb 26. ??? what does this mean? that I was thrown "back"? Must be a bad sign, right? does anybody know? I was told in the invitation email that the decision should come tomorrow.
Update: just got the email, the date thing was not such a bad sign after all :-)
