Optimist

A Harris grad has made some very helpful comments on this board and knows of the frustration being expressed here, a current Harris student started an "ask me" chat several days ago as the big wave of acceptances started, and the Admissions Office has sent out 2 separate "we'll be late with decisions" emails. The Harris Admissions Office has admitted, rejected, waitlisted, and offered big packages - or no financial aid - to people with last names from A to Z. It's clear that a bunch of folks haven't heard anything yet - including at least one with near perfect GRE scores with admits to more competitive places. I don't get it. The office is acting like the airline pilots who keep the plane on the tarmac without giving honest, accurate status updates. This doesn't seem like the way the University of Chicago would manage anything, even if there's been a meltdown of technology and staff. How about some transparency.
