I attended the event. It was a simple student connect with breakout rooms for different topics, such as admissions process, life in Chicago, academics, etc.
Although I don't remember signing up for the event, I did sign up for a similar event in October but couldn't get in because it was at full capacity. My hypothesis is that they auto enrolled me because I had shown interest in the previous event. In the event, there were candidates who were still thinking to apply in round 2 or 3.
So, I don't think that event was indicative of an admissions decision.
