i’m so happy
You got waitlisted?

NO
uchi is 80k a year anyways we all dodged a bullet
we need someone here to get in we need a success story
uchicago ddosed everyone in the uchicago channel
Aw man
and rejected anyone who wasted time on discord. such a scummy move by uchicago
thats wild 
Time to update my spreadsheet and watch Netflix
i’m honestly so happy
85 k really
U win some u lose some
when will i win
did anyone get in
My essays were ass this was expected I’m not upset
no
this server might be biased towards WL though cause a lot of us are definitely top 15%
nobody

feel free to keep updating this 👍
sending love to all who didnt get a decision they wanted today <3
time to delete the uchicago from my nickname lmao
the thing is tho if nobody got accepted there could potentially be spots on the waitlist accepted 😍
14 people got waitlisted?
good luck to everyone who got waitlisted
WHAT WHY SO MANY
good luck to waitlists
they waitlist a lot
waitlisted🙁🙁
Sorry to everyone, admissions brutal
i completely forgot i applied here but got waitlisted 😵💫
chicago also has rly high yield
do they take anybody from waitlist
love y'all i hope i also get accepted to somewhere around the us
omg hi thomas
my guess is not many ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Any intl student applying for aid who got waitlisted?
if you got deffered, you were supposed to write a LOCI right?
HEYA
I got in
proof
YAY CONGRATS!
AYO CONGRATSSSSS
W
CAN WE PLS SEE HOW AN ACCEPTION LOOKS LIKE
show us the happy bubbles 😭
confusion??
it wasn't wrong LMFAO

@crimson turtle did you get in :p
YOOOOO
Man, Mine were really good
CONGRATS U MUST BE CRACKED ASL
this is so real
It was a troll
I didn’t even apply lmao
Damn I’m sorry I’m sure ur gonna get into another great school tho and u seem like a good applicant
I hope so Lmao
Waitlisted UChicago
Gets me wondering, if i did the video maybe I would have gotten in
what does a waitlist v rejection look like
Real
What’s the move on waitlist
Did anyone get in lol
anyone know what percentage they waitlist
One so far per the server
I'm going to chicago the day after tomorrow for a campus tour
Sliding right to the admissions office fr
a good amount i'm pretty sure
Hopefully write a good LOCI, demonstarte some interest
good loci and interest could def help
That’s insane lol
Does anyone know what percent of waitlist gets in?
smth on google said like 15% but idk where their source is
waitlist
Well that can’t be that bad ig
was the lack of withdrawal thing a red herring or
no it was legit LMAO
YOUR ESSAY WAS FIRE
lot a waitlists here
IM PROUD
so no withdrawal = either acceptance or rejection?
You’re probably going to get timed out lol
AND YOU WERE RD
thank you 🙂
anybody flat out rejected
Shawty it’s out
waiting till i get home to open it with my fam 🥲
tbh waitlisting so many people seems a little scummy
Guys did we all get waitlisted?
So that was probs bs
Did we all just get waitlisted?
did everyone get wailisted?
Isn’t MIT even worse with waitlisting people.
i guess so
i got rejected
i’m scared to open it lolz
reminder of this for anyone who'd like!
Waitlisted 😥
smae
Same
it seems like the vast majority of people were waitlisted
what does it look like
Even after 4:30?
NOAH ITS THEO
here at least*
#💪-chad-rejects message
but i can't tell if it's accurate considering this is a bias of top students so true
14?
UChicago decisions came out at 4pm CST (5pm EST, 2pm PST, 10pm GMT) on Friday, March 10th.
I was so surprised to get that email
2 pm pst
that decisions were out
YO WAIT WHICH THEO
@crimson turtle did u get in or were u capping
I said I was trolling
I didn’t apply at all
y'all fell for it again lmao
Theo tobel 😂
me
waitlisted
Waitlisted, accepted my spot so quick
same lol
😭sadgeeee
does the spots run out ?
idgaf about chicago but this is so corny 💀
don’t think so
or you can accept it at any time
how the hell did so many people get waitlisted
Did they come out at 5 EST or just now?
