2023-2024 University of Chicago (Pritzker)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was accepted last month but just curious if based on trends y'all think this is the last acceptance wave?

post-II R just now. I am genuinely devastated, especially not to even have a chance to be on WL. I sent a letter of intent and became really close to my student interviewer (we still talk). he even sent a follow up email telling admissions why I would be a great fit. I gave everything I could. this one hurts

I'm sorry to hear that. For what it's worth remember that if all that generosity from your interviewer was the main reason you got in, you would not be an an institution run by people who saw your potential and saw the fit there. I know it sucks to hear but you are a great person with unique attributes and deserve to be at a place that recognizes that and wants that match as much as you do. Pritzker didn't, and that's on them but you don't want to be there either
 
also post-II R. I thought this school was the best mission fit of all the schools I applied to & interviews went really well so now it has me really anxious that the rest of my decisions are gonna be Rs
 
OOS WL, interviewed in October.
Congrats to all the As today and hoping for the best for all the WLs ❤️

It’s a small class, email says 10-20% of class is off the waitlist which is like 9-18 people
Oh yeah you right. I kinda overlooked :\. Email says it’s not tiered.. Any idea how many folks get in WL?

I'm wondering if this is the final wave or not... there didn't seem to be too many ppl reporting calls... or I might just be too hopeful. Idk if anyone has any insight🙏🏽
You could email admissions and ask, they are always super nice and responsive.

Edit: ignore this since I didn't see the other posts when I typed this
 
turns out admissions usually sends out a facebook group link around second look time!! and a groupme usually forms around thenmight be better to just wait it out so it’s more official/less confusing
