<p>Okay so if I got wait listed at the University of Chicago, what are my chances of getting into the following schools?</p>
<p>Cornell
Columbia
Duke
Yale</p>
<p>Any help is appreciated!</p>
<p>They are all still reaches, but it is comforting that at least you were not rejected at Chicago. All schools look for different things</p>
<p>Thanks collegebound! That definitely helps.</p>
<p>Anybody else?</p>
<p>The University of Chicago’s acceptance percentage was 8.8% (as you probably know, since it’s all over the forums); Cornell’s is almost twice that (16.2%) and Duke’s is also higher at 11%. Those are numbers from last year, but since neither place has had a notable surge in apps (unlike Chicago), I would be surprised if either had a rate lower than 9% this year. Your chances are still good at these schools, not sure about the others (with lower percentages), but I agree with collegebound - another school might not care as much about one of your weaknesses as Chicago ultimately did, or they might weigh one of your strengths more heavily in your favor.</p>
<p>Thank you for your response! You’ve definitely helped curb my anxiety haha</p>
