That's reassuring. I was looking mostly at Craigslist, yeah. Now I'm bouncing through some of the other sites UNC recomended

Hey friends, Moving from Chicago to Chapel Hill this fall and struggling to find an apartment. I want to live in Carrboro in a house and have done two roommate interviews and have been rejected both times, which is weird to me because I'm personable and clean and responsible. Maybe I don't have a good sense of demand? I'm stressed and wondering if I need to give up on the location/house dreams and suck it up and live in one of the (many) housing complexes. Thoughts? Advice? Thanks~

I live in Logan Square right now and I feel like the commute down to UIC would get old really fast. Logan is a great neighborhood and grad students do live here I just imagine it would be a hassssssle, but if you're not commuting during rush hours it wouldn't be as bad...

I'm also headed to UNC in the fall! Scheduling an interview with some Craigslist roommates. So excited to get settled in Chapel Hill/Carboro~~~~~~

I got some very similar language in my original waitlist notification from UNC in February. I've been in touch with the department chair (AmStu) and she said she'd let me know as soon as she can if someone declines their offer. I'm still hopeful if it's any consolation

Crossing all body parts that I come off the waitlist at UNC. Probably will decline my MA offer at GWU because of cost. If UNC doesn't pan out may apply again next cycle, but April 15 needs to hurry up. D:

Thanks!

Finally got my rejection from UT. A little bummed, but I received my acceptance today to GW's MA program today. Apparently they're giving me some merit based aid, which seems unusual for a MA program so depending on how things shake out with UNC's waitlist I could be in DC next fall. This whole process has been a total clusterfuck. Thanks for providing some solace in the madness!

Has anyone gotten the rejects from UT? I saw some admits/waitlists go up on the results page in January and earlier this month, but haven't seen rejects. Do they send them that much later???

Thanks. I'd probably decline if I had any solid admits. Holding on to waitlist hope....

Ah yep I'm the same. I think I'll bump over my app to the masters program just for another option. Weird that they wouldn't send out emails for that though.

Saw the GWU rejections on the results board. Don't know what to make of not having one in my inbox. Would they send rejections in batches?

Also got the no from Harvard. Wish my rejections would stop coming over my lunch hour. Really puts a damper on the afternoon.

I've heard from heard from half of my eight schools (one waitlist, thee rejects). I totally get the desperate need for one full on acceptance. I'm handling it poorly. I'm trying to find comfort in the waitlist and trying to plan for a worst case scenario future where it doesn't pan out this year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trying not to stare obsessively at my phone.
