I'm also going to UT Austin next fall for a PhD! I'll be around Austin for most of the summer if anyone wants to meet up!

I highly cherish my collection of mathematics textbooks!

I'm visiting University of Utah in two weeks -- I'll report back some initial thoughts!

whoa where did you get that stat? I was under the impression that schools dont dig to the waitlist much...I hope its true! I have many waitlists!

I got a waitlist notification from the director of graduate studies at a school on a saturday...so yes -- you can definitely hear back on the weekends!

Waitlisted at 5 programs...5 of which I like...hahaha

I got my fourth waitlist. I am a waitlist magnet!

I was thinking about contacting one of my programs but had no idea how to go about writing such an email. What did you ask?

If anything I'm more motivated to study now. I'm taking a graduate course that I know I will have to take a prelim in within the next two years so I want to learn it all really well now to make my future easier. I'm also taking some other topics courses and independent study that relate to my potential specialization so I want to learn as much as I can before I enter grad school!

I didn't hear a response from a few schools so I emailed them and got prompt replies about waitlists. If you are really curious, try emailing the director of graduate studies for your school/department and hopefully they will respond!

My one admit so far needs me to go to a 2 week TA workshop before classes start....so I should be moved in late July if I go there! I'm taking a week trip to canada for a music festival and hopefully a road trip somewhere in the summer too. The rest of it will be spending time with my beloved home town before I have to say goodbye!

Thanks! I do have one admit so the pressure is not as bad anymore. The three waitlists are all from schools near the top of my list though!

I have never pulled an all-nighter for anything. My immune system sucks and if I don't get sleep I am bound to get sick! Hopefully grad school will not force all-nighters on me haha

I'm an INFP with super high N and F! Me being a pure mathematics person definitely aligns with the "N" part.

I am a proud member of three waitlists now!
