[rich sapphire]

YAYAYYACONGRATS

[tribal garden]

THANK UUU

[tidal fractal]

waitlist people: do i understand it correctly that it won't harm our chances of getting accepted into 2028 if we say that we're open to being accepted to 2029?

or will it cause them to lean towards admitting us to next fall?

[rugged field]

god

thats sad

uchicago cs's student quality genuinely gives me the impression of a 50% acceptance rate

[rich sapphire]

ur not even a cs major bro

[rugged field]

if we were a good cs school i lowkey mightve considered it

but we aint

[rich sapphire]

u should transfer w how much u shit on our school..

[rugged field]

nah im here for the frat life

[weak storm]

Same question here

Anyone else writing a loci for this?

[tidal fractal]

yes i will but probably after ivy day

[weak storm]

Ngl kinda happy I got waitlisted instead of outright rejected 💀

Gives me hope

[tidal fractal]

ah same here

a friend of mine said uchicago is acting like a toxic ex - acting like they like me but it's really just unrequited love

but oh well hahah

[weak storm]

LMAOOO

We are getting manipulated 🥲

[bold girder]

lowk uchicago kinda goofy

[tidal fractal]

they are kinda goofy

they're as quirky as their creative essay prompts

[bold girder]

they artificially lower the acceptance rate with these shenanigans

[weak storm]

I was just in Chicago and ngl the city is def fun

[weak storm]

Anything to game the rankings 🙏

[bold girder]

like i got into basically everywhere but uchicago

so

[weak storm]

I have only gotten 5 out of 25 other decisions back 😦

[tidal fractal]

for someone not used to big (american) cities, do you think it's possible to adapt well to the city?

just based on your visit of it

[weak storm]

Oh yeah definitely

Adjusting to America is the issue the city will be fine (I am also not born in U.S.)

[bold girder]

chicago is nice

cold though

[tidal fractal]

ah okay well that's good to hear

[bold girder]

i gotta say

[weak storm]

It’s okay I live in the Midwest now

[tidal fractal]

hah i'm coming from western europe

[rich sapphire]

so now u admit to it
congrats lambda bro!

[weak storm]

Can go out in shorts in 50 F temperatures finally

[bold girder]

much colder fr

[weak storm]

But the city itself is so fun

[rugged field]

no im pledging dke

[bold girder]

true

[tidal fractal]

everyone here thinks it's crazy to apply to chicago bc they think ppl are getting robbed as they enter their dorms

[rugged field]

where's my congrats??????????????

[weak storm]

Well I’d def keep my head on a swivel if I were you

[rugged field]

dke brother in 2 weeks 💪

deeke

[weak storm]

Hyde park is not for the weak

Campus itself is safe

[bold girder]

just don't go to o block

or you might get cooked

[weak storm]

But the area around it is ehhhh

[rugged field]

nah bro j go to o block

dont see a problem its a chill park

[weak storm]

Quite literally

[rich sapphire]

TWO WEEKS TILL LAMBDA??

OMGG

[rugged field]

what lambda

[rich sapphire]

WILL U POST ON STORY

[rugged field]

i got rejected

😢

lambda did not give me a bid

i may repost a deeke initiation post

[rich sapphire]

uhhuh

dw no lambda bros on a2c

other than u ofc

[rugged field]

no

the lambda bros hate me

😔

[weak storm]

Does anyone know Uchicago acceptance rate for waitlists?

Couldn’t find anything on cds

[true path]

low asf presumably

[worldly pewter]

Not as low as normal rd

Guessing

[full raptor]

HELLO SIR

[fringe axle]

does anyone know what % get WL

[worldly pewter]

I don’t think it’s known. I’ve tried researching it too

[glad swallow]

i feel like my essay is what carried my waitlist

[rich knot]

Did everyone get waitlisted😭

[fringe dune]

waitlisted

rip

[untold hill]

according to anecdote no more than slightly above 10%

[devout ginkgo]

Based on the poll high

Looks like about the same reject and waitlist

[zinc jewel]

It’s a self selecting group

No way this is representative of the whole applicant pool for RD

[tribal garden]

yea fs

[devout ginkgo]

