Official 2021 UChicago Waitlist Discussion

We may be on the same boat because I sent mine a couple days ago to convey that I really took other schools into consideration before making my final decision to stick to UChicago

@HorsesPwn42 did your status update on the applicant portal?

Is there time for a letter of continued interest? I already opted in but does it occur tomorrow?

I suggest writing one.

@HorsesPwn42 congrats on making it in! Hopefully the southeast region (Florida), will accept some of us off of the waitlist too.

Has anybody received word today?

@crowningflowers I think no one has because of “Good Friday”

@apattie123 I received an email acknowledging a LOCI so there are definitely people working there

I also received an email acknowledging a LOCI…do you guys think anything will happen today to anyone @chessplayer101

You probably would have gotten an email by down. The AO office will close in a little over 30 mins.

Most likely you will receive an email in the morning, so that they can call later in the day before office hours are over.

Anyone get in yet?? Is there even spots left?

@Stonyfire They probably contacted some people who weren’t on CC. I’d expect there to be some spots left, as they haven’t taken many people off yet (and they started early).

Where are you guys enrolling if Chicago WL doesn’t pan out?

UC Berkeley. What about you? @Boothie007

Anyone got off yet? The waiting is killing me

It seems that there was one person that got off here earlier on this thread

@Boothie007 Cornell w/full tuition if this doesn’t work out.

Also, does anyone know if UChicago takes people off every weekday or just on specific days (e.g. wednesday, friday)?

@pineappledragon Regarding this last week, people were taken off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. They usually only take people off on Wed. or Fri.

@Boothie007 my options aren’t very good. I’m between UT Austin, University of Rochester, and RPI. Does anyone know if the admissions office is open today? Will they be calling people?
