So is it that we should get emails today and the portal updated tomorrow?

So far I've been accepted to Harris with $15k a year in funding. Still waiting to hear back from Sanford and LBJ. Since I want to focus on tech policy, Sanford's concentration is appealing. But Harris' heavy quant focus and curriculum flexibility really draw me in too. My end goal is to end up at a policy research firm. I'm probably getting ahead of myself since I don't technically have a choice to make yet, but I'm curious what others think!

if you scroll down to the very bottom of your admissions letter, there's a link to the financial aid letter below it!

My financial aid package is in my portal! I got $15k a year. So uh, anyone know how to afford this? lol. Also, have you gotten your FAFSA packages yet?

did you ask them or did they just tell you?

i haven't gotten an email either. they told me on my call that they'll send them out tonight. they didn't say anything to me about funding on the call, so we'll see haha.

thank you! and no, i think they're using their personal cell phones since they aren't in the office!

I just got a call from admissions. I'm in!

what a tease omg

fyi, harris released a blog today saying they'll release decisions "over the next few days." https://harris.uchicago.edu/admissions/blog/early-action-decision-release

based on older forums, not everyone gets a call! they're often associated with certain fellowships. i wouldn't worry about it. (-:

one admissions person told me that last week was "committee week." any idea what that means?

ooh i didn't hear that! you know more than me haha. did they say that in a session or one on one?

i heard from admissions that they got more EA apps than they expected, but i'm not sure if it's more than usual or they just expected less this year.

I applied EA and for the CEG fellowship! Going to the virtual classroom tomorrow. Are any of y'all going to the Chicago CRED event on Wednesday?
