ILTWat

Yeah, she called me a while back, and told me she had 5 spots to bring people in. What I didn't know is that was 5 spots total for both the terminal Master's and PhD (sounds like you applied to the terminal Master's, right?). So, I'm wondering if there's separate wait lists for each program or not. She told me (I applied to the PhD program) that there were only 3 people on the wait list for this cycle. Did she mention anything about how long your wait list was for the terminal Master's? Akron is really my last hope (although I suppose I'm still on FIT's wait list, but I'd much prefer Akron), so I'm just trying to follow closely what's going on and resist calling them asking where they are on the wait list/initial offers. The 15th is just looming around the corner at this point!

Just to shed a little light on Akron: I've been contacted by them a couple of times and I'm in the 2nd or last place on their Wait list (that's right, their wait list is 3 people). According to the program director, she thinks, based on the responses they're getting from the initial offers sent out, that she's going to go through all the people on her wait list (this is just a guess though, anything could still happen). Since I'm in potentially the 3rd place out of 3 places on the wait list, I would assume that if you were in either of the other two spots that you would've been contacted by now. Were you contacted in early March/late February about their short list? I don't want to dash any hopes, but I'm just hoping to provide some insight, so you don't feel completely in the dark.
