<p>I was wondering what the typical wait time was before Chicago sends you the e-mail with instructions of how to set up a UChicago account?</p>
<p>I submitted my app yesterday evening, and got the email an hour or so ago.</p>
<p>Just got it as well! I submitted mine yesterday as well!</p>
<p>I’ll give this caveat to EA applicants. Sign up and get your acct now if you can. My D submitted her EA app a couple hours before the deadline last year. There was an overwhelming volume of applications, her account processing was delayed several days, and she missed the window to request an interview. She was deferred EA but was able to get an interview when regular app window opened up. She was then accepted in the regular round. If this had any effect, one will never know…</p>
<p>I just got the official answer from one of the admissions counselor:
You should get your account within 48 hours of submitting the application.</p>
<p>you can’t actually check the status of your application until the 15th, right? or am i missing something?</p>
<p>Do you have to submit the Common App to get an account or just the supplement? I submitted my supplement yesterday but I am still finalizing the Common App and I plan to send it tomorrow or on Saturday.</p>
