Ughhh, I got wait listed. I’m happy I’ll probably end up getting in anyways but I’m upset it’s the Wait List and there’s a slight bit of uncertainty.
(Quick question: Has anyone tried registering yet? I tried but it says the username or password isn’t working so I’m kinda concerned)
@YoloSwagMaster I do not understand how they accepted you as an 8th grader, but waitlisted as 9th? Did you defere yourself as an 8th grader? So being invited for the interview as an 8th grader does not mean much?
@YoloSwagMaster yeah that reaaally sucks, but IMSA usually accepts most waitlisted kids. And even if you don’t get accepted, you should still do well at your current school
@guitarhero1 well, for the class of 2017, I believe everyone was accepted of the waitlist. However, for our class (Class of 2018) I think around 20 out of 60 ish people got in. However, our class was one of the more competitive classes to apply to IMSA so I think thats why we had so many waitlisted people. They probably won’t tell you what spot you have on the waitlist but it’s doesn’t hurt to try!
@priyaluvsbooks wow 1/20 I feel special now kek
Two of my friends from middle school got in as well. It’s funny, because we all had the same advanced math teacher throughout middle school, and he wrote all of our Optional Recommendations. I can expect that he’s overjoyed that all three of us made it in.
@caressmytoenails Congrats!! Hope to see you next year!
@red42413 Since the applicant pool is smaller, that most likely means the waitlist pool is too! You’re eventually going to get in, I assure you.
@Kagero @lsutiger25 @javascript You guys are all eighth graders, so you still have next year! If IMSA is your goal, don’t give up!
I was accepted!
Congrats @Qpint22 ! Hope to see you next year!
I got in!
Also congrats to @chicagonerd @PlanarStuff @survivorfan1 @coolcatz1 @Qpint22 !
@Qpint22 @bubblemaster3000 Congrats!
Hey, I know it might be a little early to be asking this but IIRC the accepted and wait listed kids from last year’s round of admissions made a kik group chat during their wait until sophomore year. I was wondering if anyone else was interested in doing that again this year?
@bubblemaster3000 IIRC, you are an eighth grader, right? Massive congrats to you!
@red42413 If we did that this year that would be divine
@PlanarStuff Thanks. Yes, I am 8th grader.
@bubblemaster3000 Just wondering, what are your stats?
We should make a hangouts group. Everyone here has a gmail right?
@Isutiger25 you mean SAT score? M800, R700, GPA 4
@PlanarStuff Okay! Uhh, I can either post my Kik username or anyone who wants to join can post theirs or PM it to me? I don’t really know how to do this, haha
Hey guys, I got in! Congrats to all acceptants! I got the mail a few hours ago. I am familiar with using kik and I could make a group chat if necessary, but I would be happy to join the chat if it’s already made.
@caressmytoenails I have Hangouts on my phone since I’m an Android nerd. However, I think Kik is more universal so I’m going to go with that.
@red42413 I’ll send you my Kik username.
@cubsfan14 Congrats!
@cubsfan14 Congrats!
@caressmytoenails I’d be up for a hangouts but I kinda have to agree with @PlanarStuff , I think Kik is a lik more universal, especially for people our age?
@PlanarStuff Okay, I got your PM, I’ll add you to a group but it’ll just be the two of us until other people join
