Also I want to ask a general question to people who are waitlisted: are you all waitlisted for funding, or waitlisted for admission (if such thing exists)? Because if it's the first case then I'll still have a bit of hope left from my other applications 

I'm not sure. I really hope it's for both, as I have no way of attending without funding.

Hey guys,

 

So I got waitlisted at my top choice and one of my recommenders, a veteran prof. at a competitive department, asked if I had reached out to the program yet. He then said it shouldn't hurt to email the DGS, mention how excited I am about the possibility of attending and ask when final decisions will be made. I'm a little worried about doing this because I don't want to seem like I'm putting pressure on them, and, to complicate matters, the DGS is also the prof. I would want to work with in the first place. Would this be too awkward? Have any of the wailisted people here reached out to their respective departments?

 

Thanks in advance!
