I am in the same boat! I think it'll be a good idea to call, which reminds me I will probably try to make a call again today. Yeah, I feel so guilty for making the other programs wait. I've been receiving emails from the director offering to answer any questions. U___U Man, it's kind of infuriating they take so long to give an answer! It's like what 3-4 months after the decision date, what took them so long?!

I was lucky enough to be accepted into two programs and waitlisted to another. I haven't heard back from the waitlisted program yet, but I assume it's also because people haven't decided on their acceptances yet. Is it possible I could hear back after April 15? What would I do in that case? Would I accept one program's offer and then ask to be released, and then accept the waitlisted program's offer (hypothetically if I get in)? I know it's bad practice, so I'm just wondering about the ethics, etc.

Thank you for responding! The school is UCSD - I called them (didn't answer so I left a message) and emailed them but I haven't had an answer. Should I just considered it a rejection? The deadline is in a couple of days, but not having a response might mean there are those accepted who hasn't given them an answer yet right? And so they might be waiting to hear from them before giving me an answer?

Thanks for responding! Is it possible the school would never respond to me? Would it be beneficial to call instead for an answer? I'm hesitant in case of rushing them or something, heh. I just wanted to have all the answers before making my choice I suppose.

Hello, I was wondering how common it is to be considered "waitlisted" but not invited to an interview weekend. About a month after this school's interview weekends, I received a message via their application that I would be considered on the waitlist and that placement in the program may be possible based on recent past years. Is this a common practice among schools or just their particular program (this program is in biomedical sciences)? I emailed them asking for an update but haven't had a response yet. I looked up my application and it was still 'under review'. Thank you!
