I know I said I'd wait for a fee waiver but since I cut down the number of schools I'd be going for this cycle, I thought it'd be sort of affordable and neat to have a chance at being the first file reviewed at what may be my first choice.

Congrats on getting your app in so early!

That's sweet. Mine is done, but I'm pending the military fee waiver.

Did you do the Doctoroff addendum? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it.

Nope. Have you looked at the profiles of the Doctoroff students?

You can see the classes of 2016 and 2017 on the left. My background doesn't really match so I'd guess my chances are low and going for it might even contradict my personal statement since my goals have nothing to do with the private sector.

Thanks, salander!

Thanks for the link. Cdotson, you should add that link to the OP. I mean, if you want to. But that's one fine ass link.

Good luck to everyone who already submitted! I still have a lot of stuff I'm waiting on to submit my app.

I think this is true of most schools - according to the admissions rep I spoke with, there's about 2 weeks between apps opening and reviewing!

Being the first application on the stack? Priceless.

From their website:

(1) Teach for America participants and alumni applying as a 1L,
(2) those currently serving active duty in the U.S. military, U.S. military veterans, and members of the U.S. Reserves and National Guard,
(3) Peace Corps participants and alumni providing documentation confirming completion of the 27-month commitment,
(4) AmeriCorps participants and alumni, and
(5) undergraduate students currently enrolled at the University of Chicago.

A bit nervous about this no university email thing. I don't have another email besides my school one (which they allow alumni to keep for life, didn't have an email before college). Is this really as big a deal as they make it seem on the application? Its a gmail address if that matters.

I must have missed that instruction on the application, not that it would have made a difference for me.

Also, you should totally have a professional email. Make it firstname.lastname@wherever.com. That shouldn't be an issue.

It's just so the emails won't bounce. Don't worry about it.
