UChicago 2024 RD/ED II

My son and myself received similar email from UChicago this evening at 3.34PM. My son was deferred EA on Dec 2019. Let’s see…

Can you link the reddit post?

Can I have the link?

I am a parent whose daughter (international) was deferred from EA and I received the email as well. As much I would love to believe otherwise. I doubt it means anything. UofC would likely not tip their hand like that.

I am a parent whose daughter was deferred EA, we’ve not visited the school and we both received the email.

Looking at the trends, many of those who received the emails were deferred EA.

please everyone, do not speculate. Decisions are already made and talking about this ‘sign’ is making everyone anxious.

I applied RD and received the email

@h8annah Do you think the e-mail means anything? I applied ED2 and was rejected, but I would like to see if anyone thinks that a college/university might give out an early notification of acceptance.

@Maltamilkbone honestly I have NO clue

I will say that I personally don’t believe that the e-mail means anything. There are just too many people on here who got the e-mail after being deferred EA. The admit rate is around half of a percent for those deferred EA who go to RD, and there are few wait lists for EA applicants.

Actually I think this make sense. The email should be sent to the database of accepted students. Son applied RD, didn’t receive the emil.

it may be waitlisted students as well

I applied RD and got email . Iam intl tho

Since most of us received the email, it’s probably not any sign of acceptance.

I got the email, but I doubt it means anything. However, I’m struggling to understand why they would send an email with such suggestive wording the day before decisions come out (and not even send it out to all applicants). Why not just wait a day and send it only to accepted students? It seems like a poor judgment call by someone in the admissions office. They’ve just invited speculation for no reason.

Adding to this speculation, my friend didn’t get a email and he applied RD as well. Just the wording of the email makes it extremely suggestive that it’s meant to be for a admitted student, but who knows.

My DS didn’t get an email. He applied RD.

There are many signals to me in this email that it is only meant for accepted students, but we’ll see tomorrow.
