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.

My speculation is given Chicago’s historically bad yield issues, they are picking wl people who wrote very convincing LOCIs right now, maybe to get some seats filled for sure. I don’t imagine we’re totally out of luck if we didn’t hear back yet
PeeledBanana
11:55
wait so should i be sending in a LOCI?
PeeledBanana

i just havent heard back period and i was under the impression that LOCIs are mostly for WL
