Talk to the DGS. I was in a similar situation. The departments I was interested in said as late as 11:59pm was fine and, if things were still unsure, there could be a conversation; I imagine this could vary by department (not the April 15 deadline, but the exact time or any leniency). In my experience, they get these questions frequently and are very swift at replying.

Has anyone declined an offer from JHU, knows someone who has, or plans to in the next two days?

JHU and Georgetown have cancelled

Typically, when do we start to see movement on waitlists?

Thank you! They certainly have funding, they offer 5-6 assistantships a year. I don't know what they're playing at. I wonder if they are waiting for a self-selecting outcome. As in, how many people accept other offers and who sticks around. It is painful.

Does anyone have any insight about movement on a funding waitlist? I've been admitted to Georgetown (one of my top choices, a very good fit for my aoi) but waitlisted for funding. I've only heard of one funded offer from them, this cycle. I understand that my offer, as it stands, is basically another version of a waitlist, but I'm pretty anxious to know more about how this works if only to get some sense of the odds that I may end up with a funded offer there. Or just some data, if anyone has it.

Waitlisted at University of Washington, Seattle

*dramatically awaits any news from MIT*

I just got an acceptance from Western U

I don't know how "hard" acceptance to UBC MA is or what you, personally, need to feel like you have accomplished something (whether thats a non-rejection from a competitive program or something else) but...you have accomplished something. You've continued through this godforsaken wasteland of a process despite academic, emotional, financial (et cetera) challenges. Feel good about that! And best of luck.

Me!
