silentlywaiting

So I've been waitlisted at two schools and have been told by both that I'll be notified by April 15 of my final status. Does anyone know when schools typically notify waitlisted applicants? Is it right around the April 15 deadline or is it awhile before (ex. one week)? Also, do applicants who are eventually offered admission receive more time to decide? I'm pretty much down to these two schools and am worried that I would have very little time to decide in the optimistic case that I am accepted to both.

I didn't receive any news today in the mail. I'm beginning to think that I've been rejected. On my application website, it says that a letter is forthcoming. If I were accepted, I would think that they would want to tell me as soon as possible, especially since most schools in my subject area have already notified applicants. Having to wait for a letter in the mail probably means that I've been rejected. :<

Since it is now March 20 and the April 15 deadline for notification of decisons is fast approaching, do you think most forthcoming notifications are rejections or are they acceptances that had issues with securing funding for he applicant? As for me, I just received word that a decision was made and that a letter should be arriving soon. I'm really really nervous about the outcome and would be curious to know what everyone's thoughts are.

Did anyone apply to JHSPH in the Department of Population, Family, and Reproductive Health? I emailed them a few weeks ago asking about notifications. They said that letters should be sent by mid-week last week. I still have not received anything. I checked my status on the online application and saw a message stating that a preliminary decision is available and that I can check it my clicking on the link, but there is no link. I've emailed the department but have yet to hear anything.

I just checked the website to see if they updated my application status. I saw a new message that wasn't there before. It says that a "preliminary decision has been reached on your application. Please click the link below under Decision status to view your decision." I can't seem to find the link. Does "preliminary decision" mean waitlist?