Oh yeah true

[steady obsidian]

Did anyone get in

I saw like 2 people

[fringe dune]

4 from a2c

[steady obsidian]

That’s fire

Good job guys

For those that didnt get in, still proud of you 🫂

[ivory urchin]

hey, is the waitlist binding at all. just curious cuz of this "first choice" letter suggestion on the website

[worldly pewter]

No waitlist is binding

Shouldn’t be at least

[untold hill]

uchicago admits off the waitlist like 75% based on yield rate/interest

so it should be ur 1st choice but its not binding

[ivory urchin]

oh ok

thanks

[untold hill]

LOCIs tht arent lies improve ur chances from what ive heard

im writing mine rn

[ivory urchin]

hmm i see

good luck

[untold hill]

thx

u2

[ivory urchin]

i cant repeat stuff from my why us essay right?

[tribal solar]

hi!

[worldly pewter]

I probably wouldn’t and add on extra stuff

[tribal solar]

did anyone receive the Destination UChicago award

?

[worldly pewter]

But you can prob repeat things from it but you should add extra things I’m guessing

[tribal solar]

i got an email about it

[ivory urchin]

oh ok

thanks

[tribal solar]

a couple hours ago

[untold hill]

did u get in?

[tribal solar]

yes!

[worldly pewter]

Ofc, I’m not sure tho but yes gll

[untold hill]

W

idk then

i got w/l

hopefully acceptance by may 1!

1st choice by a mile rn

[devout ginkgo]

When should you turn in a loci?

[untold hill]

asap

to ur regional officer

[devout ginkgo]

Should I wait for an award I know is coming out within the month or just send

And update later

[untold hill]

wait for the award tbhj

[ivory urchin]

should loci include updates in general?

[untold hill]

yes

try to limit entirely new components tho

[ivory urchin]

so updates and pandering mostly

[untold hill]

yes

[ivory urchin]

cool

[tribal garden]

how do you find out if you did?

[tribal solar]

through email

[tribal garden]

ihhh

[untold hill]

i think?

its like 10%

from what people have said

dont quote me

maybe this year is more

but im gonna like

go hard on it

[bold cairn]

Congrats to everyone who got in — happy to answer any qs about the school if you want. Just send me a msg or tag me here

-upperclassman studying econ/stats

[untold hill]

not admitted yet hopefully admitted at some time but question- what's freshamn course load like and where are the best spots to chill in the hyde park area @bold cairn

[humble echo]

hi

💀

[untold hill]

GG

my essay was like incomprehensible

it was super pretentious and 900 words abt philosophy

how did i not get rejected

[bold cairn]

HUM sequence + 130/150/160s calc sequence + intro major sequence/sosc/civ/arts + a secondary intro major sequence is a standard schedule — depends on your major

I’m a big fan of chilling at the point when it’s nice

[untold hill]

can u dm

the essays

[humble echo]

lmao i can dm the intro

[untold hill]

im bored and want to read tehm instead of doing my loci rn

can u do the other general essay as well or nah

[humble echo]

oh that was my general essay

[untold hill]

thats so cool tbh

no i mean the quirky prompt as the general one

oh

lol

[tribal garden]

yoooo

my essay was a science pokémon report

like a field report but in the world of pokémon. the creative one

[untold hill]

u got in?

[tribal garden]

yep :-)

[untold hill]

W

[tribal garden]

although i was lucky bcs i have personal connection to uchicago so i wrote my general why us about that

[untold hill]

can i read the pokemon report instead of doing my loci for chicago

[jaunty girder]

howdy!

[tribal garden]

do ur loci first!😡😡😡😡

[jaunty girder]

how'd admission day go for everyone?

[tribal garden]

1 for 1 today so it went good. how'd it go for you?

[jaunty girder]

i did my loci very late so dw

[jaunty girder]

uchicago?

[untold hill]

you got in from the wl?

[jaunty girder]

yup!

