I interviewed here back in early October, and have yet to hear anything back. Does anyone have any clue on if they're doing post interview rejections? Loved the school, but after this much silence it's starting to reek of a rejection.

I interviewed Mid-November, and I'm wondering if anyone from that time has heard back. Does it mean we're waitlisted automatically if we hear nothing?

I interviewed in August and didn't hear about an acceptance until almost the end of December! It's definitely still possible.

Has information for revisit weekend gone out? I haven't received anything yet... Also, how do you know they cover the cost of flights?
Click to expand...

Yes, at least some basic info was in the folder you should have received in the mail. However, I have heard nothing about flights being covered? That would be gnarly haha. @hotcheetomania where did you hear this?

Lol they pay for you to go there

I don't recall any revisit offering to subsidize travel for applicants in general - that could easily cost the school many tens of thousands of dollars. Only accepted MD/PhD candidates and sometimes very compelling financially disadvantaged applicants (depends on the school) will get their flights paid. If you think you fall into the second category, it might be worth a shot to email the admissions office, but otherwise revisit is like interviews where you pay your way to attend but once you're there everything is taken care of.

That being said, Pritzker revisit was by far the best organized and enjoyable revisit that I attended or heard about from other applicants. The meals, hosting, and activities during the weekend probably cost more than the plane tickets (not true of all revisits) and the informational sessions provided useful info and perspective. Current students are actively involved in the sessions so there's never an administrator lecturing you from a PowerPoint ad nauseam (yes, that happened elsewhere). If you have the funds, I'd highly recommend accepted applicants to come! The revisit ends Saturday night, and you can get more bang for your airline buck if you spend the next day exploring Chicago or scouting housing options (student hosts are available Saturday night so no extra hotel fees).

I wonder if they will update all of the interviewees of their status (accepted, WL, etc.) at that time as well? Besides acceptances it's just been silence for all of the post-IIs, right?

My status after my interview still says “your application is ready”... does everyone’s say this? Or do people have other ones? (After their interview)

does Pritzker have a systems-based curriculum or a "classific curriculum"? It seems like from their website it looks a bit more classic but I just wanted to make sure..
 
It is classific, not systems based. Also I spoke with someone from admissions tonight and she said they were trying to get all post-interview decisions out by the end of this month.

anyone know when early December interviewees might hear back? trying to be patient...
 
For those who have been accepted without scholarship, does Pritzker usually update/announce financial aid packages before revisit? Submitted the aid documents at the start of this month.

I'm getting anxious. I interviewed in early December and they said the earliest we would hear back is mid-February and the latest would be March 1st.