The students here are like Tryhards so the sample a bit biased from the population
5
There's basically no point in uchig Rd with their 1% acceptance rate
Either Ed or bust
^^ its y i withdrew even tho they gv me a fee waiver
Omg awesome! How's it going dude?
did no one get accepted
There's a Theo t at my school lol
Fellow waitlisted peeps, should we switch to ED 3?
Do you think they’ll accept us then?
nah bro wait for ivy day
One of my friends just got in RD
i deadass just dont know why i got my hopes up 😭 should have gone ed
i’m international tho so i had no expectations to begin w
right and the essays r so much effort i can’t understand why ppl rd
what is that header tho 😭
Me
if i did uchicago ed id have applied but rd isn’t worth it because there’s 3 rounds prior to it lmao
is it a red flag abt ur app to get rejected instead of waitlisted if so many get waitlisted 😭
you’re fighting for scraps
i’m not that bothered it’s chill
no
no cause a lot get both waitlisted and rejected
:((((((
fuck umich for doing that
Nah we’re just a server of sweats
& fuck uchi for not accepting you
bro they aint going to accept me either 😭 like i dont think theyre gonna take more from my school
it’s not indicative of future decisions if that’s what ur getting at. college admissions r so random and a lottery so don’t sweat it
uchicago a bunch of bums
unich the true villain actually .... getting your hopes up for WHAT
no the issue is
Why tf is there slow mode
90% of my class sending an app there
this is still making me smile thanks 🙂
TURN IT OFF THRN OFF SLOW MODE
so like, how many can they accept?
bc decisions came out a while ago & ppl are still checking
they should at least make it 5 instead of 10 secs
bro why'd my entire friend group get waitlisted 💀
i believe in you you'll be one of the acceptances
Where are all my uchi babes
thanks natalie but i rly dont 😭
omg lucy i haven't seen you in forever
No one in my school has been accepted from 2010💀
only one person in this server got in 💀 as far as we know
Natalie is gonna go to UPenn
literally pray for me
Hi, Nat! How are college apps going
We don’t even know if that person was capping tho tbh
waiting on rd to come back and praying it goes well
road to upenn please 🙏
To where?
that person was me. i didn’t get in i got waitlisted my friend got accepted
congrats to your friend!!
and i’m not capping i can show the letter he sent it to me
i didnt even get an email 😭 i’ll go check i guess
none of my rd came back yet but my top choices are barnard upenn & dartmouth
nah there was someone else
thanks man he got in for RD math there. this kid is considering UCSC over it
asides from ur friend
I’m at school so I’m too scared to open rn I’ll wait until I get home😪
I’m not talking ab ppls friends I’m talking ab someone actually in this thread saying they got in
This person
✨ of course, my gut never lies
bro gave no prrof
How much do they accept off the waitlist
open rn fam
Yeah that’s why we dk if they’re capping
uchicago waitlist c’of 2027
Most likely capping lol
do u know where to check this on naviance? i only see scattergrams lol
So far 26 waitlists, 15 rejections, no acceptances (for a2c responders)
guess they filled up in eds 💀
pretty good hbu
average UC Hicago RD
it’s why they are worst UC campus by far dude
waitlist chances r low right
Rejected YAYYY
if like 75% got waitlist 😭
not upset ngl
w no loci
oh fun i got rejected
pretty good! Abt to go on spring break
moral of the story dont apply RD
literally
anybody here do questbridge rd?
I know one person that got in but that’s it 😭
Yikers
1 guy got in
no
umich rd isnt that hard
i think if u wrote a good loci and sent it early you have a good shot
meeeee, and I got rejected:')
I got waitlisted. Is there any chance or?
It’s not looking too good. The majority of rd applicants got waitlisted
I think there is some
Ive heard its like 5-10% from WL in the past (?)
that seems really high tbh
Does anyone know how many applicants they accept off the waitlist?
yeah but with a lower sat submission and not the most urgent loci, it aint happening
if u wanted umich why didnt u submit loci sooner then
was busy, forgot about it for some time & struggled drafting it
at this point im accepting going to my least favorite safety
What percent did they waitlist
Discord server 63%
I don't think we have that data atm
they wont release
there should be, like, mandatory reporting for this kind of stuff
theyre obscure with their numbers
wooo add me to that rejection pile
If a college wants non-profit tax status and such the govt. should make them report admission rates and such
they will never release that information because it's not beneficial to applicant numbers
2021-2022 CDS it's left blank
they want people to think RD is a fair game lol
grrrr
Anyone else indicate they wanted consideration for c/o 2028 on the waitlist spot acceptance form?
