UChicago 2022 Waitlist Thread

@hazeee that’s completely me rn… do you want to dm and talk about it?

After all the rejections from top schools, I feel like that I stand no chance on this waitlist.

I am trying to keep myself motivated and give the school I committed to a fair chance but I am still thinking about UChicago. It’s slow painful death and it feels like the end of a dream.
Send help.

@cutecrab yep send some help this way too please. i cant stop thinking of “what it couldve been”

Cutecrab and Reindeercoffee – hang in there both of you. I’m not going to say don’t worry because I believe that you are feeling really bad about this. I will repeat the platitude that at the highly selective schools, it’s often a flip of the coin as to why Student A gets the admit and Student B gets the waitlist, or rejection, if that helps at all. I don’t know how to flip the switch to make you feel instantly better, but I’m pretty sure you both are outstanding students and that no matter where you go you will establish and outstanding record for yourselves. Best of luck to you both!

Hey guys I asked my AO if they were still accepting people for class of 2022 and she said “ We have not yet formally closed UChicago’s Class of 2022. Students may still be invited into the class, but we will absolutely inform all students of a final decision in mid-May“ which is not exactly reassuring but just wanted to let you guys know

@cutecrab @reindeercoffee I’m in the same exact position. Ugh. I have to start buying gear for my other college but I somehow keep finding myself looking at Uchicago apparel

I so don’t want to crib about this but I was really looking forward to getting in. It was the school for me and I love it! It’s just really painful. I can’t wait anymore. I just can’t get excited about my school because , well, UChicago.

@travelingflute I am so you rn. My friends in the current school are looking into sweatshirts and stuff and I am not remotely interested.
Waitlist= insomnia+hurt+rumination+ frustration

I hate to be the bearer of bad news,but the yield for this year went up. They’re not taking that many people off the waitlist. They’ve already started and are pretty much finishing up.

Did you talk to your AO?

@Legends

@Legends how do you know they already started and that they’re finishing up?

@Legends and yea i guess it’s pretty self explanatory that yield went up but i wasn’t aware numbers were out already

I’ve been saying this for awhile now. “Expect a rejection and if you get accepted congrats!”

God I am getting so impatient.

Just end it once and for all.

@UChicago

Who chose gap year?

I did
