<p>HI all, </p>
<p>My best friend’s D applied to Chicago this year and the admisson office told her that the decision would appear on her webpage Saturday, March 25th. However, that didn’t exactly occur yesterday. </p>
<p>She made a following-up phone call to the office and was told “the university of Chicago experienced a 3 hour power outage and the decision will be delayed by three days”</p>
<p>Is that really true for everyone? She is growingly worried. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i know there was a power outage at uchicago, and it did delay the mailing of decision letters… but chicago doesn’t post their decisions online, so im not sure why they would have told your friend’s daughter that. Unless they are int’l, they should receive their letter in the mail sometime next week (hopefully).</p>
<p>From what I understand there was some disruption in the internal database so there was a slight delay in mailing decisions. Since Chicago mails decisions and does not post online, when those letters are received depends a great deal on the US mail. Last year there was remarkable variation; the NW was very fast, Texas quite slow.</p>
<p>hmm hopefully the nw is fast again!!</p>
