While in a full-on neurotic premed state of mind, I called the admin office and the person who picked up (assuming the receptionist) said that there would be some decisions going out this week.

If you're that neurotic with 5 As, imagine the rest of us lol

One of my classmates got accepted today.

 

[I<3PopeyesFriedChicken]

Congrats to your classmate! Fingers crossed more folks get good news sometime soon.

Dang...I guess that’s it for this round...

I wonder if that is the case. One commenter yesterday said they called and the admissions office said they'll be sending them out this week, rather than specifically saying they'll be sending them out yesterday. If we go by the 1xSDN=5xActual then there were only ~5 acceptances? And it was an SDNer posting on behalf of their friend too. It just seems unusual to me.

edit: it was you who called, thanks!

That’s true, and you’re logic is sound. I really hope you’re right.

Interviewed like ~3 months ago. Guess I’ll just take the L here 🙁 sucks they were my top choice

 

[jmtfcs]

Bro you guys gotta chill honestly, they literally said most people will hear back in March

Fear not - as I recall, last year, even late into December, people from waaay before were still getting in! Don't give up, kiddo!

......and on an unrelated note......

How on EARTH do you remember your own username? 😱

Mid-August here...

 

[deleted987990]

Mid-August here...

was complete end of august 🙁

 

[Ole_Toe]

Late Sep here. Does Pritzker read post Labor Day apps?

From last year's thread: there was a wave of IIs and RS from August applicants at the end of Dec/early Jan. September and Oct applicants appeared to be considered

 

[malmed1025]

What about early July submitters :/ Still heard nothing

 

[code46]

A little late to say, but got the acceptance call last Monday and couldn't be happier!!

Can I ask what was your interview date?

 

[deleted965528]

I guess the wave was small?

Question for current uchicago undergrads: I have to catch up on some school work and I’ve heard that uchicago has some gorgeous libraries. Are they open to the public and which library would be the best/most beautiful to visit?

Harper Memorial Library is open to the public and definitely the most iconic on campus. Mansueto is also pretty nice but you have to get a pass to enter through the Regenstein.

When do they reject MSTP applicants

 

[deleted996731]

So where are the delusional people that told me Chicago was a better city than NYC???

It’s a matter of perspective. I wouldn’t call anyone delusional for having a different opinion, specially if you don’t have the credential to diagnose anyone

True my bad. Definitely meant this as a joke. Didn’t mean to piss anyone off lol

I just don’t vibe with it lol. Didn’t know people would get so mad haha. After RIP Elmo I’m trying to be a good boi.

 

[marcosma]

I moved to Chicago postgrad and really really love it. Has much more of a community vibe for me than LA or NYC did!!!

 

[F4532]

Anyone here get a rejection from UChicago MSTP?

 

[deleted1005053]

Anyone here get a rejection from UChicago MSTP?

I'm still waiting to hear back and UChicago is my top choice. Thinking its a silent R until the last interview date passes, then they'll hit me with the rejection email.

 

[himalayansaltlamp]

Any guesses about when the next round of acceptances will arrive?

I called last week and they said there's another round this month. Probably next week, I'm assuming!

 

[AmaranthMoor]

Last year it was the second Friday of the month, the 14th, so it might even be this coming Friday the 13th (or maybe they’ll bump it back a week, who knows!)

Any ideas for what interview dates might hear back?

IIRC there was an early September interviewee, another September one, and an October one accepted—so a mixed bag! Didn’t look like it was a big wave, though.

Wait then what about regular md admission consideration?

excuse my neuroticism, but they start winter break on the 13th so hopefully some people will hear good news then! or maybe I’m just hoping we’ll hear back sooner because Pritzker is my top choice haha

 

[deleted996731]

So is the scrub top something that you get when you matriculate or does every accepted student get one? I know the chances of acceptance aren’t high but a maroon scrub with their sexy logo is a wet dream

I hope it is not over for August interviewees.

Same... </3

R
Complete 8/9. No hard feelings, though I am starting to suspect that it's reputation as a school that primarily cares about stats is a little exaggerated.

Honestly, out of all of my interviews this school felt the most like it was trying to see if you 'fit'.

Congrats!!

Does anyone have an idea when December decisions will be released?

 

[anon.jellyfish]

Pre-II R, complete 8/6

 

[chitown19]

Anyone up for calling the office to see if there’s another wave in December?

there should be (I called last week!), but they didn’t say how large/when exactly.

I’m assuming next week!
