Just got waitlisted at William & Mary, sincerely hoping that works out! Anybody have any tips on my likelihood of getting off of the waitlist?

I am hoping that Yale will post updates to the portal soon, one way or another. Also hoping that Princeton and Georgetown will be releasing their results soon. This is such a struggle.

Does anyone know if the acceptances have gone out from Yale for American already? ☹️
Congrats to those who got acceptances! So exciting.

Where were you accepted? Congrats on the offers!!!
The University of Edinburgh and Florida State University. I'm incredibly excited about both, though still anxious to hear about funding. Thank you!

Hi everyone! My first real post here, though I've been a longtime stalker of this thread.
I do Irish history (in the U.S.) with a concentration on migration and Irish America. I'm finishing up my MA with a 3.96 GPA. I've been a TA for two years, and have 4 years of experience as a research assistant. For what it's worth, I also have 2 conferences on the ole CV. I feel pretty confident in my writing sample and LoR.
I applied to 10 schools, and I've heard back from 2. Both were acceptances, with funding TBD.
I'm really struggling with anxiety as I await news on the remaining 8 schools and the funding. I'm a FGLI student, and the imposter syndrome has reared its ugly head again. I compulsively check my email even though I have so much that I should be working on instead. I can't get over this nervous feeling that I won't get any decent acceptances with funding.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! ?

Not unsolicited! And very helpful. I think it is always good to remember that there are things I have control over, even if the current circumstances are less than ideal. I've been trying to speak with historians who have taken non-traditional paths after their PhDs, many have given similar advice.
Also, it's probably not worth stressing over before I've ever submitted. My advisors wouldn't have suggested I apply to these programs if they truly thought I had no real chance, so there's always that.
If anyone had time for a last minute read of my SOP, I would be very grateful, but It's not a big deal one way or another.
I’m not sure if this is inappropriate to ask, but do you have a Twitter? Your work sounds really interesting!

I got off the William & Mary waitlist today. Best of luck to you with the Harvard waitlist, and to all of the waitlisted folks out there! ?