Welcome to the fam! Can’t wait to meet you
No
://
Its likely higher odds of getting into that than waitlist acceptance
I said yes to both
I mean
Putting yes to both doesnt affect ur co27 odds
But in general the co28 is more likely to happen than a co27
Since they dont need to report co28 acceptances in their acceptance rate
i was napping but i woke up and i am rejected 🕺💃🕺💃
sending love ur way <3 their loss tbh
tbh it brings me comfort to know i only didn’t withdraw my application because my philosophy is that if i wasted my time writing those essays, i wanna waste the AO’s time reading them again
and by god did i waste five minutes of that man’s time god bless
You have to see it through, no point of withdrawing if you put the effort in
CONGRATS!!!!
CONGRATSSS
the first and only uchic rd w
I got waitlisted
congrats dude
CONGRATS!!!!
waitlisted! im so happy bc i thought i was going to be straight rejected
congrats to everyone who was accepted im so happy for you
Hinestly i was so confused reading the waitlisted msg
Cuz i didnt wanna read from the start
So i wouldnt have to see like
We regret to inform i
U
So all i was seeing was like
We had a record number of applicants
And couldnt take u
Then i read the start and there was no regret
And then i wasrlly fucking confused
lmao
whats the purpose of submitting it sooner? it's not due until March 17.
whats the purpose of submitting loci sooner? it's not due until March 17.
realistically speaking if u did the deadline theyd have maybe week to review it
and its a loci how much interest u got if u waiting that long
They make decisions well before march 17 and it shows interest. If you get your file reviewed with no loci you could just get rejected due to the lack of effort shown
oh ig im getting tejected from there
with the amount they deferred (rumored) bc of not being able to finish id imagine a late loci may fuck u over
cuz its us + rd kids
not really, if you submit way early like in february, it'd be a general loci. but if you're submitting it in mid-march (when half the college results are already out), that shows you are seriously interested in umich.
many of umich deferrals are to protect their yield rate, and chances of protecting their yield rate goes high if you submit loci as late as possible
r u talking bout an update letter or the reequired for consideration
im interested in how u came to this conclusion
loci: letter of continued interest
it says online everywhere that michigan defers bulk of california applicants to protect their yield rate, because they know californian's will likely pick UCs above umich
why would umich yield protect 💀
here's the logic: if you submit loci in early february, you are not helping them with their yield rate protection. however when you submit loci in late march when many of UCs are already out, you are conveying to umich that you still want to come to umich, hence helping them with their yield rate
I'm not even gonna mf lie to you all
I didn't even know it was possible to be EA deferred and waitlisted☠
Got me waiting the whole app cycle for a firm decision
u were just that good
Should've accepted me atp, now I'm wondering why I took the time out my precious summer to attend their little summer scholarship program and get a 100 in their class
Welp, might have my first firm reject tomorrow with caltech☠ it was a nice run
lol actually?
i did not indeed get in
how does waitlist work? do you write a loci? i have additional info to provide but idk if they want a loci or anything bc they did say if we had additional info to provide we should put it in our portal
ive yet to write a loci (i need to stop procrastinating umich...)
what does this mean?
so if you want to withdraw from waitlist you wont be considered for co2028 gap year
Ok, so released just means that you quit from waitlist
yep i think so
Does anyone know around what percent of applicants got waitlisted and how many get off the waitlist
Both are unknown
Not even gonna try guesstimate because A2C is very competitive in general, might not apply to the rest of the pool
chicago doesn't publish those stats
11% is what i saw online
how many got in percentage wise
0.000001
The waitlist is almost by definition variable year to year, but from speculation online the regular decision acceptance rate is ~6.5%, approximately 15% get waitlisted, and approximately ~4-10% of the waitlist get off the waitlist and are offered a spot.
