Never been on hold, silence since August. Last lingers of hope are disappearing...

Ive been on it since July, I'm getting scared....

I'm not sure how your cycle has been but don't be scared. At least we will be hearing whether it is good or bad news pretty soon.

Edit: Rejected, complete mid August

On hold since July, sent an update a few days ago, no change and no expectations at this point
 
Waiting for the ax... never on hold, complete since mid-September

Still in limbo. No rejection, no hold, and I haven't sent an update. Complete mid-August.
 
hi all! when filling out Pritzker's FAFSA code online, the office of financial aid lists one code which comes up as "The University of Chicago" but when you search Pritzker in FAFSA's database, a different code comes up for the medical school. Does anyone know if both are acceptable/which to use? Thank you! :)

Axed today - not unexpected. Some, but not a real strong research background. Good luck to the few still in the running.

Rejected Pre-II ; LM 78.6 ; Traditional ; Complete Mid-August
 
Have there been any II for hold people or only rejections?

Two people on here seemed to get an II after being on hold (one right before Christmas and another right before New Years). The rest have been rejections I believe

I was on hold for about 2 months, and also received an II before Christmas - LM 70 with tons of ECs and community service so it looks like they're trying to "round out" their class with interesting people after initially pulling in people with high stats

Edit:
Not saying people with high stats aren't interesting, just admitting I have low stats for them, but I have a pretty crazy resume, so I'm guessing that's what they're looking for now

Received II early this week. Finally made a SDN account to help out with what I can since it has helped me out so much. -- never placed on hold, just silence.

Is it fair to assume that those of us remaining will probably receive a rejection in the next couple of days? Glad to have made it this far, but sad that it'll probably end real soon :(

But where did you find March 1, the website said: "Admissions decisions will be released on three dates: October 17, 2016, December 2016, and February 2017"
That was the date the admissions office gave us when I interviewed last week.

Finally rejected. Was complete mid-August or so, never on hold. Not sure why it took so long...
