Is getting waitlisted a common thing? Like they're just telling everyone they are waitlisted, or does a selected group of people get waitlisted?
I just received my waitlist email today at 1 in the afternoon, content below. Dear [t.tv]:
Thank you for your application to the graduate program in Media Arts and Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for Fall 2021. After careful consideration, you have been added to our waitlist.
As spots become available, we will revisit the waitlist and inform you of a decision by May 7th. The waitlist is not ranked, so we are unable to provide further information about your place on the list at this time.
We will provide you with more information as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and flexibility.
