I received my rejection email this morning. I suspect the waitlist was ranked-- with those whose status changed back in February likely to be admitted, and those whose status changed last week perhaps less fortunate.
Best of luck to everyone still waiting, and to everyone admitted-- have a lovely year!
Hmm.... I'm wondering if everyone on the waitlist whose status did not change in February had their status change last week, or if there are applicants on the waitlist whose status still hasn't changed from 'Review in progress by department'?
I just received clarification from Tabbatha about the April/May email thing-- she answered, "That is an error on my part. While there is a chance that applicants will hear info sooner, I have erred on the side of caution and indicated May, but I am hoping I will have an update in April."
I believe most applicants were given until March 31st to accept their first-round offers? So perhaps we can expect a response in early April.
Odessa-- Tabbatha told me that she would be following up with me in May, so I definitely think you should take what she said as a good sign! Is anyone else on the waitlist able to provide feedback?
Found out I made the waitlist this morning! Let's be honest, I really didn't expect to make first-round admission after reading everyone's background on here. Did anyone else receive news this morning? Does anyone happen to know how many people are typically put on the waitlist, and how well they have fared in being admitted historically?
