2020-2021 University of Chicago

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I dont know if they do like an internal hold. Its interesting cause it seemed like they went from early July dates to end of Sept and have been moving backwards with decisions. But the october IIs put a wrench in the pattern I thought I saw
 
Does anyone think they will do a small number of acceptances throughout the cycle or just all at the end?

I know it doesn't really help to think about this but I thought if you all had a peace of mind, you can help me stop overanalyzing too
 
Havent interviewed so dont actually have anything to back this up but I think more schools are moving to nonrolling admissions. Last year, supposedly, it was a small number of As in Nov and the rest around March. I assume this year with the delays, they may push more people to the March decisions date
 
Just received a II. Completed last week of October. Only interview dates that appear to be available are last week of january and first week of February. Good luck to everyone else!
Congrats! I guess this means their last II's will be coming out shortly because I think I read that they interview to the end of February. Good luck to the rest of us still holding out some hope for this school :')

They may do a small A wave this week. They did last year so I'm assuming we can expect one soon.
 
Me wishing I understood how adcoms are going through the apps; like I know things aren't chronological but they seem to be jumping all over the place 🤔
 
Pre-II R... At 9:15 PM?? Chicago, have some humanity...😞
It's always interesting to see these odd times, like the person who received an II at 1 am. I always thought adcoms meet before sending IIs but it lowkey could just be one reviewer saying yes... or they use schedule send alot
 
Accepted via call this morning! Interviewed 9/14. Didn’t send an update or thank you letters. Still waiting on the email. Also for anyone who’s wondering in the call they said they’re doing awards differently this year and are waiting to send them out around February instead of giving awards with acceptances.