I thought overall is 6.5% from online
Which is outdated now, the 11% was from 19-20
For the last admissions cycle, the acceptance rate was 5.4%
https://collegeadmissions.uchicago.edu/apply/class-2026-profile
It should be immeadetely above the scattergrams
thanks
np! surprised you missed it ( your school naviance could be acting weird)
overall its gonna be <4% this year, dean nondorf said at an admitted students event (apparently)
like 1 person 😭
good luck dnx 🫡
My friend got in
She don't even wanna go fr☠
No bueno
This year’s applicant pool was one of the strongest in the University’s history.
should've done better in HS smh lmao
im ...
Not a good way to start my morning, but whatever
at least i got notified that UBuffalo finaid is on its way!
Fr, she don't even know what she did fr, that spot could've been me😭😭
They accept at least 1 a year from our school
im sorry dnx :(((
hoping you get a fat package
amen
Chicago is too far anyways 😆
it's cold af anyways you dodged a major bullet
Colder than NYC?
uhhh it's like consistent 20s-40s farenheit for 5 months straight, at night you can go all the way down to single digits, and in dec/jan it'll be single digits & negative degrees w the wind chill
chicago aint the windy city for no reason
Omg i even forgot to say:
it's really annoying that the link in the email directly links to the decision cause i couldn't even get to pray before opening it smh
Welp, time to leave this thread ig
What were her stats and stuff
all ik is that she's ranked #1 and has a gpa of like 3.9UW/4.85W, she also went TO
i'm #3 with 3.95UW/4.77W
What's atp meaning
at this/that point
i didnt expect it to be that bad 😭
I expected about as much but 🤷♂️ was hoping for these guys
I mean RD is just a bloodbath
To all accepted with Q's, dms are open. Current Soph that is fairly well versed in everything related to the uni
I got waitlisted 
yes just write LOCI if you want
if youre really passionate
ayyy gang
u got rejected with those oly medals right
same here brother ❤️
they just yield protected us 😎 || /s ||
Do they admit international student in RD round?
yea an indian ik got a likely + fin aid in RD
Hmm
Sure but
dont feel too bad, UChicago RD for intls is like giga rng shitfestival
who?
also, they waitlisted intls who applied without aid
for profit
a guy on intltousa
I’m so sorry to hear that
Uchicago missing out frfr
is there anything we can do to get accepted from the waitlist???
does any1 know acceptance rate of getting in from wait list
My guess would be that less than a dozen people make it off each year - it's equated to a rejection for all I know.
queen me too
Doubtful they definitely take more than a dozen
They probbaly take somewhere between 5 and 15% of waitlisted applicants just I’m not entirely sure what the numbers are since each year is diff
the number they take is still super low
so i’m not like super confident but it’s like waitlist is like a soft no vs an absolute
Some schiols overenroll and take none off the waitlist
Bu i dont think uhci is one of those
true but i thought the over enroll only really happened at bigger schools
Just show them u are still interested in going and update them w ur new awards and how things are going
The way my counselor (former ao) put it was they waitlist hordes of ppl bc when someone withdraws or denies admission, they need to fill that exact hole
other than that it’s out of ur hands just accept ur waitlist spot and hopefully u get in 😭
Like male in humanities
Cuz they expected a male in humanities theyre going to scour the waitlist for so@eone who matches the profile theyre looking for
oh. asian in stem btw🤡
yeah, they have a set amount of people they can accept and a set amount of people they need to enroll so they fill it as much as possible because after all they still need to make money etc
Yeah but i meant more so its out of ur hands cuz they know ur a solid candidate and they know ur projected major and ur demographics
Theyll choose based on that
Not how good u r
College is a business
😔
yep p sure UChicago doesn’t do ranked waitlists
so atp it’s just by chance of others accepting/denying
You can attempt to raise odds like im grateful my hs is quirky and lets us basically ed3 to a waitlist
But it rlly is out of ur hands
Raise odds as in send updates and loci
yep I’m sure the acceptance rate of students on the waitlist with LOCIs and updates sent is much higher than those without
I need to send an update form but idk what id update with
💀
I havent done anything
If i get rejected from all other schools i like more ill pribs take advantage of our ed3 system and use it on uchi
🙏
u got it just send it over with an update of how ur classes are going what u have accomplished in clubs etc
ye delay it a little if u have competitions coming up
since u can potentially get award
bro wha😭😭
Ig i can comment on clssses
So u got no extra curriculars
umm I’m not sure rhen tbh I’ll try to think a bit for ya
how does getting waitlisted work? what does the loci do?
