EA application deadline extension due to hurricane

<p>Due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy we are extending our Early Action deadline past November 1st. We ask that you complete your application at some point during the week of November 5th. All application materials are expected to be submitted by 5 p.m. Central Time on Friday, November 9th. Please note that it is acceptable for mailed materials to arrive in our office after that date, so long as they are appropriately postmarked. </p>

<p>We will keep in touch if adverse conditions continue past November 9th, but at this point we hope all students will plan to be ready to submit applications by November 9th. Stay safe, everyone!</p>

<p>Question: Is the deadline extension meant for all applicants? Or only those affected by Hurricane Sandy? Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m wondering the same thing.</p>

<p>I also have a question: Does this new deadline apply to QuestBridge Finalists? Thank you!</p>

<p>Bart-- we would prefer that students who have the ability to submit their application on time (Nov 1) do so if possible. Please contact your regional counselor if you are not affected by the storm but you have concerns.</p>

<p>Utauing-- if you are a Questbridge applicant affected by the storm we request that you submit your application as soon as you are able, since Questbridge runs on a much quicker deadline than regular EA applications. We will communicate procedures to Questbridge students in areas affected by the storm.</p>

<p>Will this be posted on the official UChicago website soon for verification?</p>

<p>It is currently posted to our Admissions homepage at collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu. As new information develops about this storm, we may have additional information for affected students. Please do not worry about submitting by November 1 if you are affected by power outages; we simply look forward to receiving your materials as soon as you are able to send them, even if after November 1.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Has the deadline now changed back to Nov 1 for people not on the east coast…?</p>

<p>unfortunately, yes.</p>

<p>napalm, we do hope that students who have the ability to do so will submit their applications by November 1.</p>
