Has anyone heard anything yet? The wait is killing me. I checked the application portal and there is a "decision documents" icon, but when I click on it, it says there is nothing to report.

Well, that's mildly depressing.

@MPA__Applicant same here. WWS got my scores, but not so for HKS. I think I am going to give it until next week, and then reach out if it is still marked as incomplete.

I think decisions are coming out on Friday? -- https://harris.uchicago.edu/admissions/blog/early-action-review-and-decision-release

Does anyone else still have an "incomplete" application? It says they are missing my GRE scores, but I paid for ETS to send the scores at the beginning of November. Should I be concerned or, per the earlier blog posts, is this just the lag in checking applications?

Just got confirmation that my application is complete! Now, for the long wait. Does anyone know if NYU releases decisions all at once, or if there is a chance we could hear back before 3/2/18?

Well, that kind of sucks.

I haven't seen anything officially in writing. I did hear the 15th verbally from an admissions rep. I feel like it could be anytime around the 15th - maybe a window of a few days on either side. That being said I woke up to an email from Harris this morning and freaked out, but it was just promoting an upcoming webinar.

I'm finalizing my WWS app now - Dec. 15th is fast approaching! Also applied to HKS, Harris (EA), and GSPP and have apps in the works for a few others.

What makes you think that? Do they look at apps on a rolling basis before the deadline? I submitted mine only two days before the deadline, so I doubt I'll hear anything so soon.

Crossing my fingers for all of us here on GradCafe! The anticipation is killing me. It is going to be a long two or so weeks.

I just set my DSLR camera up on some books and shot it straight on, and did some minor edits, etc in iMovie. If video skills is required for admission, I certainly won't be getting in!

I can't tell if I like the quick turn around. I think it might be making me more anxious because I went straight from worrying about the app to worrying about the result and didn't have that extra time to cool off.

When I visited I think they said the 15th. That being said I think they keep it intentionally vague on the website because, based on old threads on GC, they have had some issues with meeting specific deadlines for results. I don't know about funding - would be interested in any insights people have. I have noticed that on GC some people were able to use higher funding offers from other schools to renegotiate with Harris, although the increases were generally pretty small.

I'm also applying by Dec 1. Just finalized my video this weekend - trying not to re-watch it too many times because I hate how I look/sound on camera! Not sure about all the fellowships, but in the application there is box you check "yes" if you want to apply for fellowships. Then a drop down with two fellowships appears, and you can enter the essay in a box below.

Didn't see a thread for Harris 2018, so I thought I would start one since today is the Early Action deadline! Did anyone else apply Early Action? Chicago is my top choice, so I am crossing my fingers until we hear back in mid-December...
