Hey everyone, I was waitlisted! Who else is with me?
Same!
How many do they offer the wait list to and how many usually get accepted? Or what was it last year
I heard that 100-200 people are on the wait list every year, so a relatively low number of people. Not sure how many people get off the wait list.
I hope they release statistics. I really want to know if I have a chance. is that wait list going to increase this year?
Me too! I was looking through some older years and it wasn’t really clear- some said that either most people or no one gets off the wait list .
Waitlisted. I heard that their acceptance rate varies on if they over- or under-admit for the class this year
Acceptance limbo sucks
Are there stats for the class of 2018 waitlist
I was waitlisted as well. It’s not a great feeling, but better than being flat-out rejected. Also, from what others were saying previous years our chances look pretty good.
@pedestrian1123
Not any official stats, but last year there were about 2,000 on the waitlist and they used it to fill up their under-admitted class. for 2017, they waitlisted 200 and accepted none

Look at the “applying” tab
Son wait listed EECS
OOS Illinois
Where is everyone from and what program did you apply to?
Bummed. Plan was, if accepted, to travel there next month and decide if it was with extra $ over Illinois. If rejected, decision is made for him.
Now… limbo. If taken off wait list will have to decide blind.
wondering how many students they put on waitlist this year…
I was also placed on the wait list. Does anyone know how they pick out those who are accepted in the wait list? :-?
Waitlisted too! I’m gonna bet on them keeping the same policy as last year. As bad as it is for us, taking a larger chunk and biting out of that is much more beneficial to the school itself… Fingers crossed!
Are they going to compare the other people on the wait list because my stats and extra curriculars will pale in comparison to other people. I don’t know how I got this far and I feel very lucky but ugh, they should just reject me already so I can get on with life. l0l.
