Hello everyone. As we wait on our Fulbright decisions, let's take a moment to dream a bit. What are you most looking forward to? What do you want to learn? Personally, I can't wait to get back to Germany, take day trips by train and eat lots of pretzels.

Fingers crossed for waitlists to my two schools that have reported this week!

The board has about as many as last year. I'm wondering if anyone will claim the wait-list. Curious if that's over too.

Can feel my chances for acceptance this year slipping away.

Well it looks like in past years they offer admissions right up until the rejection letters go out. So far people have heard through unofficial channels - e.g. POIs - so its possible that some people just hadn't received a letter from a POI, or their POI just hasn't gotten to it yet.

Maybe UNC will finish its accepts today, rejects by Friday.

Congrats! Was it a personal e-mail or form?

Also comparative here, still nothing (positive, negative or neutral).

I hope so... I just got considerably more anxious. Edit: Congrats to the UNC Admits!

Any chance that we'll hear from UNC tomorrow?

Well, Quigley received a UNC, and UNC isn't quite due for the blast of acceptances - so it's quite likely that we have a candidate whom they wanted very much.

The day isn't over yet, though.

Congrats man!

The conversion from 1400 to 321 isn't entirely valid, because the new test measures intervals of improvement more effectively (e.g. the last few scores on the GRE aren't all within the same percentile). I'm just pointing this out in case anyone saw this and panicked.

Good luck to everyone today!

Sorry to everyone who just got the rough news.

Congrats to the U of Virginia admit!

That said, there's no such thing as a majority that isn't simply more than 50%. There are 2/3 requirements and plurality votes (most votes). For that, I'd recommend you read the Constitution.

Do you have any info on how long a waitlist tends to be?

How long does a waitlist tend to be for any given program?

Thanks for updating us. I'm still very hopeful for my top choice (which could be due any day over the next two weeks), especially in light of my waitlist today.

Congrats to all the admits! Looks like quite a few rejects were issued tonight too.

I have to say, being waitlisted isn't as bad as I'd thought. I'm not upset - although a little disappointed. It's nice to know that I at least qualify. And as long as I'm still waiting on other programs, there's still hope, so no time for despair.

Waitlisted at Pitt. Nice letter.

Sorry to hear it MarketMan. But you're still one acceptance ahead of me!
