Any one else whiling away their time while they're waiting around endlessly reading old threads? For some reason, I find them so interesting.
Also, I keep getting these "status change" emails from Milwaukee, and it's kind of frustrating, because I keep expecting an admissions decision when I open the email.

He would be a really brilliant supervisor for your project, and he placed recent students of his at Stanford, Toronto, Penn State, and so on, so you'd be in good hands. 

Did you decline your offer from SUNY Buffalo? Wondering why it's crossed out. Lurk mode over 9000. 

Thanks! I am the "side-bitch" applicant, as it were.

Waitlisted at Syracuse! This is my top pick left (given that my MA thesis was on Fred Beiser). If you are planning to accept other offers, please let them know. Syracuse is my dream school for my dissertation -- not that the preferences of a stranger on the internet will persuade anyone anyways, but had to say it regardless!

I think this is the first time I've actually laughed out loud at a post on here. Congrats on your success and hope you get an offer at Syracuse in the end of all this! (Or preferably a bit before the end ;))

Indicated that it's a ranked waitlist but didn't release info about my spot. The supervisor with whom I wanted to work thought well of my sample - that was the only info I got, so hopefully that counts for something.

@Schopenhauerfanboy You're killing it with the waitlist offers! 

Waitlisted at Boston U also! This time the only info was that I wasn't on the initial list of fellowship offers, but that I would receive an offer if enough initial finalists decline.

Did anyone else find the McGill letter particularly harsh? haha. "It will be impossible to admit you." My friend's read "We refuse to accept you." !!

Rejected from Catholic U of America. Wasn't the best fit anyways.
