Hello all, just coming to say that I wound up hearing back from U Chicago today. No official offer, but heard from POI that I had been accepted. Seems like I might be one of the earlier ones to find out, and that more news will be coming in the next few days.
FWIW, I was not asked to interview after turning in my application, as others have been.
Best of luck to those still waiting! And thanks for the posting and encouragement these last few weeks. It has been a struggle this year, knowing I was not alone made the difference
