Chicago sent out a google form to their WL with the standard questions about competing offers, etc. But the very last question on the form lays out the Chicago offer and asks bluntly: "Would you accept this offer?" with only three possible choices (yes, maybe, no). How confident should one be that they would actually accept in order to answer "yes"? I'm feeling a bit conflicted tbh, since I'm not totally sold on Chicago but also feel that answering "maybe" would hurt my chances.
It's a bit of a long shot to ask here but does anyone happen to have info on admit/WL/yield numbers for top schools this cycle? All I know is Stanford yield (supposedly) up and some were cut from WL early, and NU/Chicago seem to have pretty long WLs. How about Princeton, Yale?
Looking at gc from last cycle, NU sent some rejections+acceptances in the first wave but then waitlisted a huge number of everyone else...I wonder if that's what's happening again.
Last year, Princeton did calls for the first time and some people thought they were trolls at first because they didn't call in the past. There's really no way to know unless we see a few more acceptances or someone can confirm.
Have you tried checking your Wolverine account? The decision may be posted there under the New/Prospective Student section. If it's not, I would email admissions, it seems like all decisions should have been out for a while.
Seems like those of us who did dual applications (with econ first choice, MECS second choice) haven't heard anything from econ yet. Since Kellogg MECS is already out, is it fair to say this was just a wasted application fee and there will be no second choice consideration? 😳
