106

Congrats!!

107

Just curious, do you all find the expectations from colleges to be unreasonable as well, or is it just me?

Looking at Reddit, it looks like majority were waitlisted meaning zero chance of getting in I guess. UChicago does not publish CDS either so no historical data to look at.

109

anybody know % of applicants who get waitlisted and chance of getting off waitlist?

110

My son too - and same here. We are pleasantly surprised.

I have been unable to find the full CDS for UChicago online. That would tell us.

If anyone knows where to find the full CDS from any recent years, could you please post?

115

They don’t publish a CDS.

My daughter was waitlisted. A lot better than a no, especially because it isn’t necessarily her top choice, but it was one of her biggest reaches that we still thought was realistic

It is also that people who get rejected tend not to post about it.

As you read through the outcomes, it is clear that many of the “Top” kids are overlooked. That tells me the school is looking for something not necessarily measured by a grade or a test score. My son (class of 2025) was maybe #10-15 in his class in terms of grades. He had a mix of 3s, 4s, on his APs, but did score a 34 on ACT(tutored). He was a great student, but not award-winning. What he did have was depth in terms of hobbies. volunteer work and club involvement. His essays were great - but also honest and humble. He did submit a short video, which just showed that he was a likable, normal teenager. We were floored when he got in ED, but he comes from an affluent community (aka Full-Pay) that UChicago hasn’t penetrated yet. I think that was his in. Nothing about it is fair.