Omg me 🥰
They just waitlisted me so they can give me the good news later‼️‼️
Well fencing season j ended lmao
I alrdy updated them on a recent course addition i did in feb
And i included my internship plans for may
LOCI shows them you still value them and are interested meaning if they take you off the waitlist u will probably accept
N did u update them for that
Yeah for waitlist, loci is a lot about showing the school u rlly want to attend
It’s annoying tho cause were expected to act like a school is #1 choice without knowing the finaid package
Im probs gonna j toss in how we medaled at the tournament
Not necessarily, just because u accept ur waitlist spot doesn’t mean u haaave to go
Valid tbh
But my counselor also mentioned that aos know how to read the difference in subliminal msging they read hundredds of locis
Theyll know if ur language intends to mean ull 100% admit if accepted
It’s ok uchicago was just the warmup
Or if its generalized i rlly like this school
Colleges are just feeling a bit shy it’s fine 🥰🥰 I know mit got my back
Thats why my school does ed3 to boost our odds
What💀I have never heard of that
bro my school has only sent 2 people to ivys
idk if my school has sent any
One like 30 years ago and one like 4 years ago
But we sign a legal document saying we’d attend if accepted
And our counselor calls the admissions office
Saying we signed smth
👍 ED is pretty strict
Ed3 is so funny to me like how many rounds can it be LMFAOO
I j call it that
Ed4 😧
Cuz its quite literally ed3
brb gonna go apply ed7
But then again our counselors dont let us remain on waitlists after may
my counselors aren’t that involved they just upload the stuff they gotta do and then the rest is up to us
We’re told to withdraw so we can spend time making ourselves happier abt the acceptances we do have
Your counselors sound so overbearing id wanna be left tf alone 💀
Mines p chill
The woman is overbearing af
The things they do genuienely help and have solid reasoning
So idm
Like withdrawing ur safeties if u get accepted toa. Target
Makes sense
where are people getting the 15% statistic about the waitlist?
That’s just depressing
15%?
there is an ED3???
(for some schools)
Nah it’s just an ongoing joke we have. Because UChi loves ppl who do ED 1 or ED 2
lol, imagine an ED3 for waitlist tho lol
Would we do it tho?
only if I didn't get anywhere better
No my school j like
Has a legal doc for us to sign
To commit to a waitlisted school
Guaranteed attendance
And then they call the admissions of the uni and notify them
And whatever
huh
interestingg
also pls remove slowmode
I think its possible to be waitlisted from UChicago RD and get into an Ivy
Unless UChicago just waitlisted everyone, like WOTS claims
yeah but I mean if UChicago is higher than any school you got admitted to. And then your waitlist options are minimal - best to increase your chances than hope out of an Ivy waitlist. ykwim?
oh no i agree
I'm gonna grind this LOCI out sometime this week
And this video portfolio too
IMO being waitlisted RD probably means something (at least i'm holding hope for my other colleges 😭 )
i had a weaker app in terms of ecs compared to other people and yet i got wl'd so i hope it means my essay was good or smth
slow mode off apologiies
or maybe it's the luck of the draw
yeah our counselors obv take the "ed3" thing srsly so im gonna wait until after ivy day and april 1 decisions to officiate anything
i also wouldnt miind deferred acceptance to any top school
😭
like girl id gladly take a gap year
ed3???
my hs gives us a form to sign if we want to commit to a waitlisted school
and when we email that school with updates, we use definitive language saying we'd 100% go if accepted
and then our counselors call the uni
doesnt guarantee anything but it adds hope lmao
kool
ty
i think a loci is very recommended
I cant do another loci ☠☠
damnit
These fellas are working on the damn fourth round of UChicago decisions
Man why is the school like this
They’ll keep you on your toes until they can’t anymore
Do I even write the LOCI? 😆
It's like the person who cheats on you but just says they were "keeping their options open"
Any guidelines for it?
I mean in general remind uchi that theyre high on ur list if it is
Include why uchi and any and all updates
My counselor told me to send multiple locis
💀
dayum
Okay so I wrote my LOCI, do I email it to my state's AO?
if u didn’t do the video originally is it worth doing now?
