@ClassicsApp21 I also applied to UChicago! I haven't heard anything besides the email that they have started reviewing applications. Hopefully we'll get more info soon!
This is how the virtual recruitment was described to me: "This event will give us a chance to get to know you a little, and to have you meet a selection of faculty and students in the program. You will have an opportunity to sit in on our graduate classes (via Zoom) and learn about our program, housing, life in LA, and our campus via a series of videos and discussions." To me, this seems to be their COVID-safe alternative to an open house/prospective visits.
