I'm thinking of applying ED2 to UChicago and want to plan ahead. Does anyone know the specific release date for ED2 notifications and if this affects Regular Decision deadlines?
UChicago typically releases Early Decision II (ED2) results around mid-February. However, the exact date can vary from year to year, so I would recommend checking their admissions website or reaching out directly to their admissions office for the most accurate information.
As for Regular Decision (RD) deadlines, applying ED2 should not affect them. The deadline for RD applications is typically in early January, while you would submit your ED2 application a bit later, usually by January 15th. That said, keep in mind that ED2 is a binding commitment—if UChicago accepts you under ED2, you are expected to enroll unless the financial aid package is not sufficient for your family’s needs.
Stay organized with your dates, and make sure your materials are polished and submitted on time. Best of luck with your applications!
