<p>Regular notification</p>

<p>Application due date - April 1</p>

<p>Admissions decision - mid-May</p>

<p>Student reply date - June 1</p>

<p>You can see that early alternative decisions should be mailed in mid-April, and the regular notification deadline is rapidly approaching.</p>

<p>In the office, we've been trying to get the regular notification freshman decisions our the door, which we successfully did yesterday, and we are setting up a new system to read applications, on which our early alternative transfer applicants are the first to be read. We are scanning each application and will read them on computer screens. There are many huge benefits to this for both our office and for you. Credentials will always follow the application, even if they are sent in well after the rest of your application. We can quickly send files to each other or to the next stage. Our offices don't get extremely messy during reading season... the list goes on.</p>

<p>So, that is the transfer update. We are now ready to devote our full attention to these applications and get used to thi new system.</p>

<p>Also, all transfer decisions will be sent out via email this year, something we have never done. I will have more information about this later.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the information. Did you get it from the website or the blog? </p>

<p>Email notification doesnt seem to be too characteristic of UChicago, but I think this is better. No more waiting for the mailman to come all day. Now its going to be refreshing the site in the comfort of my house/school. I tihnk if I get in and I find out when Im in class (like I am now), I'll just walk out. </p>

<p>Probably not, but I like to believe I'm that cool.</p>
