I know during the decision process they don't really accept updates to your file - anyone know during the WL should I send in a new resume reflecting my new job and a LOCI? I wrote the "Why Chicago" essay when I was WLed 3 months ago.

What's the difference between your LOCI and your Why Chicago essay?

They will certainly accept updates to your file while you are on the WL. Could you send in the updated resume and, unless the LOCI adds something new and awesome, a brief note in lieu thereof?

Same, except I was unpleasantly surprised. Way lower than CLS gave me. Probably gonna withdraw.

Went UR3 today. UR2 was 1/28, and UR1 early January. Good or bad sign? Is this normal?

[keosu11]

If you're getting an interview request, after which UR will it happen? Went in early Jan, date change in late Jan, and another today.

From the What to Expect thread:

Chicago
Application Received
Application Complete (you get an email for this)
Application Under Review (UR 1) <- indicates first committee review of your file
(OPTIONAL) Application Under Review (UR 1.5) <- I did not receive this step, but I believe some people did
Invited for Interview
Application Under Review (UR 2) <- generally immediately after your interview, indicates that the interview is done
Application Under Review (UR 3) <- indicates second committee review of your file
Application Under Review (UR 4) <- most (all?) people get this in the days leading up to decisions being released
"Invited to Interview" -> Interview scheduled
Acceptances: Email, status checker changes simultaneously
Waitlists: Email, status checker changes simultaneously
Not Acceptances:

So interview requests typically come after UR1/1.5.

So does this mean that most progressing through that process without an interview are likely to get a ding/waitlist? Or do ding/waitlist often get less URs?
