Uchicago "communications" disappeared and then reappeared today. COuld this mean anything?
I don't think so, it happens every once and a while to me and I haven't thought anything of it
What if you went complete in March? Are there more interview invites coming?
15:46
Applied 12/3 and haven't heard anything. Complete radio silence. Should I write a LOCI?
PeeledBanana

Are we expecting an A wave today?
13:05
I genuinely have no clue when to expect anything from them at this point, just crossing fingers and praying lmao
14:22
I had my interview yesterday, dying from the anticipation
@xzouv: did they say how long to expect a decision?
15:38
3/29 seems to be a popular decision date based on the data from the last few years. I would be surprised if they released decisions this week if they are planning to on 3/29.

Did Chi give no WAVE
