It's not conclusively coincidence or ranking. Just a nuanced difference between the WL letter and the Hold--->WL letter. Maybe they wanted to give the WLs the first crack at any available seats. Fair enough.MissMaroon wrote:Thanks for posting that. That's not coincidence, it's ranking. Nice, Chicago. Very nice.caoyun wrote:I put up the waitlist letter I received (doctored, of course) if anyone wants to see it. It seems like it may have been a ranking thing, as it seems as though the only people who have gone waitlist --> in got the one with Dean Perry's email. But it could just be coincidence.

Congrats, LadyBroseph! There's a "Chicago decision pending May 1" thread in the Law School Admissions Forum that you should post your info in too (you prob already know about it), it'll def be helpful to them.LadyBroseph wrote:I don't know if this will help or not, but I also got the "in" call yesterday -- but I was never put on hold or waitlisted. My status checker went to decision pending on 5/1, and I'd gone complete in early Feb. I also have until May 11 to make my decision, which will depend very heavily on their financial aid package...
Snail mailed. Are you at "decision mailed" on your status checker?Drmang7 wrote:Is the waitlist letter snail mailed? Or is it email?
I definitely didn't get in, but I have hope for the waitlist.
Congrats on your offer! As someone eagerly awaiting word from Chicago, I really hope that Penn pulls through for youcaoyun wrote:Received my scholarship offer today: $33,000. So there is money to be had off the waitlist. I'm not sure if its enough to persuade me to take Chicago over Penn. It's slightly smaller than my offer from Penn. I think I might try and persuade Penn to give me an extra few thousand with this award. I doubt it'll work, but it would really help a lot. I'm glad I have til Monday to decide though. It's still not much time to make a big decision, but its something.

I haven't, but I applied late. That said, I am a little confused as to why they're turning to WLs before rendering decisions on all apps they've received. Just doesn't seem to make much sense.Bluescholar wrote:Has anyone else besides me not received any kind of initial decision?
This weekend really isn't a good one for me to have to make a major decision. I'm graduating Monday and have my school's academic awards ceremony on Sunday. So it's going to be a really busy weekend. But yeah, if Penn increases the offer at all, the decision is fairly well made for me. I just sent my appeal to Penn. I'd still probably take Penn regardless of whether they increase my offer, but it would be great to get a little extra.lucydog wrote:Congrats on your offer!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.caoyun wrote:Withdrew this morning. Best of luck to all of you who remain on the list. I hope the spot (and money) go to someone who really wants it.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Nah, not necessarily. We do know for a fact that several spots opened up today, so if your status checker is still at "decision pending," maybe you'll get a call!daisyduck wrote:I still haven't heard from Chicago. Does that mean I'm on the waitlist?!

my status checker isn't even at decision pending. i applied to over twenty schools this cycle, all in mid Jan., and UChicago is the LAST one to get back to me with an initial decision.
Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
