UChicago Class of 2023 Applicants

ahhh waitlisted

S was waitlisted. Ugh

Rejected. Not unhappy since I got into UNC Chapel Hill.

waitlist lol

damn UChicago waitlisted so many of us

How many does UChicago waitlist?

S was waitlisted - at least there’s still a chance!

Rejected, but I’m kinda glad I didn’t get waitlisted just to have that finality. I went from deferred EA to RD, so the chances were slim.

omg i got waitlisted which is bad since there seems to be A LOT of people on the waitlist (basing on this thread) but OMGGGG I was NOT expecting that!! I’m an international student with no APs or IB (school doesn’t offer), so I am shocked that I wasn’t rejected. YAY!

Okay, now onto more important topics. How many people does UChicago waitlist and how many get in?

Two years ago they pulled a bunch off the waitlist and z listed a bunch more. Last year they experienced an “oversubscription” and so pulling off the waitlist didn’t really happen as much (although some were z listed). This year they said they wanted a smaller class than last year. So two possibilities: 1) they waitlisted aggressively just now and will pull off selectively till they get their desired class size; or 2) they over subscribed again and so won’t be pulling anyone off the waitlist. They may continue to z-list, however.

WHOAA I got in that’s crazy!!

S was denied. He was deferred from EA and had already accepted UVA since then. UVA was his top choice so it’s all good. Good luck to everyone through the rest of the process!

@spacecadet95 CONGRATS!!!

@carey46 thanks congrats to you as well!!

S was denied, but he’s fine with it. Congrats to all who got accepted!

@JBStillFlying What is a “z list”??? Thx!

z list is deferred to next year’s class.

Looks like z list is better than waitlist given you’re actually offered a solid spot?

Z list comes off the wait list I think . . …

Update - but yes, it’s a solid spot.
