[turned down offers thread]

I just turned down a funded PhD offer at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Best wishes to everyone on the waitlist there!

[Fall 2014 applicants??]

Should I even bother calling Irvine at this point? Probably not...

 

Horb, I think you should still call, especially if you paid to have your scores sent. Perhaps they did receive your scores and just did not update their website. Call away! We all need any type of closure we can get during this time. Good luck!

Trying not to panic about the UC Irvine acceptance on the results search page...

Ditto...

[Waitlisted]

Here to join the slightly-better torment that is the waitlist pile. got on the list for Texas Tech last night.  Probably the friendliest letter I have ever received.  Very nice and encouraging, and, most impressive, very honest and forthcoming about their process and their struggles.

 

But, because I'm kinda a moron sometimes, I didn't even think to ask a few questions in the thank-you Email.  I just thanked them and said that I was still thrilled to be in consideration.  But their letter said funding was pretty short, so I'm kind of figuring they don't know much more than I do at this point about how many they're likely to take off the list.

 

...still wish I'd asked, though.  This is why I shouldn't Email people before 9 A.M.

 

Katia_chan, why not send another e-mail to the DGS inquiring about your position on the waitlist, especially since you already have an acceptance? You could tell them that you wanted to follow up to let them know that you have received another offer but still remain very interested in their program. Perhaps, like you state above, they really do not know how many applicants they will be able to admit off of the waitlist, but you will never really know where you stand until you ask.  Best wishes and congratulations!
