It took me one week and one day. I also noticed they pulled my report on LSAC.

oh yeah, i got a different confirmation e-mail. probably because I didnt use the LSAC and sent in my original transcripts!

why did you choose chicago crimlawyer? :)

I guess my relationship with UoC goes way back. It wasthe main source of inspiration for me during graduation, not only for its law department, but for its political philosophy thinkers. I also am a member of a think tank devoted to promoting the values and principles of a free society, and align myself politically as a libertarian. Thus, I believe that not only academically, but ideologically, Chicago is the university of my dreams.

sorry for asking you all about a my own concern, but yesterday I got an information I didn't know before. I can easily be mistaken, but I thought UoC asks 100 as iBT score, while yesterday I got a mail from their admissions office calling me for 104 instead of 100...did you know anything about this? I'm just lucky I got 104! happy thanksgiving!

104 for sure... it says on the toefl part of their paper app.

Right, just called them finally:

- they're not confirming the actual receipt of the application but only the fact that the application has been found complete and has been processed and forwarded to the actual admissions board
- this processing process (hehe) takes usually a week
- taking into a count the average delivery duration of two weeks and the fact that Thanksgiving interrupted that process and the huge amount of arriving application at the moment: three weeks without news is nothing to be worries about

*sigh*

hey!

thanks for the info but despite applications being considered on a rolling basis, don't offers only get sent out in Feb 09? Still a long wait for I guess!


cheers,

Well, what a coincidence! Later last night I also received my email, finally. The waiting has now officially started!

February was the time apps. started to get sent out according to last year's threads on this board. I wouldn't infer a general rule from that, but it's still some sort of orientation. Still way sooner than the decisions of Harvard, NYUetc..

sent my applicant on tuesday the 2nd!

Finally!, a response from chicago...just received an email from them:

"Thank you for submitting your paper application materials for the LL.M. program at the University of Chicagos Law School. We ordered your transcripts and/or TOEFL score from LSAC. We will keep your materials in a working file until we have received all of the outstanding documents. Once the file is complete and we submit it to the Graduate Studies Committee, we will send you another email."

Finger crossed everybody..

cheers

The second email I received last nigth reads as follows:

"Your application file is complete and has been submitted to the Graduate Studies Committee for evaluation.

Consideration of completed applications will begin in late November. The Committee will make three types of decisions: admission, deny, and standby group (waiting list). It is our policy to send you these decisions via email as soon as they are made. Please send an email message to llm-admissions@law.uchicago.edu if you would prefer not to receive these decisions via email.

*********We usually begin to send decision emails in early February and we will continue to send them through April. ************Candidates initially placed in the standby group will usually receive final decisions between late April and early June.
"

Mine arrived just yesterday...

Best regards,

hi!

I haven't received the complete application email yet... could you please tell me when you sent your application and/or when you received the first email?
thanks a lot!

I am no parameter. I sent my app some twou to three weeks ago, but since one they were waiting for one of my letters of recommendation, which probably arrived only these last couple of days, I received two e-mails from them.

But here is the thing. I gave them a ring yesterday. They told me the letter had not arrived yet, which I found very strange. But then at the end of the day, they must have noticed that they received it and sent me the e-mail.

So, I think that if you call them, it kinda speeds thing up...
