Yeah, it looks like they sent the feeler email the week before Memorial Day. I guess I wouldn't expect them to make any offers until they send that out.

thank u for looking deeper into it heron!
ClassyPleasantHeron
15:11
You're welcome. I'm still surprised that they don't act sooner, though. Wish I could figure out why.

has anybody ever done a WL interview

@ClassyPleasantHeron: I feel like they are potentially waiting out other T-6 waitlists
trees1234567
15:14
to see if they lose any people to other similarly ranked schools
ClassyPleasantHeron
15:15
I guess? All of the T6 have a May 1st deadline, so I wouldn't expect UChicago to go last.

15:17
right I agree - that's the only thing I could come up with haha
ClassyPleasantHeron

Thought I just had about UChicago: I wonder if they're (relatively) stingy about financial aid, such that they end up losing deposited students during May once the aid is sorted out. They have a 5/31 deadline for loan applications, so that would jibe.

trees1234567
15:45
good point heron
ClassyPleasantHeron
15:45
T2 as in Tier or as in Top?
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
15:45
Tier
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
15:45
The Law School Tiers article has them as T2

... that's cap imo but your mileage will vary
ClassyPleasantHeron
15:46
Yeah, I'd consider them in the 7-14 -- squarely in the traditional top 14, but also squarely outside of the top six.
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
15:47
They consider Tier 1 any T14 in the article, must be outdated.

I'm shocked that LSD has outdated, incorrect information. Shocked, I say!
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
15:47
Lol is that a common thing?
Mountaineer99
15:48
yes, very
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
15:48
They also have Berkeley and UCLA as T2.... lol
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
15:48
And Stanford!
ClassyPleasantHeron
15:49
It's a poorly edited article. They have schools in both tiers.
ScandalousSeriousBaboon

I take back my surprise for NU.... seems like the definition of T2 is very off lol
