I can’t help but reference the Yale drama from a couple of days ago.....
This response strongly sounds like “THEY ARE MY OFFERS [!!!!!!]” lmao ? 
I personally (and basically every expert I work with in the field?) think it’s absolutely inappropriate and inconsiderate to hold on to more than 2 offers at any given time. It’s a jerk move, but you do you, boo!

This is so unfortunate but I feel like this happens much more frequently than we think. I am also a woman, POC, and felt this exact way at two interviews.
On the other hand, it could have been the case this PI did actually advocate for you, but perhaps the committee/other faculty turned you down due to the lack of experience (in comparison to choices #2-4, or whatever the alternate list was).
Hang in there. It's a crappy feeling for sure.

Starting to feel very frustrated and discouraged after reading multiple posts in the clinical results recently about not hearing anything until applicants have reached out to the POI and asked about their status. I’m so tempted to take that step myself. This whole process is so cruel and excruciating. Kudos to all that have done this for multiple cycles, I am barely hanging on in my first! 

When you're patiently waiting on additional offers.............. so you can release an offer to someone who may be anxiously on a waitlist..................... This process is brutal and unfair af, to everyone involved honestly.

Does anyone know if anybody heard about acceptances from UNC Chapel Hill after interviews?

actually, it does for some people whether they here sooner or later; something with jobs, moving, housing contracts, families that may have to relocate, etc. I do know people who had to turn down offers because they arrived early April and there was no way to 'reorganize' their life again on time. Was almost in that position myself last year.

Yes, I have this happen all the time even though I don't like to talk about it. It was even worse when in one of my interviews I was told by multiple professors that they loved me and my personality and really wanted me to be accepted.... Just to get an email saying that I won't be extended an offer and most likely won't even in the future if people decline acceptance. It's really hard to stomach rejection especially when you have an interview somewhere and feel some grasp of success just to have it all taken away from you.

Every grad student, post doc, and faculty member has told me not to make any decisions until I've gone on all my interviews/visit weekends and have full funding offers but strangers on the internet talked to "experts" who think it's rude so I guess I have to pick now ?
It makes no difference if you get off the waitlist today or in 2 weeks or in 1 month. Calm down. 

Tried to upvote this but GradCafe won't let me add anymore reactions ?‍♀️
Happy to see you posting again ?
