Official 2021 UChicago Waitlist Discussion

Comment with your waitlist decision: accepted 2021/2022 or denied

wait, did they already start? I heard this week, but I haven’t heard any results yet.

I haven’t heard of anything either but I wanted it to be known when decisions do come out

Are you sure that the waitlist acceptances start this week?

I hope the yield rate isn’t that high

We have to hope for the best. How many people are on the waitlist?

My councler who knows UChicago well says that UChicago usually plans to take people form the waitlist every year

Apparently, last year’s class starting getting their decisions around this time. Haven’t heard anything myself but this is driving me crazzzy

They seemed to have started a week earlier last year

wait so does that mean they started? ^^ @Sonamkachee

Don’t know. I was wondering the same but no one has been posting. When I looked at last year they started around the 5th of April

If they do contact you before may 1st I’d assume it’s only to let you know that you’re accepted. I don’t think they’d reject someone early.

that makes sense

my officer just asked me to talk to him sometime today by phone

may you please share more details? @HorsesPwn42

Usually they email first then call, so I’m not sure if that is true.

@hopefullymaroon

he asked me by email, btu I think it is more about some of my personal info clarity not about their decision on me

I dont want to get into too much detail about my personal info

@HorsesPwn42

That’s fine. Hopefully though it’s about being admitted and not just about your personal info! Good luck! :slight_smile:

@Meganerd2012 What will the email look like and when will the waitlist acceptances start
