Admissions

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 you have a choice of delivery method you should choose electronic delivery. If needed you may direct your portfolio service to address electronic delivery of your materials to humanitiesadmissions@uchicago.edu.

If electronic delivery is not an option your school should mail the letters to us at:

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.

Will you accept my application if my GRE scores arrive after the deadline?

Self-reporting your scores in your application allows us to better review your application while we await the arrival of your official scores from ETS.

We urge you to take the GRE no later than November to avoid these issues.
