Waitlisted!!

<p>I'm waitlisted at Rice, Carnegie Mellon, and Washu. Any chance of getting into UChicago? Will I be waitlisted as well? I'm thinking there is something wrong with my application because I've been waitlisted to pretty much everywhere.</p>

<p>^Worriedhssenior, </p>

<p>When I saw the title of your thread, my heart jumped a few beats, because I almost thought that Chicago released decisions. </p>

<p>Anyways, I'm sorry about the waitlists. At least you still have a chance at those schools. :) </p>

<p>As for Chicago, just because you got waitlisted at those schools doesn't necessarily mean you'll get waitlisted (or worse) at Chicago, because the ADCOM at Chicago may view you differently than those at Rice, CMU, and WUSTL. It just depends on the impression you make on Chicago, and how Chicago thinks you'll fit at their school.</p>

<p>I think you're looking at it wrong. If there was something wrong with your application, they would have rejected you, not waitlisted you. the fact that you've been waitlisted from three great schools should tell you that you'll be in the mix for an acceptance at Chicago. it's tough, though, and i'm sorry about your three waitlists. that has to be really frustrating.</p>

<pre><code>I am waitlisted by WUSL, TULANE and I was worrying about other universities,
</code></pre>

<p>then, RICE accepted me, CMU accpeted me, and I am looking forward
to hearing from other or better colleges</p>

<p>Be patience, and wait..</p>

<p>GOD bless us and we deserve to be accepted by great colleges as a result of
so much hard work we have done .</p>

<p>Thank you so much you guys for the replies. Very comforting. Sorry for misleading you guys with the title of the thread. And I wish you guys the best of luck!</p>

<p>Dude, I was waitlisted at Rice but I got into UChicago EA. </p>

<p>^ Further proof that things could still look good for you :)</p>

<p>So I'm guessing I'm still somewhat competitive if I get waitlisted?</p>

<p>Waitlisted at both WUSTL and Rice; But I have been quite fortunate thus far (possible trustee at USC and Regents at UCLA)... In the end I believe its all luck; we are ALL qualified, but its a flip of the coin as to whether we get in or not.</p>

<p>Best of luck; and waitlist hurts!</p>

<h2>So I'm guessing I'm still somewhat competitive if I get waitlisted?</h2>

<p>Most definitely. Since those on the waitlist sometimes end up attending the college in question, they must be of high enough caliber to do so. Colleges aren't going to put kids that they don't think can do the work in the admit or waitlist piles.</p>

<p>Sorry about your waitlists and best of luck with UChi!</p>

<p>Just got waitlisted at UChi lol. Go check and tell us how you did!</p>

<p>I just got home a few minutes ago and found that the UChicago decisions were out. Alright so the thoughts running through my head...I thought I would either be place on their waiting list or worse rejected...with the slight possibility of being accepted since thus far I have only had bad luck. So I checked my decision and guess what?</p>

<p>I was waitlisted AGAIN. So now I am waitlisted at four places. Anyone else in my same position? Any comforting words would be nice. Also congrats to all those who were accepted and also those who were waitlisted. You guys deserve it.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted too:( But we have to keep in my mind we were waitlisted at one of the best universities in the world. So we still rock!! :)</p>
