I've been accepted to Louisville and "top 10" waitlisted for funding, am #4 on the fully-funded waitlist at Oklahoma, and accepted to Tennessee but on the non-ranked waitlist for funding. Does anyone know what the likelihood is of actually coming off of the waitlist? Louisville and Oklahoma but stated that often times, waitlisted candidates were ultimately given funding, but this is a bit stressful. 

I’m #4 on Wayne state’s waitlist for funding and was told I “should remain optimistic.” So, I’m right there with you. Good luck!!

Does that mean a 7th color is coming soon for withdrawn apps?

 

I think there's hope! Most programs seem to admit 2-3x their incoming class in order to meet their target size. SLU says there are 64 grad students in their program. This equates to around 12-13 per cohort! Not everyone will accept their spot and someone in the first or second spot might reject for a different offer!

@Warelin I’m currently 4th on a waitlist that plans to admit 7-10 students this year. I assume that puts me in 11th, although I’m not sure. Your message just gave me a glimmer of hope again - thank you!!

Waitlisted at Wayne State in Detroit. First choice for me as I have a child plus a husband with a job already in the metro Detroit area. Anyone else on the WSU waitlist? I was told I’m in fourth position and that I should remain optimistic - oh, if only they knew how my brain works!!
