<p>So, I've been emailing my admissions counselor, since I was waitlisted, but she doesn't say much back to me in the email.</p>
<p>It's generally two or three sentences per email; does this mean anything? She is very prompt in responding; I generally have an email response from her the very next day.</p>
<p>Does it mean that UChicago isn't really interested in admitting me off the waitlist and she is just responding to be courteous? Or is this what they all do?</p>
<p>It's really irking me, and I would like to know.</p>
<p>I think you are reading too much into this. They all must be very busy dealing with admitted students.</p>
<p>WhatsA Username, please do not worry. Most of our admissions counselors receive up to a hundred e-mails a day from admitted students, waitlisted students, and general inquires. While we hope to be able to provide a personal response to every email, in many cases where a student is not asking a specific question, we will only be able to briefly respond.</p>
<p>UChicago, to ask a similar question, will we receive acknowledgments of our wait list emails, or can we take it on faith that they’ve been received? I sent my e-mail a couple of days ago to <a href=“mailto:internationaladmissions@uchicago.edu”>internationaladmissions@uchicago.edu</a>, and haven’t received a response. Is there any way to know if the e-mail’s been received? Thanks!</p>
<p>Canhaz, while we try to respond personally to each e-mail from waitlisted students, sometimes we are not able to do so-- especially the international team, most of whom are currently on extended international recruitment travel. Please do not worry if your email has not received a personal response; we try to focus our time on thoroughly reading it and making sure it makes its way in to your file.</p>
