@Meganerd2012 Thanks for taking initiative and calling the office! Come to think of it, it makes more sense that they’d start contacting people next week. I’d expect the RD yield to be lower than usual because many people who had UChicago as their first choice applied ED, and those who were in the 2% to be accepted RD were most likely also accepted to places like HYP. Most people don’t wait until May 1st to commit, especially with UChicago because committing determines housing priority.
Even so, I expect there to be very few acceptances this year. I’d be grateful if they even had 30 spots left (not implying that I’d get one of those spots lol). Let’s not get our hopes up.
