I’m still on it as well! Just asked for an update and hopefully will have by end of week. The waitlist is organized by interest, so if someone with your interests declines, there could be movement. Good luck xx

Good for you and congrats on UPenn! Can I ask your research interests?

If I were in this situation, I’d let school c know that I have another offer but am still more interested in their program. (If you haven’t done this already). Maybe something to mention when you reach out to ask if you could talk to students/ faculty to get a feel for the program? Good luck!! If anything, you love the program you have funding for so you’re in a pretty good position!

@alexisnj I think you’re still in the game until you’re rejected! Maybe you’re on an internal waitlist?

Was in a similar situation! The school I loved during application season has been so unresponsive (I’m waitlisted too) compared to other schools I’m waitlisted at that it’s made me question if I want to go. The other schools have welcomed, questions, calls, and visits, which have been so helpful and made me feel so welcome. Like one school said, it’s really a reflection of their department and how they operate if they aren’t responsive. How it starts is how it ends. Personally, I’m still trying to get in touch with mine bc is actually like to learn a bit about the dept.. but I also feel like maybe I’ve learned everything I need by this silence. Maybe reach out again and ask something specific? Good luck!

I did this at one school and felt it would’ve felt rude to try to participate. Also, at least in my situation, I hadn’t done the reading, so it would’ve been silly for me to slow the class down by asking questions. The prof gave me the book to read while the students broke out into groups, which was nice and we chatted for a min after. I think if they’re ok with you participating, they’ll tell you. Otherwise, default should be just to listen imo.

Thanks for the info on suny! I’ve been wanting to reach out but not sure if it was too soon. PS congrats on your acceptance!

Has anyone heard from SUNY Albany yet?

YES CONGRATS! I was hoping it was you when I saw it on the results page ?

Idk last year on the board it looks like acceptances at umd went out around now with waitlists and rejects first. There may be hope still!

I’m waitlisted at umd, got an email end of Jan. I don’t think they’ve sent out acceptances though (according to the board)! Someone correct me if I’m wrong though! I wouldn’t count it a IR at this pt though!

Go back a couple pages to page 98– @trytostay linked to a thorough list of questions from another board!!

My sense is that booties/boots with a dress is fine! My biggest tip is to still feel like yourself while dressing biz/cas. I had a few interviews right out of undergrad that I felt so awful in what I wore and a friend who said they wouldn’t wear boots to an interview... honestly it doesn’t matter. I wore booties with a skirt and sweater and got the job. All this to say.. don’t overthink it, be comfortable, don’t totally sacrifice your sense of personality, but better to be a touch overdressed than underdressed.

THANK YOU FOR LINKING! What a hero. Was gonna spend my morning searching for this as well!

Ah fingers crossed for us!!

Has anyone gotten word on funding from temple? I’m hoping to hear this week but am feeling paranoid that funding offers have gone out already...

@sugilite haha! I’ve been getting a spam call at least once a day, from all different area codes about my “Apple device” and they may just kill me.

i feel this! waitlisted at the school i applied to first. like... do you guys wanna see my ~final~ application now?!

Ugh I was a rejection just an email to check portal. Maybe they send out acceptances all at once after they interview? Seems like there is hope for you at least!

Has anyone gotten funding info from temple? I was told end of the month so there’s still time, but just wondering if anyone has heard back already?

ah thank you! like it makes total sense to... i just have second guessed EVERYTHING during this process every step of the way, lol!

i thought i read somewhere on here that it's normal (maybe even encouraged?) to ask to be connected to current students where you've been accepted/waitlisted. i'm in touch with the DGS--is he the one to ask to connect me??

Congrats @snorkles!!

Thank you both! That was what I ~thought~ was the case, but i've gotten a couple automated emails prompting me to a pay a deposit to "hold my seat" and I got nervous!

is there a due date to pay a deposit by, or does it differ for different schools? i'm hesitant to pay a deposit when i haven't heard back from all schools yet... does anyone know more about this?
