UChicago Waitlist Thread

<p>Time to restart the clock... looks like we have some more waiting to do. </p>

<p>Do you know what this means? Do we even have a chance? Historically, how successful have people been on the UChicago waiting list?</p>

<p>I found an article that said 71 students were admitted off wait-lists in 2011, but there was no total number wait-listed.</p>

<p>Was wait listed also. Any idea how many get wait listed?</p>

<p>Considering how many people UChicago deferred (I was one of them), I’m thinking a TON were waitlisted. Way more than 71… Oh well haha. </p>

<p>Anyone choosing a gap year? </p>

<p>I was wait-listed also. I checked the College Board page for UChicago cause they typically supply info on how many people are offered a place of the waiting list, but UChicago didn’t report.</p>

<p>Wait listed :(</p>

<p>waitlisted…do they always waitlist so many people? feels equivalent to getting rejected!</p>

<p>I checked and one page said Uchicago waitlisted around 800 people last year in an applicant pool of 30,000 so it is not the same though it does feel that way</p>

<p>Is accepting a waitlist offer binding?</p>

<p>no of course not, does it even matter though its a waitlist</p>

<p>Can someone please explain in detail the “I wish to remain on the waitlist and would consider taking a voluntary gap year” option? I’d love a definition of a voluntary gap year.</p>

<p>Haha I like how I started a reporting for duty trend… Eating ice cream and watching the clone wars on Netflix just cause it came out and I’m lame </p>

<p>I’m pretty stoked about being put on the waitlist. I’d like to think of it as a good sign for what’s to come with other schools! :] With a 3.5 UW GPA and a 2120 , I was expecting flat-out rejection from this place with their high SAT standards xD </p>
