Did anyone else get an interview invite on Feb 15th? I'm trying to figure out which interview wave I fall into

I think you might be in the current wave then. Did your UR date change yesterday?

Ok, thanks! And yeah, it did change yesterday, but I think it's only UR2 for me?

Another date change today... 3rd one since the interview.

Anyone have any idea when scholarship info for 2/4 admits is likely to come out?

Early this coming week, I was told.

Bummer, was hoping to see money today at the latest. Is Wednesday still considered "early" in the week? lol

It seemed like more of a "we hope to have it out by then" statement.

Been watching my email and mailbox like a hawk. Do we know with confidence via which route these will arrive?

at day in the life last friday they said they would sent more letters in the next couple weeks

Email would be my guess. I don't think they would've said early this week if they had yet to put it in the mailbox (I was told last Friday). But who knows, I've been on high alert either way.

I would not put too much stock in when and how your apps are reviewed. They might or might not have had a system before, but they changed admissions staff--quite substantially.

Relax, and I would suggest not checking the status checker and trying to figure things out based on what you see there.

This seems like good advice for not stressing yourself out. On the other hand, it seems Chicago's status checker and the nature of Chicago's decision waves have both been remarkably consistent

Sure! But they have had significant personnel changes in the last month(ish). So this period might not be as easily assumed to be part of that consistency. Thus, confusing or non-standard behavior from them should not be taken personally.

Any stragglers (like me) go complete/UR1 in February and also receive an interview request? I haven't and I think it's still early, but I want to make sure.

[BananaSplit626]

Submitted app on 12/1, believe I'm in UR4 as of today. No interview request throughout the process. Any insights on this?

Are you certain that you never received an interview invite? It's possible to receive an invitation, not schedule an interview, and continue in the application process, but I don't think that I've heard of anyone skipping the interview invitation step (which that many UR changes would imply, though not guarantee).

Wouldn't interview requests be on the status check page under 'Mailings'?
I am also pretty sure that I have had at least two date changes and no interview request.

Fair point, yeah it should show up under mailings. Still an odd situation though, as drblake would be at like UR1.875 Not that we have any idea what even UR1.5 means anyways. Probably just best to sit back and wait it out.

Just changed to UR3 yesterday and no interview invitation to this point. Checked all my gmail folders and no invitation. Would like to know what's going on but I guess I'll just wait....

You are not alone in going through this. I think the best answer for this is probably from landshoes.

Thank you for the kind words, and helping to lower my blood pressure

Just curious, but what kind of personnel changes?

Emailed them and they told me I hadn't missed anything. Not feeling very relieved... We'll see what tomorrow brings. I have 50th % LSAT stats, but lower GPA due to engineering. Wonder if it's a numbers thing?

Is Thursday considered "early" in the week...?

I looked through the thread and the last scholarship wave occurred at 5:30pm CST. So we have about an hour left in today's window!

I also got another date change today (had one yesterday). I guess I'm at like UR 1.9 while I wait to see if I get an interview.

[jasmine138]

UR 5 as well.
My status changed everyday in the past two days as well. UR 4 yesterday, UR 3 the day before. I hope they release decisions soon.

The waiting period really takes a toll on you lol.

[Ivy2015]

Just accepted via email!

Seems like the email is old or there is a typo though…

"You will receive information about financial aid and scholarships in a separate email, and we expect to release your financial aid and scholarship decision by the end of February"

any thoughts?
