I got my decisions from all of my colleges, and was rejected from all of the most selective ones but Uchicago. I really want to go to Uchicago now.
A brief and well written letter of continued interest emailed to your regional admissions office. Indicating it’s your first choice and you will attend if accepted.
Also any significant updates.
Waitlist movement today - a local student was accepted off the waitlist
@Mwfan1921 do you have any more info on the student that got off the waitlist?
Like an above commentator said, sending a letter of continued interest as well as any positive updates in your grades or notable accomplishments cannot hurt your chances (but obviously cannot guarantee your admission).
You can continue to express interest and notify them of any new accomplishments. But bottom line, UChicago usually has a massive waitlist and only a few students get off. I’d focus on the schools you got into.
@Mwfan1921 could you elaborate about that waitlist student ?
@Muqsith @dizzyquest Not going to share more details right now, perhaps in the future if/when more waitlist activity happens
So looks like more activity is happening. Did your friend have a hook? Male? Female? Local meaning Chicagoland?
