Is their waitlist ranked? Was waitlisted back in Feb but haven't heard any news beyond confirming my continued interest in staying on the alternate list.

it is ranked, but they dont disclose your spot on the ranking

 

[campanelle]

Withdrew my A! Good luck to those on the AL—hoping you hear back soon.

 

[PlzFix]

OOS A!!!! II 3/25, WL 4/21

 

[WhiteCoatDreamer1]

I interviewed on 3/25 but I haven't heard anything (WL, A, or R) since then. I know they said they would send a decision by May 1st so there's still time, but I just feel so impatient haha 🤣 Is anyone else in the same situation?

 

[seequinn]

OOS A! Interview 2/11, WL 4/21

 

[PistachioSkies]

just curious - how many of those with As after waitlist went to ASW?

I was waitlisted after the ASW, so I did not (obvi lol)

 

[Curious2001]

Has anyone been able to contact the office of admissions or office of financial aid by calling the numbers on the portal? I've been trying to call them for weeks but no one has ever picked up or called me back, even after receiving an A. Is this normal or just me? A little concerning tbh... :/

Nope, though I was WL after ASW I believe.

Have you tried emailing them? They normally respond pretty quickly. Also they are known for giving essentially no aid. They have very limited scholarship opportunities.

 

[catlover2000]

Im confused, so RFU has an alternate list AND a waitlist? Also what does ASW mean. Do waitlist students have a higher chance of getting an acceptance?

Alternate List (AL) is the same thing as WL, that’s just how they call it. ASW was the admitted student weekends, and some AL students got invited to that. We are assuming that those who were invited to ASW were at the top of the AL (since it’s ranked) and a few of them have already gotten the A since then.

Likely true, I was waitlisted, got invited, then accepted.

 

[PistachioSkies]

just adding another data point - I was waitlisted, got invited, and still on WL

[butterflysquash]

I’m curious... Is there a reason why a large chunk of applicants that are getting off the WL are from late interviews compared to early interviews. Curious because there are a decent number of applicants that got on the WL back in Oct/Nov

 

[butterflysquash]

Also congrats to everyone that got off the WL 🫶🏼🫶🏼 it is well deserved

Same! I just posted something about this on the WL Manifestation thread. Really curious about this.

 

[yoomi]

Congrats to everyone who just got an A!!! ◡̈

 

[hwisc1207]

Those who have been getting the A, are you getting an email to check your portal? WL on 2/18, lower stat student

Not sure but based on the previous posts; I don’t think they were accepting a lot of students in Feb/March/beginning of April. For some reason people were being placed on AL

 

[Shikamaruu]

What is LM? currently on AL as well

 

[Curious2001]

Has anyone with an A received anything in the mail? I know they sent notebooks after II but wondering if we're going to get anything post-A (even just an A letter)

Congrats on the A! 🎉

RFU has a pdf with some suggestions for off-campus housing on their Website. Also according to Reddit, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, and Knollwood are the best areas to live, and to stay away from North Chicago and Waukegan. I’m not from the area so no idea how true that is. Probably a better question for the admitted student GroupMe because there are some current student ambassadors there.

Before I withdrew I was looking at like deer valley, station 250, and a few others more west of the school or south. Do not go north! Every student like really recommended staying away from northern Chicago!

 

[Relaxative]

Is there an estimate based on previous years for the % of AL candidates who come out with A from CMS?

Do you know why they said to stay away from North Chicago and Waukegan?

 

[life_in_a_nutshell]

Can someone pls share the accepted student GroupMe?
