Chicago c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014) Forum

I know I'm a little late but interview invite here as well! Submitted early December, UR 1/9. So excited/nervous! Time to prep!

< median LSAT > 75% gpa...surprised to get this. Do we think this is for borderline candidates or do many of the students that interview get admitted?

[midwest17]

Hopefully they accept me. If they count holiday break, I will most likely find out this week since this week marks 8 weeks. If they don't count the holidays, another week of twiddling my thumb and waiting.

What's this 8 week thing? ED?

[Robbin Blue]

Can anyone actually make an appt now? I'm having trouble

Yeah, I made mine about 15 minutes ago, no problems.

Got my interview invite today too. Good luck everyone! I thought they forgot about me but they obviously didn't.

Et tu, brute?

Now you've got me paranoid, and I can't figure out how to check that I put the right name in. Does it show it anywhere?

I was worried about that as well before my interview, I couldn't find it if it does. Turned out alright though, if that helps in the slightest.

Whaaaaaat. Congratulations to everyone who got interview invites tonight!!!

Also, at interview invites being sent out after 9 PM on a Monday night. Is there no time of day nor day of the week that we can feel secure not checking our email constantly or refreshing our status checkers?

You know what this means:

[isaiah1992]

What's the conventional wisdom on not signing up for an interview if you were invited? Does it have a significantly negative impact on your chances of being offered admission? Even though the answer is probably an obvious "yes," does anyone have any anecdotal and/or concrete evidence that could clarify the exact degree of the impact?

No one has anecdotal evidence otherwise because no one is dumb enough to turn down the interview. Stop fucking around, skip.

Just received an interview request at 7:13pm west coast time. wow I cannot believe they were working so late. I thought I was done for since I did not submit an addendum to explain a 10-pt score jump in LSAT, although the Chicago website clearly states that admission people would like to see one for huge jump.

Above 75th lsat and at median GPA. Submitted mid-November. UR1 12/22 UR2 today.

But please try it and let us know how it goes.

I'd prepare an answer for that in the event that it does come up.
