What is your top pick? Thanks Zayah, that's so kind! UChicago is my top pick, but only if I'm offered substantial financial aid. I'm not willing to go $70,000 into debt over a 1 year degree. UIC and IUPUI are priced similarly - even though UIC is out of state for me. Not sure which of those two I would pick if they are my main options. I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not I should stay in Indianapolis (mostly because of family/life circumstances, professionally it's a no brainer to move to Chicago). UofM I'm really not sure about. Great program obviously, but I really value city life and being surrounded by diversity and Ann Arbor is just so affluent. Racially diverse, sure, but not very diverse socioeconomically speaking. Time will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvySWCu Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I heard decisions may start be released today................................ and Im dying. I really have no idea what to expect. Apart of me is " you totally got this" and the other part is "how could you possible get into your dream school". @mswanxiety Edited January 10, 2020 by Zayah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago is a great place for all of what you are looking for, so hoping you get in Gotcha on the life circumstances, etc. Good thing is if you do not move - you do not have to worry about the crazy living prices here in Chicago. I go back and forth about tuition fees all the time for grad school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katp Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 hey y'all sounds like decisions are rolling out! Congrats to those getting acceptances! Can I ask if anyone who's heard back from umich also applied for any special programs? I haven't heard anything yet and starting to get a little antsy even though it's actually still pretty early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savannahopes Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Would anyone recommend calling umich to inquire about application decisions? I don’t want to pester or frustrate anyone, as I’m sure they get a lot of phone calls. Has anyone done this and had a positive or negative experience they’re willing to share?

simonsays Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 @ZayahIt just changed to show my concentration and specialization at the top - I don't think it means anything, just maybe changing the format before they roll out decisions over the next month.

If you don’t mind sharing, did you hear back good news?? I’m getting increasingly worried, but hopefully that is the anxiety talking! I wish you the absolute best in getting into Columbia, I’m sure calling and simply asking what it means that the concentration is now showing from the portal wouldn’t hurt!