[untold hill]

also do you know anything abt the deferred waitlist

like take a gap year

[jaunty girder]

not sure, i did RD

[untold hill]

the other w/l option

[jaunty girder]

ohhh yeah, for gap year peeps - i know one who was accepted regular for the following year

[untold hill]

so its possible

[jaunty girder]

yes

[untold hill]

see im really young

so the gap year wld be fine

but going c/o 28 would also be fine

but i have to get one or the other first 💀

[tribal garden]

yessir

[tribal garden]

oh damn it happened that quickly?

[jaunty girder]

nah i'm a current student

got in last year of the waitlist

[untold hill]

how'd u structure the letter of cont. interest

[jaunty girder]

congrats! what are you studying?

[jaunty girder]

Here's how it went:

Dear (my AO),

I am incredibly grateful to have been waitlisted at the University of Chicago, and I wanted to send an email to express my continued interest in the school. Additionally, I want to update on some accomplishments since I applied.

Then I wrote about a club I was leading, an award I got, and an internship I was offered.

Then:
If accepted off of the waitlist for the University of Chicago, I would attend, and I would be incredibly excited about all the opportunities at the school, especially (then specific thing about professors and stuff i would be excited for).

Thank you,
Noah

[untold hill]

tysm

[jaunty girder]

Also i sent my loci on April 14th, which i believe was quite late.

[bold cairn]

Yes and no

[tribal garden]

ohhh makes sense

[jaunty girder]

still definitely email, just emphasize "yo i'm still very interested"

[tribal garden]

preparation for law school and law & letters that kinda stuff. sociology and law basically haha

[humble echo]

explain pls

[jaunty girder]

sick! i know there's several other uchicagoans here, but if you have any questions feel free to reach out

[tribal garden]

ok thank you!! i'll let you know ^_^!

[fringe dune]

lowkey same

wanna read each others lol

[untold hill]

w/l?

sure

[fringe dune]

yeah

wl

[bold cairn]

Are you rich or do you know a big donor

is basically what I’m referring too

lol

[rich knot]

neither of those

got waitlisted

[bold cairn]

Then it’s random

[gloomy ferry]

Rejected lol

[rich knot]

😭

my bad

[tribal garden]

aw :-(

[rich knot]

bad timing

[gloomy ferry]

Girl i was asleep😭

[gloomy ferry]

Lol no

[rich knot]

ucb got you🙏

[gloomy ferry]

Fr

[untold hill]

@jaunty girder were u either

[glass bear]

yurr

[rich sapphire]

unfortunate.

[humble echo]

welll fuck

[nocturne socket]

?

[gloomy ferry]

Ngl maybe i got rejected because i was too much of a tryhard

[hard heart]

UCLA will give you a full ride fr

[gloomy ferry]

it's okay im just happy i got in but also now i have a very tough decision😭

[fringe dune]

ucla/berkeley decision?

[frigid flare]

i have reappeared here to state that your essay was freaking awesome

[onyx cargo]

wtf happened here

4 acceptances 68 soft and hard rejections is crazy

[worldly pewter]

Makes sense tho bc they accept most applicants ea/ed

[gloomy ferry]

tysm😭 still one of my best essays but oh well

[gloomy ferry]

1% rd acceptance rate lol

[gloomy ferry]

Got in to both!

[bleak hedge]

is Berkeley out?

[gloomy ferry]

For some

[bleak hedge]

oh

[untold hill]

ok now i gotta read it

pls ssend it

[onyx cargo]

wait u got into ucb?? congrats but damn so u just got yield protected by uchicago 😔

[fringe dune]

same i wanna read uchi essays now lol

willing to exchange

[fringe dune]

nice congrats!!

[jaunty girder]

nope, also my understanding is that while it isn't ranked, it's also not random - they take people off depending on who rejected uchicago, depending on the probability they think they'll attend uchicago, and more

[worldly pewter]

Ye I think I read somewhere that they reassess their waitlisted candidates

[gloomy ferry]

yeah but it's ok

[gloomy ferry]

ok dm

[tiny blaze]

Wow you received 23 results already.. Hard worker!

