Thu Feb 21, 2008 03:22 PM I received the "Application Complete" e-mail on January 17. Chicago has proven not to release all decisions simultaneously as other Law Schools do (i.e. Harvard, Yale). If you look in previous years threads with regard to Chicago admissions, you will see that Chicago sends out decisions in 2 or 3 groups. Yesterday, they released the first bunch of decisions. In a few weeks from now presumably (could be sooner or later) they are going to release the second bunch. I think (judging from last year's and this year's threads) that it is the policy of Chicago to treat applications in the order they arrive. It seems to me that all people, who received an answer yesterday where notified on the completness of their application until Dec 15th. Thus, I assume that you will be notified with the second bunch of decisions. If you received your application complete notification on January 17, then your application will be reviewed later than other applications, who were submitted much earlier. Consequently, you will be notified later on their decision. I think this is the way that the admission process goes at Chicago. I might be wrong, but their is strong evidence that this is their system. I wish you good luck! [Edited by L&E-pil on 21 Feb 2008] |

Thu Feb 21, 2008 04:46 PM I received the "Application Complete" e-mail on January 17. I doubt this is true. Greg_08 was accepted and he got his notification on January 12th! Greg, who also got accepted said he sent his application at the end of November, which is not very early. I sent my application on December 5th and got my notification on January 11th. It really doesn't make much sense to me... |

I got the completion confirmation on 30 Nov. And now I think I am out of the game. Very disappointed! Anyway, congratulations to all those who have been admitted to Chicago.Fri Feb 22, 2008 04:54 PM |

I sent my application with all documents in early december and I didn't receive any answer about the complention of my application. I have already sent 3 emails and I have got no answer so far... I guess something is wrong and I don't know what to do.

I should mention we got notification of acceptance via email, in which they said that the official documents would be sent via fedex around 20th March.

Just to let you guys know that I also received the admission email last Friday. I could note that there are a lot of Brazilians admitted in this chat. I do think they like Brazil! Good luck to all!

I don't think so...I received the admission two weeks ago together with all the others, anyway I sent them an email today refusing the offer (as Brazil2008) so there will be more room for people still waiting.

FYI: I just got an e-mail a couple of hours ago letting me know I didn't get in. ( :( I really wanted to do some L & E at Chicago. Oh well.) So either it's a second round of e-mails or the Nays from the first round. I got my "application complete" e-mail on 18 December 2007. Just FYI. Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:27 PM Cheers to all those who got in. |

Welcome Everyone,Fri Feb 29, 2008 05:50 PM I just got the admission email. Any other applicants from Poland reading this board? :-) I applied to HLS, SLS, CLS, NYU, Chicago and UPenn, all within regular deadlines. The first decision-related correspondence I ever received was from UPenn - about 2 hours ago (February 29th, waitlisted). I started typing a reply... next thing I know, I get an admission email from Chicago. I figure the admissions offices usually send their replies on Fridays, don't they? Good luck first of all to anyone who applied and yet has to wait for any favourable decision. Second, to all you smart darlings who got into top notch schools and parade the results around this board, congratulations, but you don't need any more encouragement :-) I do embrace your "immediate withdrawal" rule though, which I believe may shorten the suffering of waitlisted applicants. I think it should be a sort of a gentelman's agreement for all LLM applicants and I will also follow it. Once again good luck to all of you! Kindest regards, Tomek |
