Chicago Waitlist c/o 2017 Forum

[lemons]

I've been checking it pretty religiously and no movement for me either what is the likelihood that they won't take anyone from the wait list? I feel like that has never happened before :/

Pretty low. They'll probably just wait until late summer and admit only a few people.

I've also seen no movement.

It's weird that no one had been accepted from Columbia and Chicago off the waitlist. Wonder what they're plotting

Yeah it is totally odd.... this time last year people were being interviewed and there were already some acceptances. But I'm still optimistic

When's Chicago's first day of classes/orientation?

[FinalFour]

When's Chicago's first day of classes/orientation?

Orientation starts Sept 15 and classes start Sept 29.

I sent an email regarding Waitlist Status and got a response that the numbers for the incoming class are "pretty firm". Also, according to the response typically if there is movement on the waitlist it doesn't happen until some point in September. So...uhh...yeah...I don't know how many people can actually wait that long...

Hmmm, wonder if you randomly triggered something. I just went to another UR status as of today.

Damn.. I didnt go under review again.... but I'm sure that it is a good thing that you went under review, just based on last year's thread! So congrats !(?) (Possibly premature haha but I'm pulling for you )

stats? I can PM if that is better.

[BuddyHoller]

I am also under review as of today.

[MT Cicero]

Please PM if you want stats (just sent one to you msdiva). BuddyHoller, sending you a PM promptly.

[rigoding]

I went UR today too, but I can't see how this could be a good thing for me. couldn't do the interview and did not follow up with any LOCIs.

[bellecoeur]

I also went under UR today. No interview. Interesting development.

[lemons]

Ahh! I'm excited/anxious for all of you!! Good luck to everyone who is currently UR

[Serett]

Also UR. No interview, no LOCIs. Can't say I'm optimistic.

[Hahalollawl]

Also UR. I haven't been checking the status checker much, what was it before, waitlisted?

Anyways, honestly not convinced it means anything. Though it would be kind of interesting if it was a result of me emailing them (yeah right...). Maybe everyone else can email them too and ask them for an update/more information? Maybe it will put some pressure on them?

But come on, September? Don't classes start before then?

@Serett how long you gonna stay on this one? Doesn't our orientation start on August 19th? Would you uproot from Durham to Chicago if it happened?

[samoby]

UR today (well...technically yesterday), as well. No interview, one LOCI. Not particularly optimistic, and pretty set on where I'm going, but interesting nonetheless.

Classes start September 29 which is definitely much later than other schools so they're probably in no big rush considering there's more than 2 months before the first quarter starts. Even though it's inconvenient for those on the waitlist still very interested

No UR for me here - did not write an LOCI. Stats in profile.

What happened last year? Does going UR generally mean you're being considered or do you think they're culling the wait list? I'm UR but I have bad stats for chicago

If I remember correctly, a UR wave preceded a round of interviews, which preceded a couple offers going out. But I would check last year's thread. It was certainly much earlier in the summer - after which point I didn't really follow the thread, so maybe there was a UR wave after that that was mostly dings. But it's going to be highly dependent on how many spots they're looking to fill (if any) - not necessarily consistent year-to-year given the small class size.

Thanks! Skimmed last years thread and you're correct but I didn't notice any ding wave (emphasis on skimmed however)

According to the email I received, "Typically if there is movement on the waitlist it doesn't happen until some point in September". Was this not the case last year?

Considering most other schools start before then, I can't believe that would be the case. And it definitely was not last year. My waitlist offer came in early July and another TLSer got one the same day.