5 votes and 1 comment so far on Reddit
The question is
What if I'm too damn lazy to do the video
Yea
I did my video alrdy
The thing is
The video is recommended
And therefore “optiona”
With the heavy quotes
Well they have to say that
I really don't have anything to add, that's the issue
Not rlly itll show u care
Have u seen the loads of other vids
No
i mean from my pov, doing the video shows that you care abt the school enough to do an optional thing
and if you're looking to (hopefully) increase the chances of getting off the waitlist, it's a great thing to do
Oh okay
Looks like I'm filming tomorrow
I guess I just solve a Rubik's cube and then talk
Yeah she said anything fine, even just talking abt ur favorite spot to read
Or favorite places in ur home
Or maybe a book I'm reading?
Yea
Oo okay
Thatd work
Okay should be fine
Mine was a bit overkill but its cuz i spent a while on it and i had a concept i rlly wanted tied in
if anyone wants make to take a look at their video id be happy to offer some feedback
speaking, anecdotally of course, as someone who made a video
how did you even structure your video?
like how does it work
are you just talking about yourself or whatnot
bruh i made mine in one day
dont think about structure
like just do what feels intuitive to you; you know yourself best
no no i mean like
what are you even supposed to talk ab
in the video
is it just whatever you like to do or something about yourself
literally anything u want
either of these could work
then i'll just do a video ab me cooking LOL
that sounds dope
you can still submit the video if you were waitlisted right
that i have no idea about
not sure if it is worth it, lol
dont need to put too much time
their RD is much more difficult for a reason lol
^^
yeah if ur still waiting on more decisions i would worry about thsoe first
and then decide if you wnat to make the video or not based on how ur other decisions turn out
meh, i only have 2 more so i'm not too worried
My video was like i had this concept and called doctors shaman then explained why i like medicine then explained two traits of shaman and how I’ve shown it in my ecs and general life even as a kid
for waitlisted ppl, where should we send the loci? to our regional ao’s email directly or upload it to our portal
apo
ao
Is it possible to get off the waitlist without submitting a LOCI?
probably but it's probably much better to submit one because it shows your continued interest
they're more likely to offer a spot to people who actually are interested in going
versus people who... do not
Alright, thanks. Could I wait a few weeks to send it as I will be getting the results back from a big competition then? Or, is this something that normally should be send soon after getting waitlisted?
When should I send the loci, I’m in Chicago rn visiting campus, before this Friday, perhaps?
Would it be good if I submit an additional lor along with the loci 👀
You can send multiple
Lol
You should give it to them in person
that would be so cool
They’d be like woah this person flew here to give this to us
(I have no clue what I’m taking about)
they recommend on the website to submit a loci if waitlisted ^^
😳
A2C should I kiss my regional AO?
Yes
😚
Only if they consent
Not sure if it will increase your chance of acceptance though
A2C me and my regional ao are in love.. 
Feel free to wait a bit for other decisions before you send it in
99%
An unknown amount
In general the stats will come out after the cycle is complete
15% ish?
That's what I've heard, who knows if that's accurate though.
If not, I do apologize.
That's kinda what it's been previously, but we really have no idea what it is this year
I imagine it hasn't changed too radically. Maybe it went up a little but that can't be by more than 5-10%, right?
Waitlist rates are so different from admit rates that it's hard to know, like look at MIT's waitlist rate over time, and many schools are admitting less and less from waitlist, but it could change radically
Oh huh, the more you know. Thanks for the info!
🙂
I just hope it's at least sorta low so I can feel accomplished for making it on the waitlist 😆
Totally hear you, I'm also waitlisted! I'm hoping that the waitlist admit rate is high this year so I get in 🫶
Yeah facts
Hey UChicago, if you need a white dude who's going into math but also likes the humanties, I'm your guy.
I'll give all of the money I make to you as an alumni: $20k/year as a postdoc.
