<p>Did your major change on your application? If not, you’re still waitlisted for your major choice.</p>
<p>No, mine didn’t change. I am so sad and confused.</p>
<p>So am I, my friend. So am I.</p>
<p>My major was the same, which got me so excited the day before. Now I have to go ahead and accept another college with a deposit, and if they accept me I have to withdraw that and possibly lose money.</p>
<p>Same. I’m trying to stay hopeful, but based on the stats provided from the waitlisted FAQ page, I’m not really feeling good. I had read on blog posts in the past that all who accepted the waitlist offer eventually made it in. I’ve been trying to find more info, but it’s all so confusing. So sad.</p>
<p>You have until May 1st. You may or may not hear before then, depending on who commits and who does not. </p>
<p>Also, anyone else who has been waitlisted, please post your major and credentials! Thanks (:</p>
<p>Anyone know how to accept the waitlist? I might as well</p>
<p>Go to the waitlist FAQ and click that link that says ‘accept your offer’.</p>
<p>Just accepted mine! Good luck to you both.</p>
<p>Please dont be angry. I was waitlisted as well. 2.9 GPA and 24 Act. Taking 3 college level courses and 2 APs.
My friend got in last year with an 18 ACT and below 3.0 GPA. (Only 1 AP) and my other friend got in this year with a 2.7 gpa and 23 ACT. We are all URM (black) students. The fact that people with lower stats than me got in is frustrating but Im not angry. This is why: Honestly don’t this get you down. Go to your second choice school and maybe you can transfer to an even better school. We will all get to where we need to be eventually. Sometimes it won’t be in the way that we hoped. Besides, it only matters where you graduate not where you were accepted Freshmen year. Just do your best. :)</p>
<p>Thank you avocado, good luck to you guys as well! (:</p>
<p>It’s hard not to be angry. I worked HARD to get what I have credential wise, and I want to go to U of I so bad. Words cannot even explain how badly I want to go there.</p>
<p>I completely agree with you, antsypants. I haven’t been able to stop crying since 4. It is really upsetting to hear about kids who got in with lower grades and ACT scores. I’ve never really wanted anything so bad and I don’t really know what I’m going to do. I don’t want to give up hope, though.</p>
<p>SAME! It’s SO infuriating! I feel the SAME way about EVERYTHING you just said. LITERALLY.</p>
