Waitlist help

<p>Hi, I was waitlisted and I accepted a spot immediately when I found out. </p>

<p>I was wondering, how does UChicago select students off of the waitlist? I know the waitlist IS unranked. So, how would they choose which students to admit from the waitlist?</p>

<p>Also, around what date would UChicago let us know if we were accepted or not from the waitlist?</p>

<p>How many students are generally accepted from the waitlist, and how many students were waitlisted for this year?</p>

<p>Please help me out, and TYIA!</p>

<p>Most of the info can be found here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1308419-advice-waitlisted-students-4.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1308419-advice-waitlisted-students-4.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Notification for waitlistees should happen after May.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted too :open_mouth: good luck!</p>

<p>I heard an admission officer explain it from WashU once. Obviously it’s a different university, but I think it’s a universal concept. If so and so (who was accepted) ends up denying their acceptance invitation, they will look for a similar candidate from the wait-listed group.</p>

<p>I may be wrong, but this is my understanding.</p>
