hey guys, I had an odd experience with uchicago. I received a random call from a chicago alumnus and he said he wanted to answer questions/issues I had regarding the college. I called him back and he asked me why I chose Chicago and continued on to say why Chicago is academically great. We chatted for an hour and he also asked me about the pros/cons of Chicago (if I got in). Was this an interview? He also followed up with an email last night linking me to some videos of uchicago. I’m confused because I never said I had any questions/issues. Sorry for the long message. Thanks!
One would think that those calls are done tfor accepted applicants who are deemed at risk of going elsewhere. Weird indeed.
Thanks for the response! I haven’t received a likely letter or anything, so I assume it was just an odd interview.
It could be a mistake that you have identical name with another applicant. And the other person may have more advanced standing with Chicago. The alumnus may picked the wrong person to call.
