waitlisted. very depressed since I’ve been waitlisted to pretty much most schools right now
36 superscored ACT here… it’s not all about grades!
@Bluebrry Hey, at least there’s still a chance!
@Caesaroctopus I also wrote on the Waldo prompt…my ACT was 33 though 
A little surprised I wasn’t at least waitlisted? My stats aren’t amazing but they aren’t too shabby. Maybe they didn’t like my essays 
for future applicants: My portal was updated at 5 pm EST exactly but I did not receive an email until 5:46 pm EST. Be sure to check the portal! Good luck to all those who were waitlisted, and congrats to the accepted!!
Is remaining on the wait list binding? Tbh someone has probably answered this question already but this thread is getting longer so fast that I can’t keep up…sorry
No…the college will not force you to attend if they pull your name off the waitlist
@ballerina1205 no its not
It’s not like ED, you can be on multiple waitlists. The only thing is that if you decide to accept their offer of admission from the waitlist, if you’ve sent deposit money to another college, you will lose that money
How to check the status? Which site did you used?
@navajocn Log on to your UChicago account: https://prospects.uchicago.edu/apply/status
@navajocn It is on the portal where you tracked the receipt of your application materials 
Scroll down and there will be a button that says “View Status Update”
Bzzzzzzz
Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute. Initiate system reboot.
Static crackle
Are you guys accepting the place on the waitlist now? UChicago is my top choice.
@NotVerySmart Yeah this guy was really just a tool who thought he could use credentials to verify getting into UChicago but found out otherwise. I’m sorry I have to be this harsh with you @rahuilmars231
waitlisted… =’(
how do i get off of the waitlist ?
waitlisted af! Congrats to all accepted! To all who were waitlisted or rejected — you are still the same amazing, brilliant people you were before you sent in a UChicago application!
@lyannastark Yeah. It’s not binding, so why not?
@memelover I guess we’re on the same boat again… good luck for Ivy Day!
