UChicago Waitlist

Also, does anyone know how likely it is that you’ll get a spot from the “gap year” waitlist option? Does your application just get considered again in the class of 2022, or do they guarantee you a spot but you just have to wait a year? Seems like lots of us got waitlisted this year, but the statistics on the waitlist are rather unclear. Everyone does seem to agree that the UC waitlist is very large. Just wondering if anyone could provide any words of wisdom or if the waitlist is so large that I should just forget about it.
