<p>When do we get to know if we got in?</p>
<p>For regular decision, the people at the admissions office when I went for my interview said they’d be mailing out notifications at the end of March or early April.</p>
<p>Some of you will know in less than three weeks.</p>
<p>Three weeks? For who?</p>
<p>Keelee2: I hope you aren’t planning on taking math if you get into Chicago! (Or counting on your fingers, for that matter : )</p>
<p>I already took math at UofC. The University of Chicago has two addmission selection phases.</p>
<p>When they first look over the application, they group them into the “for sure”, “maybe”, and “no”. The “for sures” get their accepetence letter by the end of February. They then go over the maybes, who get their accepetence letter at the end of March, along with all rejections.</p>
<p>They don’t advertise this process.</p>
<p>uh-oh. people here are going to start going nuts around late february when they start not getting them.</p>
<p>I got a question, if you were deferred, does that mean that you will not be in that “definite pile” since they did not grab us deferrees in the initial round?? Btw, I got accepted to Michigan Honors and Rice (which is extremely selective)</p>
<p>I’m guessing is that they reevaluate your application again along with anything extra you’ve done since being deferred. You might just be in the definite pile according to a new evaluation, or they may put you in maybe as they did with you for EA.</p>
<p>Interesting. Of all the people I know who have gotten into Chicago, none received letters in late February, and I don’t think they were all “maybes.” I thought only Swarthmore, Wellesley and a few others did this. I’m suspicious…</p>
<p>I am not trying to sound cocky or anything, but isn’t Rice harder to get into than Chicago? Maybe, I am missing something but maybe Chicago is looking for a certain type of “person” becuase I know that my number stats are defintely good enough for admission. I am also involved in a number of quality ecs and president of a club and captain of tennis team and have played the violin for a number of years. My stats include 96.4 GPA UNWEIGHTED (4 Aps junior year, 6 Aps senior year), do not rank or weight, 1450 SAT I score, 730, 720, 730 SAT II scores. Thanks</p>
<p>Keelee, if your information is correct, the number in phase one is VEEEEERY small.</p>
<p>Last year, at my D’s HS, the one who received a merit award received notice the same day as those that did not. I think a merit awardee counts as a “for sure”.</p>
<p>Anyway, what math did you take at U. Chicago? What course did you start in? And tell me how you chose that course. Time to prove your bona fides.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is correct. That’s how they do it. And the number is not very small.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A merit awardee does not at all count as a for sure, since they are just as likely to get into the likes of Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, and not do good things for the university’s yield.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>MATH 13100-13200-13300 my first year; currently in MATH 19600 after having done MATH 19500 last quarter.</p>
<p>keelee2 - You say that some people (merit winners) are not “for sure” because they aren’t likely to go. So what is a “for sure” profile?</p>
<p>Dog I was deferred with very similar stats, didn’t wanna go anyway. Guess they saw that.</p>
<p>what about for international students? does anybody know when U of C sends the decisions for internationals?</p>
