I hate to be a bubble burster here, but isn't it possible, even likely that apps viewed on the same day could be split between acceptances, WLs, and dings? I mean, if not that would mean that they decided everyone's fate on the first UR date, since they would already have to be in definitive piles before the second date for the second date to mean anything other than "we looked at you today." Otherwise, why have the second date at all, unless there was still a decision to be made? Conclusion: your UR dates don't mean anything except that your file was viewed that day.

I agree with you EXCEPT those people under review 12/23....we're definitely all in.

lol touche.

No, there have not been any decisions yet. They will start next week. We are all trying to figure out what our UR updates mean, but we have no idea. No one is "cooked"

Pretty sure we know 12/13 is admit.

I'm 12/21, any idea to what this is?

I'm gunna go with acceptance.

Please forgive me, but why do we think 12/13 are admits? I'm 12/13. Haha.

I got a good feeling about 12/13

Ah well in that case see you all at the ASW.

I find it mildly ironic that Anna Ivey, former Dean of Admissions at UChicago, strongly recommends updating applications for major events such as new positions, grades, etc. In fact, she implies that this is required (--LinkRemoved-- , go down to Dec. 16 [edited to add date reference]). Yet her old school, UChi, is apparently the only one that does not allow updates to pending apps. Just sayin'. It's not like I have a real shot at Chicago, but still... good news wants to be shared.

Banal thoughts from mr_toad.

Maybe the new dean wanted to do things differently?

Still sitting at "application complete" 12/7.

Edit: This was my 300th post. Probably should have done something cooler with it.

No, he was counting only the posts where he wasn't being a dick to others.

If I were only counting posts where I wasn't being a dick to other people, that would have been my 30th post.

12/17. Anyone want to collect these? I remember Knock, oxford_don, seancooksey07, 123xalady (best username/tar combo ever, by the way), jpk5372, and zworykin are in the 12/17 pile.

[Philosopher1]

I'm really, really upset. I got an (edit) LSAT and got dinged from Chicago ED. I thought I had a chance.

Kidding, kidding I did apply ED though haha. I suppose I might have to take my talents to South Beach (get it?)

Congrats to you all. And when you're in the courtroom .. they don't ask for your LSAT score or the school you graduated from. Watch out. It's ON!

I'm also in this pile
For what it's worth I applied 10/25. (172/3.67)

Happy new year and GOOD LUCK!!!!

[4102011]

I'm 12/13! Ahhh!

Also, from my thread (sorry for people who constantly see me posting this link!), UChicago seems pretty predictable. I didn't compile info for the earliest apps (September), but it seems to be correlated with your submission date. Not that that means we should stop freaking out about UR dates, because that is always fun!

[paulinaporizkova]

Wait, have there been RD decisions already? 12/1 UR and you people are acting like this means I'm cooked...

No, there have not been any decisions yet. They will start next week. We are all trying to figure out what our UR updates mean, but we have no idea. No one is "cooked"

Pretty sure we know 12/13 is admit.

i'm also at 12/13 but if i actually got into this school i would shat myself...so i hope you're right for my sake but i'm still pretty doubtful

[thecilent]

Yeah the only meaning of the dates is it tells you they've looked at your app on that day - possibly putting it into one of a few piles. Which of those piles you got put in though...

[r6_philly]

The admit pile.

[Muenchen]

.

[thecilent]

The admit pile.

And first calls pile

And $$ pile.