UChicago 🗿
woah
Unknown
Does uchi require updates by a certain date
Or provide a day when wl will be closed
Or provide a day theyll notify wl students by
it’s on the higher end
so pretty
Ikr
The campus is so big and has everything
Apparently students here could get free city transportation 🗿🗿🗿
💰
im so excited to visit, ive never been to chicago
apparently we get 20 lyft passes per semester
or some figure like that
well we dont hae semesters
but i doubt it would be that much per quarter...?
i think
if you get accepted
you're probably doing more than visiting

(that is, unless you get into a higher option, for which gl!)
yeah but i mean
i like all of my reaches
northwestern cornell rice chicago duke brown
IF i get into more than 1
i'll worry about this problem
lmfao
low expectations means i won't get sad when i get rejected
esp since i'm a transfer
so this is the 2nd time
1st time taught me to keep expectations low
tyty
i got deferred and then i procrastinated hard, so i haven't written my loci yet (the deadline is this friday, but i definitely shouldve done it earlier and they may have read my app by now)
so i doubt im getting into umich at this point
on the bright side tho, me procrastinating means i have a few extra updates in my loci that might help but they dont really pertain to my major much 😔
oof, get it done brother!
when shld we send loci
Wait are we supposed to send it to someone? I thought were just supposed to upload it to the portal
That works too, I realized after I emailed lol
Aight thanks 🙏 just making sure lol
I don't see any LOCI in Chicago portal

Ok
I just realized I forgot to submit self-reported SAT scores to UChicago on my application. Will they still consider it if I submit them now(I was waitlisted)?
1580(800 math)
Did u report it on common app?
Yes, but I’m not sure that they see that?
Yeah, I did, thanks.
glgl
I think they do but probably submit it anyway
Better to be safe than sorry
hey fellow ‘27 :)

Ngl I think it’s fitting that it’s UChicago that says once you grow plants somewhere you colonized it
hihi
twolf asks: which one?
1⃣: grinnell
2⃣: reed
it's not
why would it be too late
huh
shouldnt there be plenty of time for an LOCI
but p sure you should submit asap cause the waitlist is probably always being updated
Nah
Mycounselor (former ao) says its fine to wait
And waiting if anything looks better
Shows that you took the time to consider your other decisions;
My hs’s counselors advise us to wait until mid April unless the uni has specific time constraints
oh yeah this is true
maybe it’s better to wait
I j visited campus so it would take me like a few days to write it and send lol
I desire to knowwaitlist stats
i’m waiting till my other decisions r out
waitlist
will ot
mean
anything
for uchicago
sorry guys no one gets in waitlist
isn’t it 15%
idt so
I know people who got in waitlist i dont know exact % but its more common than a lot of other top 10 Unis
oh
yay hopefully then
cope
I went to UChicago a few days ago and talked with regional AO, she said that waitlist decisions will be out some time in april before May 1
yay
🙏 uchi waitlist
Sameeeee
same lol
Same
Before May 1? Huh.
Brothers on the UChi Waitlist, I wish all of us luck
And I look forward to seeing you in Chicago next year
Hello
I am on the waitlist too
I should probably withdraw
because I dont even want to go anymore
I did
I did, maybe they'll send me to c/o '28 because I'm a junior lol
I'll just twiddle my thumbs for a year, that's fine
Nah I only did the waitlist one I don’t think I’m willing to take a gap year
Maybe I should’ve tho
Yeah I'm hesitant but if I could study abroad for a year I'd totally do it 👀
I would afk uselessly for a year
If I got good aid I could spend the rest of my college fund on two semesters of university in Paris with a homestay and that would be sooo cool
Exactly I’d waste hella time and I kinda want to get into the workforce asap
Fair
id hate needing to stay living out of my home
but id probably take a one year paramedics course
would be fun
or a year long intensive internship
or both
A year to recover from high school and ready yourself for college
You could get better study habits, learn to focus, find some passions, etc.
agree
i'd rather just go to another college than gap year
i’m waitlisted at the moment, but if you get into the gap year option, can you go to a school somewhere else and transfer for the next 3 years to uchicago?
exactly
it's not worth delaying your college education for a year just to go to a big name college
I dont think so
Like u could have one yr but youd need a special case in order to transfer credits
😔
is this a guaranteed admission to the '28?
Yea
It was offered to all waitlists j think
Honestly
If they select me for that
I'm just gonna take that as an acceptance and move on☠
“Sweet, I can brag about that, but they got me fucked up if they think I’m going to accept it.”
Fr though
They should've taken me RD !
