Same. Honestly even if I got in I'm not sure I'd really want to pay sticker with other offers.. but Chi was always my top hope and it would still be nice to get in. Plus, maybe by some miracle they might even offer money!principalagent wrote:Yep.

As someone who has had the best years of my life since undergrad (and at the time, I thought my four years of undergrad were the best) I totally recommend deferring/taking a year off.

LSAT>>75th GPA>50th, so I was kind of surprised to be waitlisted...
I guess I was overconfident...

Re: UChicago c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
My interview with Chicago was a bunch a questions off a list. She was very methodical. However, I am asking if the interview has the same importance as Harvard. I know Harvard accepts about 70% of those interviewed and I was wondering if a UChicago interview is like UVA or more like Columbia or maybe like Harvard. Sorry for the confusionshermy wrote:+1 Felt exactly the same way about my Chicago interview vs. my HLS interview. In fact, the former interviewer made a sarcastic joke during my interview that implied law firms would dislike working with me because I wanted to empower women/minorities in the workplace. It was super strange.38981928 wrote:I'm not sure for UChicago, though I will say that the HLS interview was wonderful and my interviewer was very pleasant/friendly/conversational and seemed to really be trying to get to know me / see how my goals and personality fit within HLS. My Chicago interviewer seemed to be reading off a list of questions and gave no response whatsoever minus some head nodding while typing. If she were *trying* to look like a robot rattling off questions, she succeeded! She also gave no indication that she read my file beyond my resume, so I have a feeling you just have to pass a certain stats/resume threshold to get interviewed.jkander31 wrote:So honest q.

No, I got your question, I just didn't have an answer and was looking to rant about my strange interview experience I haven't seen % breakdowns on interview --> admit for UChicago. Based on pure instinct (with no stats to back this up whatsoever), I really don't think such a high percentage of people interviewed will get admitted (compared to Harvard or UVA, where it seems a lot of people interviewed get in almost immediately) because there was such little personalization during the interview that I doubt they even read the rest of my app yet.jkander31 wrote:My interview with Chicago was a bunch a questions off a list.

Re: UChicago c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
I read somewhere in the thread, either this year's or last year's that admit % after interviews was around 70%? But I don't know what that number was based on... and can't seem to find it again. That said, if that number is correct, it sounds like Chicago interviews send a similar signal to HLS interviews, in that you're now more likely to get in than to not get in once you've been invited to interview.jkander31 wrote:My interview with Chicago was a bunch a questions off a list.

To this point / conversation, I was actually told during my interview that the rest of my file wasn't read past my resume.38981928 wrote:No, I got your question, I just didn't have an answer and was looking to rant about my strange interview experience I haven't seen % breakdowns on interview --> admit for UChicago.
