feedphil Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Hi! Didn't see a thread for UofC Harris 2019. I'm an MPP Candidate and applied early action. Decisions are supposed to go out this week(?), according to a post from Ranjan Daniels on 12/19. Anyone got any info? Edited January 2, 2019 by kfcg
darkroastgopher Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks for starting this thread kfcg! I actually didn't realize the notification date had changed until reading your post just now. I'm getting the same impression you did from his tweet, that early action decisions would go out today/sometime this week. I haven't heard anything recently (I checked my application portal just now) other than a generic "Here's more info on our school and students" packet that I got in the mail today. Good luck to you, OP! Is Harris your top choice?
feedphil Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Good luck to you, too! It's definitely up there. I just applied to HKS and Harris . How about you?

Harris is easily my number one, but I ended up applying to nearly ten schools this cycle (tgod for fee waivers). It's been hard to find transparent data on acceptance rates, yields, applicant profiles, etc. Not knowing where I'm competitive has meant not being able to narrow my scope! If I'm purely going off prior years' forums and Ranjan's tweet, I'm guessing that we'll hear by the 4th. They've historically released the decisions on the portal Friday evenings but make calls to some of those with funding beforehand.
LeoKottke Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I have applied for MSCAPP early action. I saw the tweet too. Hopefully the decisions should be rolled out by this Friday! All the best to everyone. I have applied to HKS, MIT and WWS also.
Timmy Yang Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I got a phone call from UChicago Beijing Center today saying that I am admitted to Harris MPP, but it is said that official offer letters will not come until next week. In fact I initially applied for MSESP but this program are not admitting students in this admission cycle, so I changed to MPP - thank god that my application is still considered in the early action round LeoKottke 1

I also just got my call! (MPP) The representative I spoke to said the same, that all decisions would be in the portal next week but they are calling those with funding now. LeoKottke 1
gradschool123345 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I got a call this morning too! Anyone willing to share how much funding they received? I'm not sure what is considered a competitive offer. LeoKottke 1
jamalliu Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Congrats to all! I received the same phone call yesterday, but the representative didn't mention anything about fundings. Did she tell you guys that you will get some fundings?
Ellie75 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I got my call this afternoon-- also I think I saw a tweet saying they are calling people today and tomorrow. Honestly, I think I'll struggle to believe it until I see it in print, so I hope they post the letters to the portal soon! Good luck to everyone! LeoKottke 1
Amerikanets Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Congrats to everyone who has already posted! I got my call this afternoon too and was accepted to the MPP program. They told me that I would get 20k in scholarship money, but I still want to see it in print before I completely believe it. LeoKottke 1
LeoKottke Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Congratulations to the ones who got the call! Did anyone get a call for MSCAPP? The tweet says they will be calling today and tomorrow. So technically in India, it was last night and tonight. I am still hopeful, let's see.
MoynihanBreakerBurkina Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I applied to Harris MIDP, on regular deadline. Very competitive admission so on va voir
whatisinaname Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Congratulations to the accepted ones. I have applied to MPP but no word on email or portal.
tonton Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Did everybody here receive a holiday card from Harris before Christmas? I do not get call yet though.
LeoKottke Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Last year there were around 10 updates on results board on the same or next day (22/23 Dec 17) when the calls came for EA. This year there's just one. Is that it?
Ellie75 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I'll be adding one once I see the paper offer to make sure I have all the info right/also because I'm still nervous about jinxing it! (I applied for MS-CAPP)
darkroastgopher Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Did anyone else get a sense of when this week they're releasing letters on the portal from when they talked to their admissions rep?
feedphil Posted January 7, 2019 Author Posted January 7, 2019 Just got the call a few mins ago -- in for MPP! Didn't get any info about financial aid and the rep said they would be releasing letters on the portal this week (didn't specify the date) darkroastgopher and LeoKottke 1 1
comaradeshao Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Got a call from Harris representative, she said letters would come out on Wednesday. I am admitted and offered 10k LeoKottke 1

Unfortunately my AD is without scholarship, but it is said that there will be a scholarship reconsideration later so I'd better fight for it lol

There is still no change on my application portal

jamalliu Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Sent an inquiry e-mail to the admissions office just now, and they told me the admissions notifications will be released within the next week...don't understand why they called the applicants so early mfp9 1
