@transfer20140826 They didn’t mention how we’d hear when I called, but I’m sure they’d let you know if you contacted them.
@CCCtransfer0613 oh god, should I think that no news is good news? Haha. Have you contacted with the AO? I’m actually a lil afraid to contact them now, what if my answer is a no. I mean, tho I’m not really expecting it, yet still expecting.
@CCCtransfer0613 okie, so I just called the AO. And they were telling me that they don’t know the specific date to release the result, prolly the coming up week. And they are gonna release all the acceptance together.
@transfer20140826 Thanks for the clarification! I didn’t call the AO, I just called the general College Admissions office number that’s on the UChi website.
@transfer20140826 Hey, I feel little bit confused. So you said “they are gonna release all the acceptance together.” Does that mean people who receive their notifications earlier will get rejected or defered? The later, the better, right? due to rolling basis…
By “acceptance”, do you mean the news that you’re actually accepted, or the news if you are accepted or not? “Acceptance” in that context can mean two things, you know. If you meant latter, what the person at the general admission office said and what AO said are contradictory. In that case, I still wouldn’t think AO was absolutely right and the receptionist was absolutely wrong, because receptionists should know the right date as thry are the one who answer those types of questions in general. Ugh, coming next week isn’t even early May. I really was expecting this week…
@transferringbud hey, honestly, i feel like the person who picked up the phone when I called them today was ambiguous on this. He just told me that sometime next week, the results will be posted. Oh yeah, one more thing to highlight, he said the next COUPLE OF WEEKS, which really decreased me anticipation when i hung up the phone, cuz the waiting is really killing me.
I’ve been on these CC forums for awhile… just reading and digging for information. This wait is KILLING me and I had to finally make an account… I haven’t been very productive the past couple days. Just dropping in to say hello!
@transfer20140826 That’s very frustrating. I still wonder what the rolling basis was about. Why did the person who took the phone at the admission office say they started to release it on rolling basis…? I can’t imagine a receptionist not knowing how and when the results are gonna be released at this point. Yet, I can see what these two people said not contradicting each other, since the person whom you talked to said “IN the next couple of weeks”. His language indeed is vague, however.
I hoped they’d release it today or sometime this week to the least. Last year, the deadline for the app was March 3rd or so, yet they released the acceptances on the 7th. Maybe more people applied this year than last year… Who knows. The only things we know for sure are this is such a crapshoot, and the waiting game is getting real, haha.
(Pardon me if there is any typo. Writing on phone isn’t easy.)
I think we should expect the result this week. Last year on May 5th I sent them an email asking when the result would come out and they replied the same thing as always --Early May. And one day later I recieved an email said my decision was ready. In addition, I think they release the results – accept,reject,waitlist all together. The rolling admission stuff you are talking about might apply to waitlist. As far as I know, UChicago gives a lot of waitlist positions. This is my guess based on my last year’s experience, don’t take it too seriously.
In defense of the receptionist, the conversation was extremely brief. Perhaps there was more information, but I’m just reporting what was said in a 2 minute phone call. Hopefully the decisions come soon!
They took down the checklist on the portal so I guess they’re almost ready
My checklist is gone, too. I am thinking about tomorrow. Finger crossed
I’m guessing it rolls out between tomorrow and Friday.
The acceptance rate is so low so I’m not expecting much after getting dinged at Penn and Dartmouth.
Mine isn’t gone. I have all “Forms,” “Upload Materials,” “Financial Aid Checklist,” “Portfolio,” and “Verify Address”. So when you guys say checklist is gone, you mean all of these are gone? What do you see on the screen?
The checklist, for me, was listing that I sent in my transcripts, ACT scores, application, etc. I can still see the financial aid checklist though.
Yeah sorry I meant the required items checklist
@CCCtransfer0613 Do you still see “Upload Materials” tab? I wonder if that’s what you’re talking about. I don’t remember what I had on the website originally (It’s been awhile since I completed the app), so I’m not sure which tabs I had before.
@Nyr1996 Oh didn’t see your last comment before I posted a comment. So the section was actually called “Required Items”? I guess I’m not missing anything, then. How marvelous–I totally forgot how the website looked in the matter of several weeks.
@transferringbud I don’t know if it was literally called “required items” but it listed all of the required materials like transcripts and secondary school reports and things of that nature. Basically you should have had a long list with a bunch of green checkmarks (assuming they received all of your materials) and now it’s gone
