In via email!!!

LSAT above 75th; Complete 10/22, interview invite 11/12, interview 12/3, UR3 12/14, UR4 12/29 (my memory's not very accurate, the dates may be off by one or two days)

I was bed-ridden with sickness for the past 4 days, what a great start to the year though!

Congrats to those who got the good news as well!

Congrats to the admits ITT! It's awesome to see so many of you being accepted!

Question: Has anyone else gone into what appears to be a UR5? My status date has changed for the 4th time following my interview.

[Mal Reynolds]

Congrats to all the admits. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help ITT or by pm.

Yes, I think I had UR5. I'm not 100% sure how we're counting. I had:

UR1
Interview statuses (invited/scheduled)
Back to UR after interview = UR2 (right?)
UR3
UR4 on 12/29
UR5 on 12/30
Accepted 12/31

Hope this helps!

It definitely does. Thanks, and congrats!

Good morning people.

I have a semi-involved question that came up when I was interviewing; however, at the time, I didn't think I had enough time to ask, get a solid answer, and act based on the information that I received; I didn't ask. Furthermore, this may best be directed at current students, particularly those that have doubled-down on engaging the faculty.

I was in the 12/31 admit wave; above both 75ths, November interview. Technically speaking, I'm way stoked and very likely to attend; Chicago is a special place with a strong brand that I'd be honored to contribute to.

I'd like to get a feel for what's going on at the Law School on a personal level before attending, so that I know what to look for in my limited time here. For example, I found this page: http://www.law.uchicago.edu/blog.html

However, it appears that the Law School Faculty Blog is updated relatively infrequently and that many of the recent updates contain broken links. The Becker-Posner blog is very interesting, but it is limited in scope, only takes a few minutes to read through the last several years, and was terminated in May in memoriam of Gary Becker.

None of the other blogs appear to concern the content of contemporary legal research at UChi.

I've been chasing down the broken links from the LSFB using Google / other tools. I've also tried following the Wikipedia trails left by those in the faculty with some success. I'm learning a lot. : )

What resources are you guys using to get to know the faculty / get an idea of what is going on at Chicago research-wise prior to visiting / interviewing? More importantly, does anyone know much about how accessible the faculty are with respect to their research?

Thanks in advance!

If you are interested in Law and Economics, here is a nice link to a working paper series for current scholarship faculty are working on in that area:
