do any of you feel like you may commit to a school knowing your first/top choice has still waitlisted you? what is your plan? #askingForAFriend #me
If it were me I'd just go with the one I was already offered, so long as you like that program as well. But I'm big on safety.
I feel like our chances of being admitted from the waitlist after 4/15 are so slim anyway... but who knows! THIS IS SUCH A TOUGH TIME. Going crazy.

Starting to feel like a crazy person!!!!!! Get me off of this waitlist!

Hi, I am new to this thread, and had a few questions for those who are more informed! As a bio BA and psych MA, I ended up applying to a few neuro programs this cycle and was lucky to be waitlisted at one. This ended up my only hope and also one of my top schools. In the waitlist email it was mentioned that they will let me know before or by 4/15. But I wondered, since it is the deadline for people to defer their decision, how will the waitlist people hear back before this time? Also, my school is a rotation program so my POI will have no power in giving me admission...so it is just a bunch of the prospectives that were offered positions and a bunch being waitlisted and the rest rejected after an interview.
Also, does this timeframe differ if you are an international student? Really hoping to find out...
Good luck to everyone who is on the waitlist! We will all make it!
This is pretty standard. Not sure if you've heard back yet, but some schools give those with initial offers a deadline of 4/15 to decide. If some of those people decide to go elsewhere and a spot opens up, the program may reach out to waitlisted candidates in the following weeks. I am sure every school is a bit different. I have no idea how being international factors into this process!
Best of luck to you!!!

Is it worth it to email the program administrators and let them know I'm still interested? I'm waitlisted at my top choice and hadn't applied anywhere else, so it's not like I'm waiting to accept an offer at another program... just really want to get into this one. Any thoughts?

It happens, guys. I got an email last night (Friday night) letting me know I was accepted off the waitlist at 9:40 PM.
It's also pretty cool to know your professors care that much that they want you to have the info as soon as possible.
You're giving me hope! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Anyone on the waitlist for Neuroscience at USC? More importantly, anyone make it OFF the waitlist for Neuroscience at USC?!!!

Currently on three waitlists (no acceptances). Really bummed because I feel like this means that I'm sufficiently qualified for the programs I applied to, but I'm just not an exciting applicant. I can't realistically reapply next year, so I'm really really hoping something comes through.
I know that waitlists aren't the end of the world -- I could still get in! I'm qualified! There's hope! -- but still... feels bad, man.
I hear you! Fingers crossed and keep us updated!

I'm glad this thread is here, even if it's not super active this year! I'm dying over here - waitlisted at my top (and only) choice program, and they can't give me any info about ranking on the list or how many other people are in the same boat.
Refreshing my email every 5 minutes is getting olddddd.

Got an informal rejection email. Back to the drawing board- here's to hoping for better luck in 2017.
Hope you guys were more successful!
