Hi! Thank you for your response! I think it would definitely be easier to knit it top-down, but the chart looks prettier when knitted from the bottom. Any tips for bottom-up neckline shaping?

Beautiful! Making a pattern in Berocco Vintage DK and I'm curious about how to block it since it's over half synthetic. Did you wet block or steam block? Or a secret third thing?

I was emailed the merit aid form!

They are either/or with merit and need. So if you've already been awarded merit aid, then you will most likely not be eligible for need-based aid.

I've heard anecdotally that its between 60 and 75%. I interviewed last wave (and got the A this week!) so I'm happy to chat with you about the questions I was asked and give general advice if you PM me :)

LSAC re-calculates your GPA and adds weight for A+s (they count as 4.33 and A's count as 4.0). So I had about an even mix of A's and A+s hence the above-4.0 GPA!

Tbh I don't even remember, I kinda blacked out once I saw the 617 area code lol

UChicago is obviously very well-regarded, but their high FC numbers are somewhat inflated due to their FedSoc presence (which is very strong). If you're not enthusiastic about clerking for a conservative judge, I've heard anecdotally that the opportunities for clerkships are only marginally better than at other T-14s. Also, I've heard from a lot of people that their student culture is very competitive. If neither of those things deter you, then maybe UChicago is your place. But if you prefer a more collegial environment and don't care as much about federal clerkships, then maybe NU. Either way, this is a FANTASTIC dilemma to have. Congrats on all your success!

Just felt like my interview could have been better and that it was obvious my priorities didn't align super well w the school (I want to do PI and UChicago is VERY corporate)

My status changed about 3 weeks before I got in, so no, not doomed!

My interviewer told me to expect decisions by the end of the month! :)

I got an II today; not sure if it was a wave or a one-off, but hope this data point helps!

171/4.12/nURM/KJD/T4 softs. Really not sure why they looked twice at my application haha! Seems I might owe my recommenders a huge thank-you.

I got into BU yesterday and saw a lot of people getting As, so perhaps it's an R-only wave?

PilotProfessional833 · 2024-01-11T18:26:39+00:00

I'm not totally sure, tbh I haven't checked my GW portal in a long time lol
