I think this is enough to get an idea!
also waitlisted and that number is like wow
Waitlisted. Here and Dartmouth. Really bummed. It’s like 1-2% chance. I don’t think it’s worth dragging out for another month just to get disappointed again. Sigh
Any idea how the music school waitlist works? Like how many kids get waitlisted for each studio?
Anyone know when waitlisted students typically hear back if they got accepted?
I was waitlisted at Northwestern and UChicago… anyone wanna chance me?? 
4.123 W, dunno my UW
ranked 6th out of 250
1480 SAT (superscore), 32 ACT
applied to McCormick for environmental engineering
I am President of my school’s environmental club (was officer for 2 years previous to that)… I was in other activities but that one is probably most important
So I got an email about reconfirming my waitlist spot this morning, but when I went onto the portal there was no form to fill out. Did this happen to anyone else?
Yes, same. I think I’ll wait for a couple of days and then email them if it still isn’t there.
Yes this happened to me too I can’t find the form
The form appeared today morning. That should be for everyone, right?
Do you still need to send a LOCI? If so, where to send it to?
Anyone got off the wait-list yet?
Not yet! But I’m holding out hope~
I’ve checked some previous threads, and it looks like it will take another couple days for the first round of waitlist positions to be offered. Granted, it changes from year to year so don’t take my word for it!
I called the admissions office recently and they told me they wouldn’t start using the waitlist until the very end of May, but looking at the waitlist thread from last year, I think it may be earlier.
I suspect it means that they are full now, but as they see some summer melt, they might contact wait-listed candidates.
I just got off the waitlist today!!!
@tmkassie what major did you apply for?
@chicagomind I’m not sure but I think it was either biology or biochemistry.
