Has anyone gotten off the waitlist yet?

The likelihood of getting off the wait-list before enrollment is analyzed post-5/1 is zero.
I’m the interim, send a LOCI, and commit to a school that accepted you.
Saw on Reddit, someone already got accepted from waitlist
I’ve heard chatter that UChicago and U of Michigan (in-state only) have already dipped into the waitlist.
But who knows if that is true.
This year looks like no many people talk about u Chicago waitlist (compared to previous year)
hi! where did u see that post on reddit? i haven’t seen anything on “applying to college”, so i’m just curious to know how information is circulating. thank you!
if you look in the uchicago rd megathread there was someone who was accepted off the waitlist.
Is this from that one Reddit post about UChicago WL? Last year UChicago started contacting people around mid-April but has been very quiet this year.
No, not from CC or reddit.

I’m guessing that person was from Ukraine. Not to be that guy but its completely impossible for them to change their mind like that unless there were some serious changes in their application
Any update on wait list
A classmate of my son’s (private day school in Westchester, NY) just got offered admission off the waitlist today.

Thank you
Has anyone heard anything else?
How many people are on the waitlist… do you guys think there’s lots of people because it seems quite silent this year
I don’t think they’ve started taking people off for real yet, they might be waiting until may 1st

That’s sort of unusual though because I thought uchicago normally takes students off the waitlist mid to late April and then closes the waitlist early May. It could be different this year though as we are not seeing much movement right now.
In 2020, they didn’t close the WL until late August.
It is fairly common for UChicago to offer slots for the next year around this time.
Understood! Thank you for providing that info. One thing to consider is that 2020 was an abnormal year for every college, with lots of movement on the waitlist and a decrease in yield due to COVID. Last year, UChicago closed their waitlist on May 7th. We shall see what happens this year! It could end soon or in three months. In any case, I hope for the best!
