Credentials are open!

Early action transfer applicants can check their credentials by logging into the online application and clicking Check Credentials.

If something is missing, we need it to be resent. It doesn't matter if you didn't send it, if you thought you sent it, if you obviously sent it and it fell behind the office couch - we need it. Many documents can be faxed or even emailed to get them here faster, but some cannot.

Documents that can be emailed or faxed:

Email: questions@phoenix.uchicago.edu (please include a subject line)

International Fax: 773-702-4704

Baseball team's trip to Japan

There was a pretty cool article in the Chicago Tribune the other day about our baseball team's spring break trip to Japan. In turns out that they're revisiting a rivalry started back in 1910. I hope they do OK!

Have you received everything?

We are still working on processing transfer credentials. At some point later this month we will open credentials checking online. We will let you know on this blog when credentials checking is available.

You're still welcome to apply early action

Early action applicants should submit their applications by midnight tonight!

Also, you may request an alumni interview until midnight on March 5.

Transfer early action deadline

The transfer early action deadline has passed, but we've gotten a lot of emails from students who meant to apply early and were a little late. The application closed right at midnight, which is not something we wanted to have happen, and I'm not quite sure why it did. We're not strict deadline people over here. I'm working on opening it back up so that students who wanted to apply early action can still do so. I'll let everyone know later when we have the early action deadline opened again.
