Official 2021 UChicago Waitlist Discussion

@PintoBean
Did you ask for a gap year?

@Meganerd2012 I said in the waitlist offer that I was interested in the gap year option, but I haven’t had the call with my counselor yet.

@PintoBean The AO is currently going through accepting gap years. Looks like you’re probably joining the Class of 2022. Congrats!

Is the class of 2021 full?

@skyflower17 According to a couple of people who spoke with their counselors once they were admitted for a gap year, yes, the Class of 2021 is full. Typically once UChicago starts in on applicants who wished to take a gap year, they are no longer focusing on the incoming class because it’s all set.

@PintoBean Congrats on being accepted to the University of Chicago!

Nice! Hope it goes well mate! :slight_smile:

I have an email screenshot saying that the class of 2021 isn’t closed yet, everyone take a breath. Not sure if I can post it here somehow.

@Bakasworld @currylord thanks y’all, I hope it goes well… I have my AP Lit test tmw and I’m having a hard time focusing because that phone call is on my mind eek… @izboudnik o man

@PintoBean Fuck the test. You are UChicago bound. Go gorge on sweets and soda lmao

@izboudnik I hope you are not giving us false hope lol. Even if spots are open, they will probably only accept one or two more people.

@izboudnik use imgur.com or ■■■■■■■■■■■■

@izboudnik yeah I agree with @Bakasworld this better be legit.

Since UChicago’s so relutant to give out any information to the public, I doubt they’ll put something in writing.

Anyone heard any news? When will they be sending rejections?

Hope they let the waitlisted kids know the decisions soon…

@PintoBean
Did you speak to your AO yet?

I was on campus last weekend with some senior administrators and can say with a lot of confidence that the 2021 class is very full. Anything is possible with summer melt etc… but getting off the waitlist for this year looks very unlikely.

@notveryzen care to elaborate? :frowning:

@notveryzen How many are they thinking will matriculate. There has been all kinds of speculation on the 2021 class size.
