Maybe by then, Chicago shower them with money to close the deal quickly. (Jan applicants can dream, can't they???)

[edamame]

So glad to be UR.

Submitted early Jan, complete 1/17.

Still complete, but at least they're working on a Saturday!

Nope.

It's sad how exhilarating I find this.

Just noticed that I went UR yesterday (3/1) but didn't even go complete until 2/1. Is this quick turnaround (relative to everyone else applying to Chicago at least, lol) a good or bad thing? Stats in profile...

I think it's a good thing that you just jumped ahead in line.

They have to know they need to pick up the pace if they want to finish RD admits by mid-April. So maybe they've given up on reviewing everyone as they go complete and decided to start grabbing the best apps out of the pile and putting them on the fast track.

I think they'd be in more of a rush to accept people than to reject or WL people.

Has anyone gotten in, or just an interview even (or a Ruby, maybe), without having written a Why Chicago or have anything school-specific in their app?

Edit: k, from lsn, it seems it's not out of the realm of possibility for any of those.

I didn't write a "Why Chi" and there was absolutely nothing Chicago-specific in my application. During my interview, I made it clear why I was interested in attending Chicago specifically when presented with the opportunity. Worked out for me.

I think the interview was essentially my "why chicago"

You and everyone else... if they don't UR our apps before May, do we get our money back?

[Crowing]

IIRC Chicago didn't specifically provide the option for a why x so I didn't write one. I'm kinda surprised they don't though tbh since most people prefer CLS and NYU to Chicago; it seems like why x could be useful for them.

UR1 3/1. Complete late January. Looking at the #s of you other fine folks who went UR1 the same day, I have to admit I'm more hopeful about UChi than I was last week...

You know what would be helpful? You posting your numbers after you specifically mention looking at other peoples. Worm has a great rant about this, and this post swayed me to his opinion.
