Thank you!! This makes me feel a whole lot better  one of my friends was waitlisted at FIVE programs during her cycle, no acceptances, and she got off of four of those waitlists! So never give up until the very end, people.

Thank you so much for this, I have really been struggling the last few days and have been feeling really defeated and self-conscious (from grad apps but also other reasons) and this post made me cry happy tears. I remember my family lost power randomly on Thanksgiving and my mom was so upset because of all the food she had cooking/needed to be cooked and I just started laughing hysterically, because it really does seem like the universe really is laughing in our faces, especially in the last few months! It's really hard to be part of this process and so your words mean a lot to me.

Hi everyone! Here's another lurker that after being placed on waitlist by her top choice university thought it was a good idea to come here to bond over our shared suffering ? It's going to be something else, this March.
I got a message from Temple University today and it turns out I have been accepted, but without funding. I wonder if there's any other person in my situation around here or if someone intends to decline an offer from them. Best of luck for your out there who are still hoping for the best! ?

Hang in there! In my cycle, I got into my top choice off the waitlist. ? These things happen! 

YALL! I got into my dream program at UVA!!! I can’t believe I did it!!!!
i got the email while I was at my nanny job and started crying and shaking. I told my child I was happy because I was going to be a teacher and she hugged me said “I hope you will be mine next year!” Cue more tears. 
 
I can’t believe this is real!!!

I'm sending everyone good vibes - I just had an amazing phone call with the DGS at the Minnesota Writing Studies program who offered me admission! I was staring down a shut out, pending waitlist movement, but now I got into my top program. It's possible, y'all! Every single person here is a great academic and can make it happen!

I was at my personal training session today and was *sucking wind*. My trainer asked me if I've been stressed or have had a rough few days.
Me: *remembering last night I ugly cried to my boyfriend for over an hour about how stressed I was about hearing back from Notre Dame and getting off of waitlists and that I can't plan anything right now until I know which is driving me crazy* Also me: "hmm.. no I can't think of anything that would be doing this"

Thank you! I hope the best for you, too! Agree, waitlists are a special sort of torture but you never know what could happen

@arrowseekersaaaame. So stressful. I really think some of these waitlists would be acceptances for us if it were a different year. I feel your pain!
@cassidyaxxI’m in at UConn but am leaning against. I really hope it opens up a spot for you if I turn them down!

Hi everyone! As you can probably see, I'm currently waitlisted at BC and UConn, and hoping to at least be waitlisted at Notre Dame. My top choice is Notre Dame followed closely by BC (both have been my absolute dream programs for years) I primarily do 20th century Irish lit and identity studies. I do like (or hope) to think that there's a chance for a lot of us! Many people get accepted to more than one program but can only choose one, obviously, which ends up normally creating at least some movement.

Hello everyone! I am a long time lurker and first time poster to the forum. I decided to create a profile and join in on the discussion because there seems to be an influx of waitlisted applicants this season, myself included. I applied to Northeastern's PhD program in English, but was placed on the waitlist, which has been rather difficult to accept since this program is my first and only choice. The purgatory comparison is accurate, ha ha.
It is nice to meet you all! ?

Also, would anyone be interested in a waitlist/movement thread? I don't remember if they had one last cycle but there was one for the 2019 cycle and I found it pretty helpful for those of us who are largely waitlisted well, everywhere lol

I’d be interested in a waitlist thread! I have some offers but am waitlisted at 4 places including my top choice (uhg)

I am sure UT Austin is releasing decisions today. How do i know?!?!? I was searching for a wifi psw, and saw this......any else sees the UTa in the middle....
