UChicago 2022 Waitlist Thread

For those will take gap year, what your plans for the year? I am thinking about intern, volunteer, taking certificate exam

Did anyone here not get the update to their portal?

I got rejected on the day I called the regional admission officer lmao

A couple people probably won’t get the update since the college will want to keep a few on the waitlist in case people drop out before the fall

Out…

@rdomh Congrats! What day did you get the call if you mind me asking?

@rdomh

How frequently and what do you mean by creative?

@Huskymaniac

not sure if this applies in general or just in my case but in my first LOCI i included a weird short poem i wrote. my AO really liked it and mentioned it in his reply and the call when i got into 2023 that he thought it was funny. i’m 99% sure that’s what helped me stand out on the waitlist. also i sent 2 LOCIs spaced out about 3 weeks between them

as for my gap year plans i’m trying to do an internship and work in the fall and i applied for a gap semester program in europe the spring

How long does it take for gap year 2023’s portal status update?

@cookiemonster28 Was the topic Chicago or the college admissions process or something random of interest to you?

@Huskymaniac

i wrote about a ridiculously random topic

@stem2019

my portal updated the day after i got the call

I also got 2023 gap year. Anybody got in 2022 from waitlist?

I’m really late to this discussion, but I also got into the class of 2023! I didn’t know anyone else got in, and I’m really looking forward to not being alone in this when we enter next fall!

Late to the party here, I just accepted a spot on the waitlist for transfers, anyone else in the same boat? Anyone have an info about transfer waitlists?

This was the last communication from UChicago, the admissions counselor.

@hj0091 We have now closed consideration for the Class of 2023 gap year option, and at this point our admissions cycle for the year has concluded.
@maroonpen The transfer process has now concluded.
@talkingtrees Please e-mail your admissions counselor, and they will let you know if they need additional information. Please also know that it’s very rare for offers of admission to be rescinded.
