2,200 matriculated?!! Good lord they admitted 2,400 - so that’s a 91.6% yield! What happened to the need to over-admit because everyone applied everywhere this year? Did this happen at other top schools as well?
ETA: some might be gappers from last year but I heard they didn’t have nearly the number of gappers they were expecting. Had they been expecting a bunch of incoming from last year’s ap. cycle wouldn’t have felt the need to admit 2,400 to begin with . . .
We probably got 1800-1900 matriculation from 2400 acceptances, and they probably pulled 200 off the waitlist.
Core classes and popular major classes are already oversubscribed. Not sure if the administration now views the college as a cash cow.
Are you talking about first year courses? Returning students haven’t been able to register yet and some core classes will be needed by 2nd or 3rd years! By the way, this happened my D’s year and the year after that as well. UChicago never learns . . . 
Nope. Just looking at total enrollment numbers in different classes. I’m a rising fourth year and we also had a larger class.
yes - Class of '22! I recall the housing crunch. My son will be in upper division proprietary courses so he’s going to escape the deluge of waitlists and e-mails to faculty begging for a spot. What a headache!
Class of '22 1806 enrolled.
Class of '23 1700+ enrolled.
Class of '24 1850+ enrolled.
Class of '25 2200 expected.
Numbers don’t include transfers.
At my son’s opening convocation a couple years ago, one of Dean Boyer’s assistants let it slip that they were shooting for 8,000. That was quite surprising as Dean Boyer only the prior year had said 7,000. I figured that this person was simply mistaken. Nope.
Wow. 8000? Thought they were trying to imitate Harvard.
It’s hard to comprehend the sudden increase in class size. Yale gradually increased theirs and Stanford is also slowly increasing their class size.
Not sure if the college has the resources to accommodate the sudden increase.
Wow, that’s quite a jump.
I’ve seen a fair number of gap year students in the IG Class of 25 intros.

It’ll toss you over to the quarterly reports - the Autumn Quarter Census should be available a couple weeks prior to the end of that quarter.
Hey everyone, I am taking a gap year before attending UChicago in the fall of 2022.
How do I join the group chat of admitted class of 2026 students?
I think you’ll have to wait until they create one after ED1 in December. Once they have done that you can ask to join via Facebook groups.
