^ That’s the most likely explanation. My guess is that the number of RD people who have heard already =~ 0.

It’s conceivable that there are one or two special situations with athletes who were asked to sign Division I national letters of intent that may have produced something like the Ivies’ “likely letters”. I’ve never heard of Chicago doing that, but I don’t know why they wouldn’t in the appropriate circumstance.

It’s also possible that, as at many colleges, Chicago admissions people will send an appreciative letter or e-mail to a student whose essays they really like. The recipients may mistake this for an acceptance (and most of the time, but not all of the time, it eventually turns into one).
