Today I finally received the notification from Cornell: rejected! Although this was somewhat expected, it is not nice to receive this kind of notification this late. They could have said the same thing long ago, and I wouldn't have been suffering through the whole wait. Anyway, best of luck to everybody!

Applied to Cornell, UMass (Amherst) and Purdue. Last week I got an email suggesting that I was admitted at Purdue with no funding (right after I emailed some professors to ask for funding through TA/RA, but none of them replied). Without funding I simply cannot go there, so this situation is as good as rejected. About 3 weeks ago I sent an email to the ECE Departments in all three universities to inquire about my status, and they all responded saying basically that no final decisions have been made on my case. I haven't heard from UMass nor Cornell since then. At this point, I don't know if I'm wait listed in UMass and Cornell. I am holding on to the idea of being wait listed and I like to think that a final offer/rejection will be sent by 04/15 as some other applicants would have accepted/rejected their offers, but this is just hope speaking. Has anybody else been wait listed in these places? Am I completely wrong with my reading of the situation and should I just assume I was rejected?
