A few minutes ago, I received a similar one. Is this a good sign, or are we done? =(

I think it means nothing. Many people receive admission on March 10. Also, I wonder did someone who got an offer before also received this email before?

Got this a few hours ago as well

For those considering Chicago, it seems there has been a spike in crime in the Hyde Park area near the university campus. It has been on going for the past several years and many students and faculty members were targeted.
It's worth it to contact the school to see if this is still an ongoing concern.

Meredith from the UChicago program gave some color on this a while back. She and other students said that they don’t feel any less safe than they would than other places in Chicago and Chicago PD and UChicago PD have stepped up their presence.

I hope Chicago turns this problem around quickly. It affects business and tourism a lot. I visited Chicago in 2017 and it was a great place to visit but things got worse the last few years.
The mayor even lost her re-election because of crime issue.
"Polls showed public safety is by far the top concern among residents of the third-largest U.S. city."

Yep, Chicago residents realize they want change. Politics aside, not many candidates can do much worse than Lightfoot.

Hi all, I just received my decision letter, I'm accepted with 60% in scholarships! I applied at the first round. On the 21st of February Meredith promptly emailed me because the committee wanted an additional letter of recommendation (for a position I hold in a student fund) which I delivered about a week later. I initially was told that I would receive my admission on the 10th of March, but I received it on the 3rd instead. I'm going to accept, if anyone here is admitted and plans on enrolling, do get in touch!
