Chicago c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013) Forum

[shntn]

Status date changed again today. So far my progression has been: Interview ->UR 12/6->UR 12/18->UR 12/21. Maybe RD decisions are coming soon??

Same, but reading nothing into it. Don't have the emotional stamina.

No status update here... still sitting on UR 12/6

[WhiteyCakes]

+1 for the status updates....still don't think that we'll see anything until after jan 1

[RSterling]

Also updated. I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's highly unlikely that we see any RD decisions before January. AFAIK Chicago has never released RD decisions until after the new year.

Another first round interviewer + Update today...

I mean the world didn't end...

Therefore Chicago will give out RD results early...? Its okay I'm a philosophy major; that totally follows.

Re: bolded. I know you're joking, but I've actually heard philosophy majors try to pull this in full seriousness.

I mean the philosophy trump card a great parlor trick when drunk but it shouldn't be abused haha

Reg seems like a pretty hoopy frood. I'm sure that came across in the applications in a more general way.

I'm not sure what a hoopy frood is, but I'll assume it's something awesome.

Also.... I have a sort-of-dumb question for all you other ED admits, or anyone in general for that matter: How exactly do we begin withdrawing from the other schools we applied to? Can we just call them, or do we have to email them (or even write them letters)? Does anyone have a link to instructions about how to withdraw applications? (I basically just want to make sure that I tell them first.... almost like when you break up with someone, you don't want them to be the one that dumped you; you want to be "the dumper.")

E-mail is fine. I know someone who just BCC'ed them all on one e-mail and called it a day.

He'll why not just normal cc? It would give the other schools a laugh and it's not like ED admits need to worry about looking socially inept :p

How long does it take to go under review? I'm sitting at complete as of November 2nd, but still not UR.

I already PM'ed LSATSCORES2012 this, but unfortunately I wasn't really keeping track of my status checker (and even if I had been, I applied to Chicago ED so it is probably different than what you will experience as an RD applicant). All I do know is that my status checker changed back to "Under Review" on 12/6 after I had my interview on 12/3, then the date updated again on 12/17 before I received my acceptance via email on 12/20.

Any RD applicants out there who can hook our friends up with the information they seek?

I can only speak for myself, but I went UR two weeks after going complete. Then again, that was back in September when they were presumably less busy. It looks like it's been taking them quite some time to work through all the apps completed in September and October, make ED decisions, conduct interviews, etc.

Sidenote: Fortunately, I don't think the general decision timeline will be pushed back. But I do think we might see less acceptances in January and more in February and March to compensate for the interviews slowing down the app review process. It's tough to see how they would be able to interview all the interview-worthy people who went complete in November in time for the mid-January decisions.

I'm still sitting at complete as of 11/1, and am also getting worried. Glad to hear I'm not alone at least.

[Anonymous4444]
