Still nothing new from UChicago?

still nothing! getting nervous honestly, 'cause I thought we would get back to us after weekend...keep you posted, but I'm now start losing hope...best of luck!

Anyone willing to create a facebook group? I will then...

Hi Crimlawyer. I think that nobody will create a Facebook group until they have decided, definitely, to accept Chicago's offer.

For example, in my case I will wait for NYU, CLS, Berkeley and HLS (not Penn, since I prefear Chicago) before accept the offer.

Is Chicago your first option?

Cheers!

This is why the group is called

UChicago LL.M. 2009 admitted, soon to be UChicago LL.M. Class of 2010

My guess is that we have assisted to the first two rounds of decisions, and now they are about to start the third one. This one is taking more time because (1) it is the last one, as they expressed in their email about two weeks ago ("we hope to complete the others within tree weeks...") and (2) it is the most difficult, as many spots have been taken but also many people that have been accepted have not indicated whether they will actually enroll. This makes it extremely difficult to calculate how many offers they can make. My forecast now is that we can expect to hear from them not earlier than thursday night.
My encouragement to all those who are awaiting like me...be faithful!

I just wrote to Mr Badger and got a reply today. He said there will be no decision on any standby group applicants until after april 15. So guys, need to be very patient now...

What makes me worried is that I was also accepted by NYU@NUS program and have to prepare earlier since the program starts at May. So, if Chicago does not notify me immdediately after april 15, I would have to give up the chance and give best wishes to all other applicants on the waitlist.

Dear fellow,

sorry to bother once more, but I was wondering if you have already got a decision (waitlisted perhaps?), or you've yet to get any decision from UChicago? I start worrying since I'm one of the few applicants with no news at all...I tried to send an enquiry to Mr Badger last week, but no feedback yet... anybody else in my shoes? thanks

Stagista11: I think you may just give them a call and ask directly.

guess you're right, but unfortunately I've 12 hours time difference between my actual office and chicago...I think I'll try with another e-mail before calling. let's see what happens. thanks for your suggestion

I, too, am awaiting a response. My file complete date was Feb. 5. Perhaps the Admissions Committee is completing its review of all remaining files (the last 11% to which Mr. Badger referred in his email) before issuing all final decisions of admit/deny/waitlist?

Chicago is my dream school, as well, and I am so eager to learn of the Committees decision.

Best wishes to all

Hello!
Concerning the standby group, i know it's like the 100th time i'm writing this in this thread, and i'm sorry for it, but i got back to Mr Badger (again) today, third attempt (Feb 5th, Feb 12th and today), to confirm that i wanted my app. to be further considered for admission...
and still no answer...
so.
A/ my mail gets into the "spam" mailbox of Richard
B/ Richard just does not like me
C/ he has no time (but i read in this thread that some people would get answers the same day...)
D/ i'm running out of ideas... :)

any idea someone?
I wish I could call but same pb as stagista11, with time zones etc.

thanks!!

well ok I might have got impatient, Richard Badger very kindly just answered me... ;-)
now let's wait for April 15th with crossed fingers.... !

I got an email just few hours ago....rejected! :(((

Sorry to hear that nail! but - sorry if I insist - did you get a decision on Saturday? do you think they're working also in weekend time?

Yes, the email was sent on saturday, about 11 am their time.
Good luck to you and everyone else who is still waiting for news from them!

Gregor, I think that chances are they do take people with many qualificatons and that are currently enrolled in PhD programs...the problem might be when those people say they want to concurrently pursue a JSD at Chicago!

sorry to bother once again. may I ask when your application was complete?

Hey everyone,

have you heard any news from the financial aid decisions? understood that they would send the decisions around march 15th....thanks for the answers in advance!
