interviewed in December, waitlisted in January, and now an email out of nowhere that doesn't even mention the WL. I thought it was fake at first lol
"Congrats on your acceptance! Please forward your SS# to confirm your acceptance at UChigago!!!"
oh shit sorry, didn't realize this was school specific lol. Reposting your question so ppl still see it!

Anyone still not hear back

ThickYellowPickle
14:25
I saw someone on reddit predict based on last year's data that this was the last big A wave, and going forward they'd be pulling from the WL
ThickYellowPickle
