Hi everyone, received an offer for an MPhil at Oxford along with full funding from Nuffield College. That's that for this cycle for me, and I will be accepting the Oxford offer unless one of my PhD waitlists works out. Its been good, and thank you for being such a supportive community!

Yep. I'm on the waitlist.

Is anyone with an offer at NYU or MIT not going to accept? Would really appreciate it if folks declined the offer ASAP if they're not going to go.

If you're CP then bless you.

Just out of curiosity, since two of your acceptances are places I'm waitlisted at and we're the same subfield: where did you choose to go in the end?

I got a similar email. So confused about what this means haha.

Has anyone heard anything from NYU about their waitlists?

What schools are you considering, if I may ask?

Hey, sorry that it hasn't worked out for you this year, but I do think if you were able to convince a POI to want you admitted, you have a good shot in future years too. I received the email exactly 1 hour ago.

Yes, I was, about 30 minutes ago. Not in the US. I didn't really have time to apply to more than 5 places this year, because I was juggling being an undergraduate amidst a pandemic haha. I do have backup options though, and will try again next year having learned from this process and worked a little longer on my applications. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear back and everyone trying again next year!

Claiming a Waitlist at MIT. That's 3/5 Waitlists, at NYU, Princeton and MIT, and no acceptances. So close, yet so far...

NYU has sent out their waitlists already.

What makes you think it'll be a small cohort?

Haven't heard anything from Chicago? Checked my portal. Nothing there.

This is definitely trolls. Id believe that no one who frequents this thread got an acceptance, but no one getting a rejection either is just weird.
