saverius Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hey fellow applicants! I just got an admission to UChicago Chemistry PhD. Best Christmas gift ever! In the letter it says that I have to submit my final decision (accept/decline) before January 15, I think it's a bit odd. Isn't the deadline normally 4/15? I do have a strong inclination to fulfill PhD study in UChicago but I don't want to rush into it, especially by 1/15 I might not receive responses from most of other schools I applied to. Any suggestions? Merry Christmas to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibenzofulvene Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 My offer letter notes the deadline as 4/15. It would be odd for the deadline to be 1/15 because the visiting days are in February and March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be odd for the deadline to be 1/15 because the visiting days are in February and March Sorry I totally missed your post until now.... I was at UChicago doing summer research so a school visit might not be necessary. In the letter I was offered finishing my undergraduate study there, now think of it, that might be the reason for the early deadline. I probably have to make a decision before the spring semester starts and to make time for visa etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shengwei Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Congrats! I also applied for PhD at UChicago, in molecular engineering at IME. Did you make an early submission? It's really an early offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got an offer via official email but mine doesn't say anything about visitation... For saverius, I have 4/15 deadline as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
