I am a fellow waitlisted student for uchicago, and one of my fellow classmates just got off the waitlist today for 2023, so they are taking some students off for this year. Unfortunately for me, this probably guarantees that I will not be getting off of the waitlist… Best of luck to you all!!
Did they call you or email you? If it was an email, did they indicate that the class of 2023 was now closed?

@blackbeard What do you mean by “special situations”?
Just got off the waitlist for 2024!
Did you apply RD or ED/EA
I applied RD. I’m an upper middles class female from Oregon. I did a lot to get off the waitlist. I sent two loci spread 3 weeks apart, had my counselor call the office, sent an additional recommendation letter from a teacher, and mailed them a book of original poems dedicated to UChicago. Not sure if these things got me in but it definitely didn’t hurt.
Thanks for the info! Congratulations!
Thank you! Not sure if I’ll be going as I need to weigh out my options and look into gap year plans but I’m very thrilled!
Did you upload your LOCI to the portal or send it to your regional councilor? R u in direct contact with your regional councilor?
I uploaded both LOCI’s to my portal and emailed both to my AO too. I am in direct contact with her as we iron out the details of my gap year which I have decided to take.
Awesome! Congrats again!
My counselor called the admissions office yesterday and my counselor said they wouldn’t be certain about if they were taking off the waitlist til after May 1st. He also said they were trying to have a slightly smaller class this year, so it might be tighter with the WL.
I was accepted off of the waitlist for class of 2023 yesterday! They called me in the morning, and my portal updated later that night.
Did you apply RD? where are you located?
I applied RD. I’m from north Texas. I only sent in my LOCI just yesterday. Idk if there is any rhyme or reason to why I was admitted.
Great! Congratulations!
So they are now accepting off the waitlist for this incoming class?
It would appear so.
@ LaleAzade and @G123456718 or anyone who got off the wait list for 2024 admissions does your portal show new status? AO is saying they are working on a new gap year agreement and it should show up in the portal in few days and we need to sign the contract and upload it to the portal? Is your status similar?
