You made this thread about thirteen days too early.

I know. I just felt like it. Last year's was posted around the same time.

It's fine if it's early. Just try to get the mods to sticky and lock the other one you made.

I did. I am waiting now. The other one is different though.

Chicago sends likely letters?

ncmaalltheway

I've asked around; Uchicago doesn't, I don't think.

phuriku

Chicago does send likely letters. It apparently started last year with the new Dean of Admissions Nondorf. No one knows how much they send each year, though.

what exactly does like'y letters say? Is it bad if you don't get one? If you do get one, is your acceptance almost guaranteed?

phuriku

If you get one, you're basically guaranteed acceptance. I don't think they send very many out at all, though. So if you don't get one, you're basically in the same pool as everyone else, and there's no need to worry even in the slightest. I imagine they only send them to the extremely qualified applicants who will probably get in everywhere they apply (Harvard, et al.), so that Chicago can start tempting them early. Those students and the athletes they really want.

Does Chicago reject any applicants EA? Or only accept and defer? I scanned some of the recent EA decisions thread and couldn't find any (legitimate) rejections. I went to one of the summer information days, and thought I heard some speaker (assistant dean of admissions?) say that Chicago doesn't reject EA applicants, but now I don't remember, and I REALLY don't want to find out when I view my decision haha. Thanks for any info!

Nah dude, they reject EA.
