Chicago C/O 2019 Applicants (2015-2016) Forum

Not trying to trigger any residual anxiety from the LSAT but...

is the UR4 historically sufficient for an acceptance, or just necessary?

[mpellenberger]

UR4 here. Trying not to get too excited but... I'm excited.

[sudijajd]

UR4 today!

ME TOO YAY!

+1... Does everyone get UR4 or do some people hear back before? Reverse splitter here, surprised I haven't been dinged yet!

I was browsing last year's thread and UR4 doesn't seem to be indicative of admission. Buttttt I'm UR4. So I shall believe that it is.

That said, you have to pass through UR4 to be admitted, so I wouldn't say it's not indicative...

Would those who have recently gotten interview requests mind sharing when you went UR1?

I received the interview request today and went UR1 12/5. It was a Saturday

Also received an interview request today. Status checker updated to "Invited for Interview." Wish me luck!

Good luck and congrats on the invite!

Excited about the arrival of UR4s! In the past, has the first regular applicant decision day been a mixture of admits, waitlists, and dings?

Looking at the LSN applicants from last year's first day (12/31) it looks like everyone who heard something was accepted. That being said, it might just be people who were accepted who reported the good news and this year is already different given that we aren't hearing anything until at least two weeks after those folks did. IDK. I'm hopeful, but trying to stay grounded just in case.

I went UR2 today!? Definitely not UR4, but I guess this could be okay? Did anyone else have a UR change that wasn't UR4?

If you're right, you da real MVP.

I MIGHT have had a UR3 today, not a UR4, depending on how you define it. I had a UR1 after going complete, a UR2 right before interview invite, UR3 right after interview, and a UR4 today. However, I have heard that what I'm calling a UR2 is actually a UR1.5.

TL;DR I might have gotten a non-UR4 today, you might not be alone.

It does appear that the cycle before last (in which the first wave was released on Jan 21st) entailed a mix of acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. Regardless, it will be refreshing to have just received a decision after such torturing silence.

Interview request today! A little nervous given what I've heard about Chicago's interview being more formal/cold, but excited!

Does anybody have any idea what the typical time span is between the 1st UR4's and the 1st wave of decisions?

You'll be ok. The "cold" folks are the outliers.

And we'll know in the next few days about whether or not it meant anything. Because I think they hated me in the interview haha.

Oh man, sorry to hear that, hopefully it will be good news!

UR4. Having hard core flash backs to gray day... except it's more like gray week lol

[rska884]

UR4 for me yesterday as well - stopped checking after the Penn waitlist, so actually missed some movement for once

[bell]

UR4!!!

What's the turnaround time here? Do they usually call or...?

I just got invited for an interview. What does it really mean? Is everybody doing interviews or are people selected?

People are selected and it's a good sign. Read the rest of the topic.

Thanks. I just got waitlisted at UPenn so starting to worry a little bit.