[gloomy ferry]

yeah lol i EA'd a lot

[sudden wraith]

Does Chicago WL a lot. There seem to be tons of WL

[worldly pewter]

Probably but this server’s results r not a representation still of all applicants

[vast sand]

late but i got rejected (i was doomed from the start)

[jolly kite]

Same lmao rejected rd

[untold hill]

yay

i got rejected

🐮

i didn't even apply

bumass uni

[fickle night]

when should i send LOCI?

i alr spent like 5 hours writing it 😭

[untold hill]

ASAP

if you want to review here i am

i have already written 3

for ED/EA

[rich knot]

Waitlisted😭

[rich knot]

Dayum

[untold hill]

( i didn't apply) nobody rejects me

only i reject myself

[rich knot]

Real

[untold hill]

[untold hill]

I didn't get it

[obsidian depot]

If I accept waitlist, when will I get information on application waitlist status usually?

[worldly pewter]

I’m guessing after May 1st ish

[obsidian depot]

Wouldn’t we be committed already then?

[worldly pewter]

Yes and the waitlist faq recommends us to be in case

Some schools have pushed it to May 15

Like most ucs

Idk how it works tbh but I think you can “uncommit” from a school but you’ll lose your deposit

[soft aspen]

when is the deadline for whether u wanna stay on waitlist or not

[soft aspen]

if I accept waitlist spot and get in, do I have to go?

[silver locust]

nope

[worldly pewter]

Waitlists are not binding

[soft aspen]

ok thanks!

[cinder coral]

signing off on this channel.

[gloomy ferry]

you should dm me lol

[untold hill]

alr

[untold hill]

If they’re gonna accept you, early to mid April

I got mine like April 6th and they also came in waves kinda

[drifting marlin]

btw do y'all think it's a good idea to send an extra lor now

after wl

[solid flame]

hmm thats tough

i personally am not gonna but like idk how it works

if you're on the waitlist i think they have enough info to admit you

so now we just trust the process

but i do wonder if not an loci, could i report a few extra things have been going on with me

bc like 3ish rly cool things have happened since i wrote my loci

[glass bear]

arent you supposed to send another loci once youre waitlisted

[rugged field]

lmao a2c rlly do be having a 5.6% acceptance rate for RD

[untold hill]

from what ive heard uchicago cares more about yield after the waitlist point

but idk it might be a good idea

[drifting marlin]

i think the point would be more to stay active with uchicago

[ocean berry]

Do you think if I send my admissions counseler an email titled "pwease let me in" they would let me in?

[rich sapphire]

yes

[rich knot]

Only if you draw a little smiley face next to it

[glass bear]

do it in crayon

[rich knot]

Genius

[ocean berry]

guys i got a response they said something like "Stop harrasing me I will report you" is this a yes?

am I in?

[forest tinsel]

In jail? Yes

[acoustic pendant]

Omg it's a likely 💜💜

[ocean berry]

changing my name to Airman | UChicago '28

[humble echo]

bro did not change his name to Airman | UChicago '28

[rich knot]

Lol

[rich knot]

Congrats

Must be insane

Especially for rd

[ocean berry]

its a joke abt the emailing my ac "pwetty pwease"

[untold hill]

i meant like after you get waitlisted, not any particular argument lol

[untold hill]

yes

[untold hill]

@jaunty girder would you mind reviewing my wl-loci? im almost finished and probably will be tomorrow

[humble echo]

i just reread my essay and i fr called uchicago "quirky" 😭

[untold hill]

LOL

[jaunty girder]

sure

[wicked snow]

their loss

[random pagoda]

Yo am I not supposed to join the gc for admitted students if Im not committed?

Like idk if thats bm

[untold hill]

Probably not unless you decline the acceptance

[tribal garden]

can you send me link for the gc 😓 if there is one

[random pagoda]

There's one listed on the co2028 instagram page but idk if its the actual one

U also have to pay to access it

The 80k isnt enough

[glass bear]

yo what

theres a gc?

[tribal garden]

yo what 😭 doesn't sound like it's real but oh well

[random pagoda]

Idk

[tribal garden]

🤷

[random pagoda]

We could always just make one yknow

Like a server or smth

[tribal garden]

we could. would be a lot cheaper too lol

there's only a few people here who are in but we can find new people

[random pagoda]

If I made a server it prolly wouldnt even let me send the link here

Links are probably banned

[tribal garden]

that's true. have to resort to dming people and looking really shady haha
