Thanks for the reply. I am just seeing this now for i haven't come on the platform for some time. It was not the only school i applied, i applied to about 5 which i was admitted by 1, waitlisted by another( Notre Dame) and rejected by others. This said school i am talking about is Uni of Notre Dame that waitlisted me(My most preferred). For the POI, I contacted him immediately to show continued interest after asking if i am still interested in the program around May. There was no reply so i sent a reminder 2 days later and still no reply since May.
I just emailed the graduate school inquiring of my status and if my application can be considered for Spring, the graduate school replied saying I should contact the Department if they will accept spring application if not they can make my application for fall 2021. Thanks
