Amazing advice! @BrianBoiler 
I just have one question: Does UChicago send both a letter and an email for acceptance (for ED1 or EA) on the release date? If so, will these be received on the same day?
Thank you so much for your wise advice!
The only official correspondence that we received last year was an email stating that the portal has something to look at and then the portal with the admission decision. We only did ED1, so I can’t talk about EA, but I suspect it is the same. Once we accepted the offer of acceptance, stuff did appear in the snail mail box in the USA. Not sure about internationally, but if YouTube International bloggers are to be believed, the same “stuff” package was sent to Singapore or Hong Kong too.
Thank you SO much @BrianBoiler ! And my last question for you: Do you remember the date in which your son got the acceptance letter? 
It was the date that they announced last year. Remember it’s a portal post and an email telling you something is in the portal. I seem to think 12/18 as it was also my wife’s birthday.
Awesome! As of now, I will be taking your previous advice. Thank you again! @BrianBoiler
How did you guys the 2 minute video? What did you talk about?
Hello, y’all. I applied EA to UChicago and just stumbled upon this thread for moral support. I can’t wait until decisions come out. Good luck to all of you!!
My video was 2 minutes and 45 seconds long, is that bad?
Someone did 3.17mins :))
Also, you all are invited to see my video. Just type in my name Tomisin Latona on youtube
There are several videos you can see on YouTube if you search for “UChicago video profile”. I loved the one with the unicycle.
That was my favorite one
Mine was over three minutes… I figured they could stop watching at the two-minute mark if they wanted, but if not, they could see more of who I am? I’m hoping they won’t count it against me.
Last year the date and time (CST) was published on the UChicago Undergraduate admissions website about a week ahead of the date. I’d keep checking there as that will be the first place it will probably be publicized. When you have it, post it here. I’ve seen people say Dec. 14, last year I think it was the 18th. You’ll get an email telling you’ve a message in your UChicago account. That message will be your admissions decision.
Yes, last year it was Monday, December 18th
is anyone going as an Econ major? or test optional?
@BrianBoiler @caymusjordan Thank you. I heard Dec. 14 would be the date for this year, but want to confirm the official date.
Anyone knows the date? Thanks.
I check the applicant portal approximately 10000 times a day and have @ViewChicago on my Twitter Alert. I can assure you that there has been no official announcement of Decision Day for ED1. Best guess is still December 17th. I will certainly post anything official when I see it!
Anyone got likely letter?
