ED II Waitlisted students

Can someone explain exactly what “Waitlisted” means for the ED II applicants?? If they reply to remain on the waitlist, are they now in the pool of general applicants and have the ability to say yes or no if they are called off the wait list or are they locked in to U Chicago if they are called off the list?

Yes, they can say yes or no when called off the waitlist, UChicago won’t call off the waitlist until late April or early May when they are fine tuning the 2021 class.
