UChicago Class of 2023 Applicants

@catmomof3 yep at 2am

@rolldep my financial aid checklist is gone ( ed2) and then @catmomof3 I received the letter that my application is complete on January 17th, but I haven’t last night

I got that email Jan 24th @catmomof3

@toomanydonuts @elzmor did you guys fill out any financial aid forms?

@rolldep I did

@toomanydonuts @elzmor damn any ideas why then?

Guys - my son’s Application checklist is gone but the FA checklist still there. The mystery deepens!

I’ll repeat some advice that I posted earlier on this thread. Please, for your own benefit, do not try to read anything into any weird or coincidental things that may occur before decisions are posted as a signal that something should be read as an acceptance or rejection. It will only cause other people to think good or bad thoughts that are going to be unrelated to that weird or coincidental thing.

Sit back and think positive thoughts. There is really nothing you can do between now and 4pmish CST to impact the outcome. I’ve been through this with two kids in the past three years. They will be loading a ton of data into their database or dumping a file which will cause the portal site to go a little wiggy. Some will experience things and others won’t and it will not be because somebody got the “Congratulations” message and others got the “Your Great, but we want you to excel elsewhere” message.

Please, use this thread to wish each other luck for the rest of the day.

Okaaay, I went to UChicago portal once again and now the checklist there. Yet, there is this, which wasn’t there (or I didn’t notice):

“Thank you for checking on your application status! At this time, we have processed all of your application materials, and our committee is in the process of finalizing decisions for Early Decision 2 and Regular Decision applicants. We will notify you via email when your admissions decision is ready to be viewed. Early Decision 2 applicants will be notified in the late afternoon on Friday, February 15. Regular Decision applicants will be notified in early to mid-March.”

Answers to previous questions:

  1. in the past the decisions have come out between 4 pm and 5 pm central time.

  2. The possible decision outcomes are Accept, Waitlist, Deny. Check the website for answers to questions such as these.

  3. If you apply for FA (and are NOT an international student) then you may either submit the CSS or the UChicago Fin. Aid. worksheet. Either is fine.

@allikori me too!

@elzmor - that message showed up earlier this week for others. All it means is that they are getting ready to finalize decisions. Don’t read anything into the timing of when that message appeared.

When are decisions coming out?

@agr771 ED 2 comes out today

Do you happen to know what time?

Should be 4-5 cst

Are the results out?

Losing my mind rn…

Almost there

Good luck to all who are waiting on a decision!
