Just for peace of mind...anyone else here sitting with LizzyMs of 78+ and 0 news (II or rejection) from any of these schools despite being compete in mid-July?

LizzyM 78, complete 7/7, haven't heard anything from Pritzker. Don't worry 🙂

 

[Pleides]

80+ LizzyM, complete 7/6, enjoying my peace and quiet.

+1

 

[DimasN]

Damn I feel for you DimasN. No II from anywhere for 80+ is brutal. I keep telling myself that it's early haha but it's hard not to be a little anxious.

I feel great whenever I don't stop by SDN. These school-specific threads are a great way of inducing a heart attack.

 

[DBC03]

So I've been complete for a few days and don't expect them to start reviewing any time soon. Does the online status change to "under review" or anything like that or does the status stay the same?

I have the link to the school-specific threads bookmarked on my Chrome homepage; at this point for my own sanity I think I'll be taking that off

My application was complete early July. For me, it stayed the same.

Same for me

Thanks! So I shouldn't check periodically to see if my status says "under review" or something similar.

Yeah my status didn't change at all.

[twentyeightmiles]

Duuuude how do you have 6 IIs already

I dunno man, I'm sort of in shock after three IIs in a row today Crossing my fingers this marks the start of a big wave of IIs from Chicago for everyone!

 

[DBC03]

Duuuude how do you have 6 IIs already

Bona Fide Rock Star. This is incredible! So excited for everyone who is getting these IIs!

 

[bae2017]

[minho]

Ahhh II!!! First one!! Complete 7/28

II received today and complete 7/28 as well!

Edit: does anyone know the interview style? I saw that U Chicago's has been pretty relaxed in the past, but they may be switching to MMI's?

As far as I know the interview structure hasn't changed and in general you will have:

- 1 Faculty Interview
- 1 Student Interview
- 1 Admissions Interview

[BahnMiOrBanhYou]

Thanks! I was complete on 7/24

 

[cloudcomputingunicorn]

Thanks! I was complete on 7/24

Congrats! It seems like recent IIs were sent to people marked complete in late July. For those of us who were complete the day the secondary was released, does that mean we were rejected? Is it possible for us to get an II? Please tell me there's hope still!

Of course there's hope! Again, it's extremely early in the cycle, and you still have a chance to get an II, whether it's next week or in December.

MSTP - First II. Received this morning. Secondary submitted 7/9. Complete 8/11.

 

[dancindoctor9]

LM is 71 -- II received on 8|15 -- Secondary submitted 8|11 (all other parts of my app, e.g. letters were done). I'm almost wondering if they begin reading apps prior to completion because 4 days...? But I'm not complaining! Best of luck to all!

Congrats! What range of interview dates did you get to choose from?

 

[Fruitcup]

Have any TX Residents heard from Pritzker yet?

 

[minho]

Have any TX Residents heard from Pritzker yet?

Yes, II. Submitted late July, about 2 weeks between submitting secondary and receiving II.

 

[DBC03]

Have any applicants interested in the HTE heard back, yet?

 

[OldSavage]

.

 

[DBC03]

Nope but i submitted late July though

Me, too. Actually, I might have submitted a few days into August.

 

[OldSavage]

[DBC03]

wait hold up for some reason i thought this was the USC page since you said HTE. UChicago has an HTE program as well?! Didn't see anything on their secondary app allowing us to select this as an interest...

Haha - just realized that as well. I had that tab open and accidentally asked the question here. Disregard!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[lj_99]

II this past week as well!

btw, can any current students comment on whether it's safe to take the green line in from downtown early in the morning before interviews? thanks!

DO NOT TAKE THE GREEN LINE. Red is okay but still sketchy.

 

[Fruitcup]

Yes, II. Submitted late July, about 2 weeks between submitting secondary and receiving II.

I'm hoping for a similar result. Do you mind sharing your stats?

 

[DTX_1212]

Anyone know if they have a student hosting program or something similar for interviews?

 

[wisconsingirl65]

Yes they do have a student hosting program! Here's the link to request a host: Request a Student Host Here

I went to UChicago undergrad. I took the green line and the red line at all hours of the night and never had a problem. In the morning you'll be perfectly fine. If you're staying downtown you can also take the 6 or the 2 buses.

 

[LA_Doc]

II!!!

Agree with this. You can take the Green Line & Red Line, especially early in the morning without much issue. In the morning there will be other commuters to UChicago. The 2 bus is a really good option though if your traveling down on a weekday as its a Hyde Park express bus that will put right on campus probably even quicker than green line --> 55 bus (or whatever route you were planning to take).

 

[Deus Ex Medicine]

Little bit late. Rejected July 27th. MSTP applicant. Good luck to everyone else.

II an hour ago!! OOS LM ~78

I can't attend any of the available dates... anyone with the same issue? Did you just contact the admissions office directly?

Edit: complete 7/20

Congrats! And yeah, I called the office and asked them about any future dates they had.

How far out did they let you schedule? Or have they not opened those dates up yet?

 

[hotcheetomania]

When I got my interview, the only dates available were in August, but I couldn't do any day then. So I called them to see if they had any September dates yet, so I just basically signed up via phone.
