Seems like the process has been delayed; hopefully we can get messages next week.

By this time last year, there were two rounds of interview invites - once on 9th feb and other on 16th feb (coincidentally both fridays).
There has been none this time around. Did anyone attend the recent session conducted by MSFM team?

 

[ShivC]

UChicago don't do interviews, they directly give results.

This is accurate. There were no interviews @nkscb

If you're referring to past trackers, those are likely to be the video portfolio that applicants submitted as a part of their applications.

I was confused as well but it seems like the interviews from UChicago in the tracker are for masters in finance and not the fin math program

I see that @Meredith was active on this thread, if we can request her to give some update to calm our nerves.

Does anyone know when UChicago starts announcing their results?

 

[nkscb]

Last year they gave some results on 9th, 16th and 23rd feb (all fridays). So maybe today could be the first batch of results.

 

[Meredith]

Yes, we expect to begin releasing decisions starting this week and will continue to do so through the end of March! Hope this helps the nerves

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Hi Meredith, I submitted the application before R1 deadline but one LOR arrived after 10 days, will it be considered for R1 or R2 ?

 

[matinal]

I got a response from Chicago today. Accepted. They sent the first batch today.

 

[AryaaG]

Same here.

 

[Tejas Pandya]

Any idea whether the results declared by Chicago are in batches of result status i.e. 1st batch only those accepted, 2nd batch- waitlisted… and so on? or is it based who submission of application timeline?

Last time they released accepted candidate’s results in atleast 3 batches and most probably 4 batches for R1.

 

[matinal]

Got in too..3 out of 3 have a rather difficult choice to make between Gatech(affordable) vs UChicago without any scholarship.. any advise is most welcome.

I am trying to figure out whether Chicago or New York is the better market

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Congratulations to everyone with an admit from Chicago. You guys have collectively received a $436,550 in scholarship amount so far, with $28,350 min, $47,250 max and $36,380 average.
This is an amazing achievement and a huge statement of the high calibre of our members.
The numbers will grow as more people receive admission and scholarship. I'll do a tally follow up.
