Their yield rate is 87.94%, higher than Harvardâs 83.7%. They have achieved such a high yield rate mainly with large number of waitlists. Basically if they have any doubt that you might not attend, they will waitlist you.

Historically have there been many students taken from the waitlist? Or is it like MIT where barely anyone gets accepted

Usually if you write an LOCI, they will call and ask if you will commit. If you say yes, they offer. They manipulate the yield that way.

Got, it thank you! If/when they call and ask you to commit, are you expected to commit same day?
What if you say yes and donât commit? Do they send a hitman or something?

Thatâs what I had seen when my daughter applied couple of years back. You have to commit immediately though. Otherwise they are likely to reject, which happened for my daughter.

They give you a day or two or some kind of timeline. Thatâs why the yield is not 100 percent! My daughter wasnât ready to commit even verbally!

Wow tough game to play. S24 got waitlisted but UChicago is not his number one choice. Tough decision now, if this scheme is true, it is no different from ED2 then, but that defeats the purpose of applying RD is to have the option to see if it works with other schools.

Ask him to make up his mind! Another thing they do is also ask students to commit for next year. I had seen that before.
Do they allow you to start somewhere else and transfer in if that is offered or do you have to do a gap year?
Same result
Twin accepted RD, She only applied RD.
sister was accepted ED1.
