Accepted

Waitlisted… anyone know the chances of getting of it?

@Volunteerism I think it’s in the deans note on the portal with your decision

Not exactly true. It would only be true if everybody accepted attended, they accept probably a little over 2x the actual amount that attend

Accepted! Honestly can’t believe it…does anybody know when/where financial aid packages come out?

Waitlisted at UChicago and WashU so there’s honestly no structure to this game of college admissions wow. Hopefully FA comes through

Rejected…

Also, that doesn’t mean a 4.8% acceptance rate, they accept a lot more people than they have spots for, because not everyone accepted attends the school
