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 rankingIs 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.
I was waitlisted after the ASW, so I did not (obvi lol)just curious - how many of those with As after waitlist went to ASW?
Nope, though I was WL after ASW I believe.just curious - how many of those with As after waitlist went to ASW?
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.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... :/
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.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?
Likely true, I was waitlisted, got invited, then accepted.Alternate List (AL) is the same thing as WL, that’s just how they call it.

just adding another data point - I was waitlisted, got invited, and still on WL
i’m in the same boat. i interviewed first week of march (3/4) and i haven’t heard anything back not even a WL. but hopefully will hear back this week 🙂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?
66 LMTo everyone getting off waitlist pls include your LM. - sincerely lower stats student <3

Also curious. AL 10/15 and LM 69I’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
Same! I just posted something about this on the WL Manifestation thread. Really curious about this.Also curious. AL 10/15 and LM 69
ya i didThose 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 ALI’m curious...

I got an acceptance package!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)
LizzyM scoreWhat is LM? currently on AL as well
Would love to know as well!!+1 OOS A after WL 12/2024! Does anyone know what are good housing options or where to look?
Congrats on the A! 🎉+1 OOS A after WL 12/2024! Does anyone know what are good housing options or where to look?
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!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.
