Admissions

What should I do if my official transcripts have not arrived?

Scanned copies of official transcripts or unofficial electronic transcripts are acceptable for the admissions process and should be uploaded through the online application. You do not need to submit official e-transcripts. If you did not upload copies of your transcripts and have already submitted your application, please contact ahd-admissions@uchicago.edu for assistance.

Official transcripts will only be required of admitted applicants who accept an offer of admission before they register for courses in the Autumn Quarter.

Do you accept letters of recommendation through Interfolio or my university’s distribution system?

Yes. We accept letters of recommendation submitted by your professors through these services as long as the letters are kept confidential. If Interfolio provides you with an email address for each recommender, you should enter that email instead of your recommender's email when you create a recommendation request. You may also direct Interfolio or other portfolio services to address electronic delivery of your materials to ahd-admissions@uchicago.edu.

How can I see if my recommenders have sent their letters?

Once you have submitted your application, you can view the status of your recommendation letters on your application status page.

Will you accept my application if my recommenders miss the deadline?

Recommenders may continue to submit letters after the deadline and they will be added to your file. With letters submitted more than one week after the deadline, we cannot guarantee the selection committee will include them in their review. Please ask your recommenders to submit their letters within one week of your submission deadline.
