When I log into my UChicago account, it still says that my information is pending or what not, and it’s not showing up. It’s been like that since October 31st. The other colleges I applied early for already certified that they got my info, is my Chicago account messed up or is this normal?
Call them tomorrow. I believe I saw similar posts last year and it very well can be something along the lines of “we’ve received many applications and are catching up the process.”
This is the message I receive upon login:
"Hello and thank you for your interest in the University of Chicago!
Because we are working our way through processing a large volume of applicant material, your application checklist confirming receipt of materials like your transcript, teacher recommendations, etc. is not yet active. Don’t worry—we will turn this on as soon as we know we’ve processed all of the material we have received, likely in early November. If anything is missing, we will give you ample time to resubmit with no penalty to you."
Also, I can’t find the UChicago financial aid sheet anywhere in my account. I did submit FAFSA and the CSS with IDOC, but I can’t find any confirmation that they actually received it. The priority deadline is the 15th, and I want to make sure my information got there.
UChicago doesn’t use IDOC. You would need to send along tax returns and W2 either via Fax, via regular mail or, possibly, via upload on your UChicago portal (check your portal’s upload function to determine what documents can be included).
^^ Also, If you submitted CSS you don’t need to submit the FA worksheet.
I still don’t see any of the verification for my application on my account. The same message pops up. It’s mid-November now. Do you think I should contact an AO about it? Or am I just overthinking it?
I will say, however, that I only created my UChicago account after submitting the CommonApp, and it said that it was delivered. I got an email to set-up my account soon after. So, I’m pretty sure they got it. Still, I’m kind of paranoid.
Your common app. portal will let you know what’s been downloaded. Probably everything has but check to make sure: application, rec letters, counselor report. If that checks out but you are still nervous, call your AO just for peace of mind. But also know that this delay happened two years when my kid applied early and also last year, so that message you are receiving when you log in is most likely genuine 
Current freshman here. I applied last year on 10/31/2017, one day before the deadline. Same thing happened to me. But I created my UChicago account before my common app. I remember that it took about a week for all the documents in the UChicago portal to show up as “received”. If its been this long, I would give them a call.
It showed up a couple days back confirming everything was delivered. Thanks for your help!