Or EA
It's been 2 rounds and I'm still waiting ☠
fellow waitlisted people are you guys gonna submit a LOCI
I think several people here are planning on it!!!!
and what exaclty is that 2028 deferred thing
i see! thank you
i thought they simply automaticaly add you to the applicant pool
Hmmm I’m not sure I’ve never heard of that
I’d imagine it’d just adding you to the applicant pool like you said
i see i see ty
yea in probably a few weeks
Mid April probs
I'll have all my decisions back by then so I can evaluate
One of my friends did it last year
They basically say you can take a gap year and attend next year
Like you're admitted
Yeah but mid april
Its acceptance with a necessary gap year
They accept u into the class of 2028
what wha
NO wayy
but then everone one the waitlist would opt for that
Its not guaranteed
Its just another option
Like instead of notifying u u got accepted off the waitlist into ‘27
oh alright yeah that makes a lot more sense
i will always be weak to uchicagos praises
same here i dont mind taking a gap year at all maybe ill get a pre college glowup
mmm thats certianly true
if only uchicago wasn’t in chicago.. then i’d like it even more 😭
so would my parents..
If only uchicago called itself ivy my mother would like it more
She shames uchicago for being easy to get into
.
Like
bruh
Shes like “ik people with bad gpa that have gone there”
thats a little silly
no way 😭
im 100% convinced i used up all my college decision luck with uchicago
youll get some
Cuz like any school remaining
i believe in you
Id be fine with
the luck will come through
🙏
along with ur abilities
my parents have told me if i get in to any other top schools i aint going to uchicago since they hate that city so much
yeah there’s like 4 or 5 in the top 20 that aren’t freezing
yeah stanford, vanderford, caltechford, riceford come to mind as “not freezing”
Waitlist decisions come out before May 1 apparently
Still mid or early april
Just until i meet with my counselor abt ed3 n stuff
And get all ym decisions back
Ohhhhh nice
Where do we submit the loci?
Your regional ao via email
no gl all
should I still write a LOCI if I'm most likely not going to go to the school?
Only write a loci if you have continued interest
Lmao
i'm doing it
but like most ppl here, after i get all my decisions back and re-evaluating
will also make me able to say its my top choice and id 100% commit if i get in off waitlist
UCHI!!!
since its pretty high on my list and i would only not choose it over brown princeton columbia
all of which are probably not gonna happen for me
also definitely gonna submit a loci bc i have a ton of new info to update on (extracurricular stuff and competition stuff)
Am in the same exact situation w diff schools
keep your hopes up
but guys for y’all that been WLd
be a bit realistic Uchi waitlists don’t normally have many spots
Lmfao
For UChicago LOCI is it better to submit through portal or email regional AO
i think email regional AO is better idk
Yes
^^
How much of a priority should my LOCI be? I've been nonstop busy and will be for the next couple of days, should i do it asap?
it should be a priority yes, but you have plenty of time
u should be fine doing it in about 2 weeks ish idk
Gotcha, thanks for the response!
Does anyone know if uchicago is really that bad/mediocre for CS like a lot of people say
I'm already committed but I'm interested in what other people think
Perhaps you'll find out !

If we email our regional AO the loci do we j attach it as a pdf attachment and then send a short message along with it?
Advice varies on that front
i have a classmate who went to uchicago, this is a dm i got from him ab the school!
Is it fine to treat loci like all those creative writing prompts before? If I have a somewhat creative idea (ofc I understand that it still should contain some basic loci stuff like my achievements etc) should I use it?
omg fate pfp
no idea what the AO look for in LOCI. For wait list, from what i understand, they just look to maintain diversity that they had in their initial offers (e.g. if an asian female doesn't accept their EA/RD offer, they'll pull an asian female from waitlist, etc etc)
is it still good to send a loci now?
Yep as well as desired focus/major
Whoever applied premed please withdraw
/j
Exactly
would anyone here pick UChicago CS above UIUC/GT/CMU/UCLA CS?
never CMU or GT
but the other two possibly
hmm means you'd pick UChicago CS above UIUC and UCLA CS but you'd pick CMU and GT CS above Chicago CS?
very much depends what ur going for
if u want to do cs + econ or go for a masters degree in cs, i'd argue that uchicago becomes really appealing
as in ik for sure id pick cmu and gt CS over chicago
but chicago vs ucla or UIUC id have to think
probably pick it over uiuc
u got a whack tierlist lol
it's just my personal preference lol
