<p>waitlisted</p>
<p>bananayezi your post is so good. U of C is only one path in life and there are so many more. My son said the same thing when rejected from another college and it let me know he is going to do well in life. No one thing defines us. Good luck where ever you choose.</p>
<p>Waitlisted 
I will not accept a place on the waitlist though, as I got accepted into Yale 
Good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>rejected and legit couldn’t care less</p>
<p>S is waitlisted</p>
<p>how many people get waitlisted seriosly</p>
<p>Waitlisted - sobbing and listening to “Let It Go”</p>

<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>@TheHistoryHacker Let me in on that. </p>
<p>@dragonx9 Congratulations!</p>
<p>@Luckywinner Waitlisted & crying over Disney songs is where it’s at.</p>
<p>D waitlisted </p>
<p>Hoping to score an elite acceptance sometime in the next two weeks!</p>
<p>wait did you guys get an email that the decisions were up? I didn’t get one…</p>
<p>@dragonx9 Same. That finaid was sooo nice!</p>
<p>Accepted!!! Surprised and honored!</p>
<p>okay I just got the email. never mind.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, some of these elite colleges wait-list as many as twice the size of the new freshman class… and then the norm is to accept very few off of it. Northwestern in 2011, for example, accepted none. MIT… 21. The highest percentage I have seen is around 6% taken off a wait-list. </p>
<p>UChicago’s yield rate though is only 46%… so 54% of those accepted may decline (if past trends hold up). But they also know that already and therefore accept more initially to account for that. All in all, my D will accept the wait-list status for now… but realistically, it is a delayed rejection for well over 90% of those who were wait-listed today. We thus see it as a polite rejection… with scant hope of it being converted into an acceptance later.</p>
<p>Good luck to all. Bring on the Northwester decision… hopefully next Friday :)</p>
<p>Last year UChicago only accepted 7 from the waitlist, I believe. So I’m treating my waitlist as a rejection. Good luck to everyone else though!</p>
<p>@WWWard One correction: UChicago’s yield last year was 55%, not 46%. More than half of those accepted ultimately chose to attend :)</p>

<h1>rejected</h1>
<p>Not bummed out at all though, since I expected to get rejected from UChicago anyways (I consider myself lucky to have been deferred from the EA pool instead of being rejected earlier) and I got into UCSD and UCI earlier today,</p>
