UChicago Class of 2023 Applicants

@WeirdNerd13 Most probably. If not, definitely.

Does anyone know what the fees for 2019-2020 is? When will UChicago announce the fees?

I checked yesterday and no 19/20 costs posted yet. It should be soon, I’d think.

When my daughter received her financial aid package two years ago (ED2), it was preliminary because the 2017/18 figures weren’t yet available. That was probably in late Feb. It was updated a few weeks later to reflect the new numbers but I believe that was well into March. Best guess is that they will have next year’s COA available by the time the accepted RD’s are given their FA packages.

Thanks JBStillflying and browniesundae

ED2 will receive their Fin. Aid. awards by 2/28, per the information in my son’s admissions packet.

My son was accepted ED2 and we received his financial aid offer late yesterday afternoon.

^ Good to know they started going out. Hopefully today for us.

@Boothy2002 does this mean that final costs are out?? can you share?

No, the estimates are based on 2018-19 costs and it says 2019-20 costs will be incorporated in the final financial aid package to be shared in the spring. For what it’s worth, the package is very close to what was estimated using the net price calculator.

@catmomof3 - can’t say what will happen for my son, but for my D two years ago they adjusted up the grant so that she still had the same net COA as the earlier initial award based on current, not next year, numbers. We were very happy with the package - it was definitely fair and perhaps even a tad more than we expected.

Our confirmation of enrollment deadline for Early Decision-2 students is March 6, 2019. Regular Decision applicants will be notified of their admissions decisions in early to mid-March.

Does it mean RD results will be starting to begin after March 6th?

RD came out on March 16th in 2018 and March 17th in 2017. I would expect RD this year to come out at 4:00 pm CST on March 15th (Friday).

They will announce the exact date on social media (FB, Twitter, possibly Instagram) several days before.

@85bears46 Alright! So you’re sure of 4 pm CST 3/15? The app portal still says early-mid. I’m thinking that your logic makes sense.

@TheGuy1 I am just basing my prediction on the history of past few years.

For 2018-19 cycle both ED’s came out at 4:00 pm CST. And traditionally RD came out on Friday. No doubt a lot of kids will be disappointed. The University AO wants to put the release day on Friday afternoon so that the disappointed applicants can have the support of their parents over the weekend.

@85bears46 I mean your logic makes sense. So yeah.

I do believe last year they announced about a week prior to the date on the Admissions webpage. 85B46 is correct though, the last 2 years every release has been at 4pm on a Friday.

Hey do any of u know whether uChicago is partial to kids who have gone for their summer programs?(especially if they are credit based courses?)

@WhosYourMommy That depends on how well they did and what kind of impression they made. Could lead to bias against or preference for.
