UChicago Waitlist Thread

<p>Sure that definitely helps! Thank you @kaarboer‌ </p>

<p>@WinnieZ I emailed regional officer for Asia who replied that Asia had a pretty high yield rate this year and that if they were going to admit any more students they would not likely choose students from Asia:( </p>

<p>@Jenny19960318 so disappointed to hear that…but thanks for sharing this news</p>

<p>I just got an email back after having updated some information; they’re still considering waitlistees, but this week is probably the last week.</p>

<p>Any recent news guys? </p>

<p>Nothing yet</p>

<p>UChicago, this is making me really sad. :’(</p>

<p>My best friend sent an email to the admissions office and the regional officer said he should be expecting a reply, early next week. :/</p>

<p>I don’t know if that means he, personally, will be getting off the waitlist, or if the waitlist will be closed. I really hope they take in more students. So many of my friends have been waitlisted. Good luck to all of you.</p>

<p>@asheik thanks for sharing that :(( Really hope it’s not closing on wait list</p>

<p>Had anyone from northern CA received any info?</p>

<p>Hi! I’m from NorCal and haven’t heard anything yet. Hoping to hear back soon, crossing my fingers that it’s good news too. Good luck to you all! </p>

<p>For those interested, I found a geographic distribution chart that says 14% of applicants come from the Western part of the US (Cali, Washington, etc.) Whereas other areas of the US, such as New Engl and the Southwest are lacking in applicants (they’re around 8% each.)</p>

<p>Not to let anybody down, but if they were looking at geography, they would most likely choose people from the Southwest or New England, I think that’s why I got taken off, I live in TX btw.</p>

<p>Here’s the chart

<p>It’s the 8th now. Traditionally the results will be sent today. I assume they would not consider taking more international students this year. Sad sad.</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>… and I have no hope</p>

<p>When the results will be sent?</p>

<p>Just to tell you all, my counselor just spoke to UChicago–the 2018 waitlist has been effectively closed, though some people will be kept to account for summer melt. That being said, if you want to get in and are willing to take a gap year, they are considering people still for 2019, the class I will be joining. Sorry to say this to you guys, but it looks like it’s over.</p>

<p>aw</p>

<p>Wouldn’t we be notified if the waitlist was closed?</p>

<p>I’m hopeful about the class of 2019. And @asheik that map is a reflection of the class of 2017, that means nothing. It’s all based on the class this year. </p>
