I asked one of the admission guy, and she said probably by this week. But another one I am less associated with said it would be by the end of the month.

Idk either. Never heard of that. Maybe it’s when the committee of professors finalized the admission decisions.

Congratulations!! Will everyone be getting their decisions online tomorrow? Also, how many people will be called normally? Should I be worried if I don't hear back tonight?

based on older forums, not everyone gets a call! they're often associated with certain fellowships. i wouldn't worry about it. (-:

fyi, harris released a blog today saying they'll release decisions "over the next few days." https://harris.uchicago.edu/admissions/blog/early-action-decision-release

I went to the Virtual Class room tonight with Prof. Ethan Bueno de Mesquita. Did anyone else see how his ppt presentation was titled "admitted students"? Did only admitted students get an invite to the virtual classroom event?

I feel you big time on looking for anything to latch on to, but I wouldn't read too much into it (unless someone else has some inside knowledge). Guess we'll find out when we find out. Obviously, easier said than done haha.

Hate to burst your bubble (and I wish it wasn't true!) but I haven't submitted my application yet and attended the event. I think it may just be how some professor title their slides, or perhaps in previous years/quarters it was for admitted students.

I did! I signed up for the virtual class experience and the virtual living room event. Both will be very interesting I hope! Definitely looking forward to the class experience for sure. How about you/everyone else?

And omg results are out, congrats to those that got admitted!!!!

My (very minimal) funding amount was disclosed on the admissions call.
