Notes on Application

[dgh204]

I just checked on my University of Chicago app, which I submitted at the last minute possible last night, and I couldn't help but notice that there is a note on the application - the lowercase 'f.'

In the world of education, seeing the letter F generally doesn't make one feel warm and fuzzy.

Hoping someone out there might have some idea or explanation for said note...

I dunno, mine has that too. Been there since I submitted it. Maybe it's 'f' for 'finished?" Haha.

Where exactly on the application is the "f" appearing?

I didn't find it...

f=female?

I thought of best-case scenario:

f = fellowship.

This person is so awesome we want to recommend them for tons of funding, stat.

I just heard back from Chicago...I thought it couldn't hurt to inquire. And, apparently the 'f' simply means that they have already created a file for you. Phew.

Though, the best-case scenario of f = fellowship would have been lovely
