Hi @ssy0305,

Thanks for your question. The best way to double-check whether this is real or not is to look it up on UChicago's website. That's what I did.

https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/visit/fall-open-houses

There are 2 dates for the Fall Open House Tour which are October 7th, and October 10th.

If those dates coincide with your invite, then you can RSVP or you can re-register for them online.

We received the same email today and believe it is legitimately from U of Chicago.

You can always go to their website and register for the open house directly:

If I were to guess, it’s real. No one has anything to gain by inviting you to a fake open house. To be safe, go to University of Chicago’s official website and sign up for the open house there.

I have also received multiple emails like this. Mine have all been legit, but you have to do your research on the website to double check the authenticity because sadly many scams impersonate colleges.
