i know. so sad. Go Penn?

Edit: Also, I'm definitely riding this one out. The more I've looked at them the more I've liked Chicago; more even than when I initially applied. Anyone else?

[humdrum]

OH NOO!

Just got waitlisted via email. Status checker updated to today's date too.

I'll be withdrawing. No sense in riding this one out.

+1 Email came at 5:08 EST. Looks like I'll be a Wolverine in the fall.

[JohnYuu]

Does anybody know about chicago and their history of using wait lists? For example, I seem to remember reading somewhere that something like a majority of UCLA admits came off the waitlist. Also, it seems like Virginia waitlists scores of people who all have a very slim chance of getting in.

[tilghmab]

Waitlisted via e-mail at 5.08pm EST as well. I'm thinking I'm going to stick this one out, write a "Why Chicago"...anyone know if their waitlist is ranked?

[rockchalk86]

Sorry to hear about the WL's... any 1/25 people hear?

Sorry about the waitlists, guys. My numbers are very similar to yours (eerily similar to Crackberry's), so this gives me a pretty good idea what to expect when they get around to giving me a decision.

Chicago had some yield issues last year so they pulled a lot of people of the WL. Don't expect to hear back until about mid-May or beyond.

[GobiasIndustries]

Yup, WL email. Better than the rejection I was anticipating, but I'm not going to hold my breath to get off - I was pretty borderline. I'll submit some more stuff because it's far better than my current options, but will be realistic. So hey, cool.

Right now, I hope this yield issue happens again.
But come on, Stanford, you unlikely of unlikelies! Pull through for me.

[AngryAvocado]

Wow, sorry to hear about the waitlists. Was this really a full WL batch?

So much for the Twitter warning...

Chicago waitlisted a good man! (not that they could've pulled you from SLS anyhow)

Nope. Chicago's too cold for my blood anyway.

Apparently, there is a second, non-WL email that asks you to apply to a new merit scholarship going out as well.

Did you get one? Nothing here thus far.
