I just received a rejection letter from U Chicago.   Disappointed since it's my top choice. 

I just got word from them and was waitlisted

Thank you for sharing! Super appreciative of you doing so and of everyone else doing so on the forum. I do find it frustrating that schools do not prioritize timely notice of rejections. If there is already an existing and agreed upon short-list of more candidates than spots to account for those who are extended an offer and turn it down, there isn't really a reason to leave those who did not pass the first round of review in limbo. 
It's become increasingly clear that I will have to apply again in future cycles so any advice (not already stated previously) about re-applying is welcomed. I am interested in reaching out to schools for feedback (which I did not know possible until I read about it in this forum). It seems like previous posters who talked about this did interview at the school. Given that I was not invited to interview, would the schools even be able to provide feedback beyond a generic answer? Anyone with experience or opinions on this?

Oh my god! just found out that I got into Columbia! Wish everyone good luck!

I just received an acceptance email from The University of Texas at Arlington!  I don’t think anyone in this thread applied to UTA, but it was my top school and the only one I applied to (so I was nervous)!  Best of luck to everyone!  

GOT INTO COLUMBIA TODAY!!!!!!!!!
BC acceptance last week. 
 
HOPING GOOD NEWS FOR ALL, I am shaking with excitement 

Chicago doesn't do interviews and they said they're planning on releasing decisions as early as Feb 15th, but all the way until March 15th. 

Hi sorry I didn't mean to say interviews, I meant first round of applications! They're not doing interviews. Again, apologies for the mistake!

Hey all! I contacted UChicago SSA's admissions team to ask for a general timeline and they're currently going through first round of interviews. Second round will be towards the end of January and the hope is to send out offers mid February-late February. I hope that helps for all applying there!
