I'm an IR waitlist from UVA -- have we had any acceptances here yet?

Seriously! I applied last cycle without knowing anything about the process, and got rejected from all 5 schools I applied to. This year, I did a lot more research, and kept my SoP's succinct and school-oriented. Even being waitlisted is just so exciting! Crazy that it went to my trash (didn't even go to junk, since I've been checking that religiously as well). So make sure to check every obscure folder you have in your inbox! Congrats!!!!!

SAME HERE!!!!! AHHHHHHHH check your junk/trash boxes people for UVA! (Does seem like the list is very long though)! One of the PoI's I listed said that as a member of the admissions committee, she and her colleagues wanted to put me on the wait list "and keep me in mind". Doesn't sound as promising as yours gradpumpkin, so be excited! She said they'll let us know within the next few weeks re: any updates as they become available.

Looks like someone also got an interview request for Vanderbilt, which isn't surprising given that this week they indicated they would reaching out to applicants. Good luck!

Question for the UVA waitlists -- did the status of your application change on your website? As an IR applicant I'm thinking I probably got a hard pass from the admissions committee, but what do I know. I know the saying is a watched pot never boils, but good god, the stupid pot is all I'm thinking about. JUST BOIL WATER!!!!!!!

Anyone else with that feeling of relief that you haven't gotten an email re: rejection for the day, but also a strong feeling of dread as well? Weird combination, lots of heart burn.

Hi All, Going to be another long time lurker, first time posting! I've been on gradcafe for the past year (I applied last cycle too), and finding this forum this year has honestly been my saving grace. It's nice to know I've got virtual friends out there freaking out the same way I am! I agree that this week (fingers crossed) we will all hopefully be getting good news! I saw in the past that UVA posted their admissions decisions around now, unless all of those are from trolls (also, who has time for that, go get a hobby, rather than making already anxious people 209348029384 times more anxious). Any thoughts/other applicants out there? Sending good vibes to all of you out there biting your fingernails, pacing, and googling area codes every 34 seconds. WE CAN DO THIS! The hardest part is over, we all got our apps in! Deep breathing everyone, we got this!
