Chicago Transfer 2016 (Class of 2018) Forum

[Transfer2016]

Well my ticker updated today and says invitation to interview sent, but I still have not received the email.

Applied ED 3/1/2016. Was deferred 5/26/2016. My first year transcript box was just checked today, 6/30/2016 (even though it was on LSAC 20 days ago). Top 5% TT. Seems like the spots are probably almost full?

Literally in an almost identitcal position. Not holding out too much hope at this point...

Invited to interview.

Any tips and what are my chances? My $1200 deposit (7/6 deadline) at Georgetown hangs in the balance.

Interview is historically a very good sign. Questions were pretty standard (why law, why Chicago, goals with your JD). I did get a greatest weakness question, too.

Hi all, congrats to all that have been accepted already!

If anyone is looking for a roommate feel free to send me a PM.

I'm a 28 year old male, hoping to live in Hyde Park.

Can discuss more details for those interested.

[Joscellin]

Anyone who was invited to interview that still hasn't, yet?

I imagine they should be wrapping interviews and sending invites this week? I hope? Lol.

[browniestasty]

I hope to hear tomorrow so I don't have to give GULC money.

Historically, how long after interviews for decision?

[Transfer2016]

I have one scheduled for tomorrow. The last available day to schedule for me was Thursday.

[Joscellin]

Last couple years they've started coming out the day after the last interviews. If Thursday was available as an interview day, then, I wouldn't expect decisions before Friday or next Monday.

[Transfer2016]

Should I update U. Chicago with law review acceptance at my previous school? I know the application complete email said not to send updates unless they request materials or it pertains to C&F.

[browniestasty]

Admission officer that interviewed me said they are hoping to release decisions this week or next week.

So very soon guys.

Has it ever happened that someone who wasn't interviewed was admitted nonetheless?

[Uncle Jack Kelly]

I applied ED, interviewed and was placed on hold. I had the exact same gpa second semester and don't feel awful about my chances. If I'm not accepted in this next batch does that mean it's essentially over? My deposit is due at northwestern next Tuesday and don't want to screw that up.

I applied ED, was NOT interviewed, but was placed on Hold. If lack of interview is indicative of rejection, I feel like I would have been rejected already instead of placed on Hold.

To answer your question, I was in the same position coming up to GT deposits when ED started coming out. I waited till the last day before my deposit was due and then paid. If push comes to shove, I recommend you do the same and pay your deposit.

The money is not worth the risk, even if you do end up getting accepted.

Is today going to be the day?

Is today going to be the day?

I hope so, my app updated from UR 6/29 to 7/7. Don't know if that means anything but it's updated a bunch of times so I'm hoping it's a good sign?

[Joscellin]

Good luck guys, I hope decisions come out today!

If I'm not wrong you have 4 days left to pay that deposit. Also, their OCI bidding ends on 13th. Hope you get that decision soon for your sake.

Yup! I'm really hoping to know about uchi today, so I can really think through whether or not NW is worth it. I wonder if it's appropriate to call their admissions office.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what mine did during the early decision time! So hope it's today! My hold email was sent at 4:51 EST back in May.

[browniestasty]

Mine was also updated to 7/7

[Transfer2016]

7/7 for me too.

Had a missed call from some weird West Palm Beach number like 20 min ago and started freaking out it was possibly HLS or Chicago. Called back repeatedly over 15 minutes and continuous busy message. THEN... acceptance email came in right after I gave up! Phew...
