<p>according to the email, its because i asked for aid:</p>
<p>“The Committee on Admissions has carefully considered your application for
admission to the University of Chicago, Class of 2009. We were extremely
impressed by your credentials and we would have loved to offer you
admission, however we are unable to meet your financial need. Though we
are unable to admit you at this time, we would like to offer you a place on
our waiting list.”</p>
<p>so, i’ll have to see.</p>
<p>guys, do you know if i can accept Brandeis’s offer whilst still being on the waitlist for Chicago? and if chicago should offer me a place, could i dump Brandeis (losing the deposit) and take Chicago?</p>
<p>thanks guys - you’re really, truly great</p>
