Chicago c/o 2017 Applicants Thread



Status Checker Lingo (ripped from the "what to expect" thread.

Application Received
Application Complete (you get an email for this)
Application Under Review (UR 1) <- indicates first committee review of your file
(OPTIONAL) Application Under Review (UR 1.5) <- I did not receive this step, but I believe some people did
Invited for Interview
Application Under Review (UR 2) <- generally immediately after your interview, indicates that the interview is done
Application Under Review (UR 3) <- indicates second committee review of your file
Application Under Review (UR 4) <- most (all?) people get this in the days leading up to decisions being released

Yay, checking in! Can't believe apps open so soon. Looking at the application timeline, it doesn't seem like we'll be getting decisions anytime soon though.

Wow I can't believe it's that time already. Good luck, you rigorous fucks.

Checking in!!

Seems like yesterday we were gearing up for this and now two cycles have passed.

Also the title of this thread brings me back. I went to a reception last year in a secondary and the firm gave me a nametag that said "Chicago Law School." Everybody thought I attended some TTTT, which might have actually been a perception that helped me in that context.

Good luck everyone. Feel free to PM me with questions about applications, UChicago, why Mal Reynolds is such a dick, etc.

Are they still doing Rubys?

That page says it's a 3 year thing, beginning with class of 2014. I can't find any updates, but I know it was $10M lump sum so it must run out some time.

The process, from my lurking in the 2017 thread, seemed far more drawn out than it had been in previous years. Same with Columbia.

Haha. I didn't have to wait a long time the class of 2017 seemed to, though. I vicariously felt their pain.

Started mine too!

What's the word on soliciting fee waivers from Chicago? Just read on Chicago's site that "The Law School is unable to consider individual fee waiver requests." So I have to sit here and cross my fingers for one?
