Uncommon ≠ ThickEnvelope

Do you see that? That's a not-equal sign.

Yesterday we took down early action decisions, and therefore the link between Uncommon and ThickEnvelope for all you lucky admitted students. We're getting ready to put up regular notification decisions, and I think that two months is probably enough to drool over your decision letter. Maybe I'm wrong. But then I got a bunch of calls yesterday saying that admitted students "didn't have access to ThickEnvelope." Not true! Did you notice that when you're logging into Uncommon and viewing your decisions, that's not ThickEnvelope? Think of that.

To log into ThickEnvelope, and from now on instead of logging into Uncommon, you should go to thickenvelope.uchicago.edu. Easy peasy. Log in with your same user name and password as you used to log into Uncommon. There is no need for you to be using the online application any more. You applied, and it seems like it went pretty well! Now you are admitted, so you should be using ThickEnvelope, the admitted student website.
