The Dog Ate My Application (and other notes)
On the web
1. Thought you would enjoy a recent story that the online version of the Alumni Magazine posted a few days ago regarding the Regular Notification deadline - The Dog Ate My Application.
2. We've also started a Chicago Uncommon Application Blog for applicants to Chicago, which has received a fair amount of attention and kudos from our applicants and their parents.
Around the ASC
Karen Hyman has joined us as the ASC Chair for southern Illinois. This is our first venture in some years at creating a viable ASC effort in the southern part of the state. We are pleased to have Karen join us from Maryland where she was President of the Chicago Alumni Club in the area; a former part-time interviewer at the College while a graduate student, we are pleased to have Karen join our efforts.

"February 16, 2006 is the priority deadline for first-year interview write-ups to be submitted online."
What is a priority deadline? Is there a final deadline that is different (later?)?
Thanks for all of these very positive changes!

What Rich said.
Also, how does this relate to the deadline stated in the Interview Request Email:
"First-Year Regular Notification Interview reports are due no later
> than April 15th."
That seems kind of late, perhaps even later than decisions are mailed...so we're shooting to be done earlier than that, but...is that a real deadline?
Thanks,

Rich and Christine (et al):
regarding February 16th - This would be an ideal time to have all - or closing in on all of the interviews completed and reports submitted. A final deadline for receipt of reports would be March 1st; this would allow this reports to catch-up to an applicant's file and then be reviewed in the final days of our decision making. We expect to mail our freshmen Regular Decisions on March 22nd.
regarding April 15 - that was simply an error, and should have been the stated date for Transfer students only; sorry for the confusion.
Jerry
Thanks! I'll get the word out to my gang.
Thanks..seems we're all working a bit late.
