My UG didn't but we also had 6 weeks for winter break.

However, I tried signing up for an interview and the system did allow me.

Anyone know if they are going to cancel the interview? Or is it find as long as I'm signed up for it?

I'm sure as long as you're signed up you're alright.

Got a fee waiver this afternoon. Not sure if I'll apply yet. I'd probably be unlikely to get a scholarship even if accepted, so it'd be hard for me to justify financially, despite its ranking.

Just apply! You never know. I got a really surprising scholarship. The application is pretty standard. You can also use an admission without a scholarship to negotiate with other schools for scholarships, depending on the school.

Yeah, I may just give it a shot, who knows.

Did any females also get an email from the Law Women's Caucus from University of Chicago? I haven't received any emails/fee waivers from Chicago so I am wondering whether this email will be followed by a fee waiver.

Yes, I received that this morning! No fee waiver either.

But the next section is about demographics with no space for an email address. I have my personal email filled in the contact section under secondary email address. Is that sufficient?

I wondered the same thing. Yes.

Hi guys, do you think it's a problem if I forgot to include the hours spent per item on my resume? I submitted quickly without thinking today because I was excited to have all my LORs in

I didn't have them on my resume, but I may have had them within the app itself if there's room. I do not remember.

Ahh you're the best, I did this also and now I have a fee waiver! Submitting today
