Any updates on what happened? Did you get into UNC as well?

Everyone!!! Waitlist dreams do come true!!!! OMG! But, now I have to redirect my thoughts and plans since I was so ready to accept elsewhere!

Hi! I live in LA now by UCLA. Let me know if you need help with cost of living situation. I am also struggling with my own decision: prestige over fit, funding vs cost of living, etc. Good luck!

Wow super passive aggressive!

Just heard back from UT Austin. They said they have 7 people on the waitlist and prioritizing only the top 3. Unfortunately, I am not part of the top 3 because they don't have a potential faculty match for me yet. Hope you get better news! The universe is giving me all greenlights to accept Indiana's offer.

Has anyone heard back from the SUNY schools?

Sorry to hear that. How did your interview go with U of Houston, though? Sending good vibes!

So, which offer are you thinking of accepting?

Hi! Got an email to check portal. Letter via portal said I was invited for an interview. Good luck, everyone!

Right? I love city, the work they are producing, and the professors. Hate the stipend. The student I spoke with said that a lot of them just string together side hustles such as grading for professors, etc. But, still the cost of living is so high there! I've been Zillowing and its crazy!

The same! Gotta love that mid-west hospitality! Did you hear anything back from UT Austin? The last time I emailed was when the email first went out, inquiring if the waitlist was ranked. Sherry said it wasn't yet. Just heard from U of Denver that I have been invited for an interview! Good news finally rolling in! Woohoo!

Congrats! Are you still going to see if you get off the Waitlist for UT Austin? I just received an offer from Indiana University that looks really good, but a part of me still wants to see if UT Austin comes through.

When I went to go visit WashU (on my own), a current student told me that some people reject the offer. Some go to U Mich, U of Chicago, and Penn. So, don't lose hope! Congrats on getting the interview, I was flatly rejected!

Is this after they flew you in for the interview?

Haha right? In other words, just wait. Lol

Dean just wrote back, "We are about to send out formal letters via our admissions office to students to update them on our admissions process. Please keep an eye out for that letter in the next day or so, or certainly by early next week."

Congrats! I didn't get into U of Chicago, but received a nice personal email from the Director. Now its just waiting for the other schools to roll in...

Did anyone apply to Indiana University? Director said admission decisions will be sent out next week. I also applied to University of Denver GSSW, but they have been silent. I will probably send an email later today inquiring about their ETA. Hang in there, everyone! Happy Friday!

I haven't gotten any offers yet. My first two were rejections from WashU and U of Chicago. I asked if the waitlist is ranked, they said they haven't ranked it yet. Positive vibes!!!

Thanks for the pep talk! Really trying to remain hopeful!

Well, just got an email from UT Austin that I was Waitlisted. At least it wasn't my third straight NO. What are the chances of getting off the waitlist? I still have 3 final hopes. Please send positive vibes. Really trying not to get too discouraged since these first three were the Big 3 (top tier programs).

I got rejected as well. However, the Chair of the SSA Program wrote me a personal email copying the two POIs I spoke with, encouraging me to apply again next year because she enjoyed reading my application and just didn't have space for me. I am 0 for 2 thus far! These 2 were my reaches though, so hopefully I'll hear a YES from the 4 soon.

Thank you! Putting it out in the universe, that we are gong to receive awesome news soon!!!

Hi everyone! I am pretty nervous over here. I applied to WashU, U of Chicago, UT Austin, U of Denver, IU and SUNY-Albany. Got my rejection from WashU and based on people already hearing back from U of Chicago, I probably didn't get in either. #justneedtogetone

Hi! I applied to GSSW for Fall 2018 PhD. I submitted my application on Jan. 1. Haven't heard anything. I also applied to WashU, U of Chicago, UT Austin, IU and SUNY Albany. Rejected from WashU, and based on others already hearing back from U of Chicago, I probably didn't get in either. Ugh! I just need one school to take me!!!
