Hello all EAers, ED I and II ers, and RDers!
well, talk about last minute. just did both the uchicago essays in the past 6 hours. would not suggest at all.
^Same. My book/interests list is longer than both my essays combined :)) (Although I do feel like I covered all the bases I needed to in all my essays.)
Did they extend the deadline? I got accepted ED, but I thought the deadline for RD/EDII was January 1st.
@smartspencer yes they extended it to January 3rd!
has anyone got their PIN number and an application confirmation email from UChicago yet?
I had so much fun writing those Uchicago essays for some reason. I created my own prompt and it was quite creative (hopefully)–if not extremely risky.
It was extended to the 9th but Common App still says the 3rd was the deadline?
Since when was it extended to the 9th?
@scarletwitchx I got an email titled “We’re Missing Your Application” on Friday and it stated that I can still submit by Jan 9th, 2017, to be considered for the Class of 2021. I still don’t feel like submitting but thought anyone who missed out because of the deadline should know.
Duke did the same thing with deadline extended until midnight tonight for those that had already shown interest by doing things like sending in recs and scores but failing to send in the application and fee. I don’t think it is available unless you receive the special email.
Huh, I knew it wasn’t always due January third XD I saw the deadline chance on CA and I was like “Hmm… maybe I’m just crazy”
@Sonali11 Yeah, same! The essays were actually pretty fun. I did a flash fiction for my prompt cause I hate regular essays but love creative writing. Oh yeah but I misunderstood how long the Why UChicago one was supposed to be and made it way over the 250 suggested word limit… Oh well.
Does anyone understand what is supposed to happen after applying to UChicago? Are we supposed to get an email with a portal account, or should we create one ourselves?
I created an account, due to the message under ‘What’s Next’ in the CommonApp. However, I cannot see the checklist of items missing and I am really confused.
If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Do you all think that EA applicants who got accepted ED to other schools pulling out affected the number accepted? In other words, do you think some people got accepted AFTER those people pulled out (assuming that those who pulled their applications were accepted)?
@smartspencer - possibly. And future admission decisions would take care of any “shortfall”. They don’t expect all the EA’s to accept anyway.
Son received provisional acceptance letter last week after switch to EDII from EA. Anyone else ?
What is a provisional acceptance letter? Did he need to send in 1st semester grades?
