Not sure who you talked to, but this is not at all correct. People are accepted throughout the application season, and the waitlist is formed in the spring.
In general, while I understand everyones' emotions were flowing on Friday, relax. It was literally the first day that Pritzker could accept anyone; if you didn't get accepted within the first few hours, you shouldn't be taking it as a sign that you're a failure.
As some have mentioned here and as we've mentioned on the podcast, some current students here were accepted as late as late summer before classes start. That's almost a year away. Take it from me: Your mental health will be much better off if you learn to take this process one step at a time and let it play out at its own pace.
Also, statistically speaking, the fact that only one person in this thread has been accepted doesn't suggest that Pritzker has only accepted one person. It's hard to believe, but some applicants don't ever post on or even use SDN, so while it's a very useful resource, you have to remember that it's not an entirely faithful representation of the overall applicant pool.
Good luck to everyone in the rest of this process and congrats to those already accepted!
Some people said when they called school they were told "If you didn't received phone call in Oct 15, that means automatically on hold". Well, but today it sounds things come to be different
