I think it only means that Chicago probably will request an interview. Kinda. It means that I didn't have enough data points to be 100% certain that Chicago was switching over to interviews ?

Vanderbilt is a great program and I’d love to go there but it’s that phenomenon of wishing you had an option between two places to make it meaningful you know?? hahah that probably doesn’t make a lot of sense but serial anxiety here says it does ?

It means that I didn't have enough data points to be 100% certain that Chicago was switching over to interviews ? Part of the problem of having incomplete data. I wasn' referring to this though: someone added a note under "University of Chicago" (first page of the spreadsheet I think?) saying that interview requests were out.

Northwestern is closed at the moment due to weather. The optimistic part of me is hoping that's the reason we haven't heard back. (https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2019/01/northwestern-to-close-campus-due-to-weather/) However, based on past years, their rejections come 3-4 days after acceptances so.....
