I was going to reach out to the CP contact pretty soon, and I'll definitely ask about the visit day as well. I'll report back if I find out anything of interest for our cluster of UVA wait-lists.

I am too. Didn't get info about their virtual visit day, which isn't a great sign about my place on the list haha. That's also why I asked. I remember seeing a huge influx of wait-lists and then no acceptances in the next few days.

Question regarding older admissions news. Did anyone ever claim a UVA admit?

+1 Looks like I can put this cycle to bed...

In the US (specifically my undergrad city) there are lots of companies that are looking for "Government Affairs" Interns/Associates (many paid) to basically help them with policy research, write-ups, and assist in communications with policymakers. Not necessarily long-term, but definitely good if you need an in-between. Good for some networking too.

Yeah, I would say it's a bit early to determine if GRE mattered more or less this year. I haven't really noticed a pattern. I'll be curious to see what the grad/undergrad acceptance data are.

Breaking my lurk again. CP and radio silence from both Vandy and Michigan.

Hey, I've been lurking here a bunch and just wanted to say I really appreciate this thread. I've cycled between feeling like trash about rejections and feeling hopeful for the next batch of decisions; seeing a bunch of other people going through the same kinda stuff and offering consolation or insights to one another has helped my mood a lot. Knowing this community of talented and genuinely kind people is out there makes me feel way more secure about what I'd be getting into by going for a PhD. This waiting game sucks ass, but you guys are gems. That's all.
