Transfer decisions are ready!
Applicants can log into the online application to retrieve their decisions. We ended up admitting around 40 students each round, early and regular. A small handful of students were wait listed, and you can claim your spot on the waiting list online. We also put decisions in the mail last Friday. Even if you didn't get an email notifying you that your decision was ready to check online, your decision is ready to check online.

Transfer decisions are available!
Early action transfer decisions are available online -- just log into the online application to view your decision letter. We also put paper decisions in the mail yesterday. We also sent an email (which you probably got) an hour and a half ago notifying you that it's high time to log into the Uncommon Application and check your decision. So, if we received an early action application from you... log in and check your decision!
A few notes for admitted students...
Transfer credit - transfer credit evaluations will be sent out next week, so watch for those.
Financial aid - we will not be sending any financial aid decisions until after May 1 when we get the freshmen out of the door. If this is an issue, or you're worried about your application being complete or correct, you should call the aid office at 773-702-8655.

Transfer credentials are open
Regular notification transfer applicants can now check their credentials online by logging into the online application and clicking "Check credentials."
However! We are still processing credentials, so there is no need to resend anything that is missing (unless, of course, you know for a fact that you forgot to send it in the first place.)
Later this month we will finish our work and encourage students whose applications remain incomplete to send us missing documents. Until then, there is no need to do anything.

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!
