  1. Dear everyone. I apologize for bringing this up again. But the deadline is approaching, and I've been on the waitlist for about a month. I would appreciate your prompt refusal if you have a better offer. Thank you once again. 🤗💚
  2. I wish you all a nice week and hope we all have good news in the next few days. I'll put this here again, just as a reminder. Thanks.
  3. I would guess so. For instance, they might have a ranked waitlist, and those people probably are in the top places on the aforementioned ranked list. But, again, I'm just guessing.
  4. As you mentioned, it depends on multiple factors. Still, according to my own experience on a previous cycle, the two main factors are (1) the number of people who decline their offers on time and (2) how populated the waitlist is. In my experience, the timing of when offers are declined can significantly impact movement on the waitlist. The first point was debated here in late January; however, a few years ago, a university waitlisted me, and I was in touch with one of the people admitted to my subfield. This person declined his offer on Wednesday, and then I was offered a place on Thursday. I want to underscore that this OBVIOUSLY is not the same procedure at every school; I'm just sharing my experience. It's important to keep in mind that waitlist movement can vary greatly depending on the institution and its specific policies. Additionally, factors such as program size and applicant pool can also play a significant role in how quickly spots open up for waitlisted candidates. On the second point, if the waitlist is short, you are likely to be admitted. However, if the waitlist is long and highly competitive, your chances of being admitted may be lower. It's always a good idea to stay in contact with the admissions office and express continued interest in the program.
  5. Claiming Syracuse rejection. It feels like mid February. 🫠
  6. Thanks, man. At this point I'm just waiting for Colorado 🤞
  7. Calming Pitt rejection. They didn't even type my name in the letter, they wrote "dear applicant" 😭💀
  8. Does anyone have any idea (or a theory) on what is going on with Rutgers and Pitt?
  9. I believe you, and I also believe Georgetown. I just find it weird and interesting that we really don't know how anything works, lol.
  10. I just remember that, like a month ago or so, someone said that they only admitted two people for Comparative Politics this season, and in retrospect, it was rather weird considering this new information. However, on the other hand, Georgetown historically has retained the rejections till late March. At this point who tf knows. I just want to get admitted and this cycle to be over. 🫠
  11. Whoever got "informally" waitlisted by Rutgers, do you mind elaborating, please?
  12. You are the GOAT 🐐 Good luck on everything you do.
  13. If they only informed you that you were accepted, they will send you an official offer/contract later, and the funding should be there. But also you could ask.
  14. Dear everyone, I don't want to be that person (again), lol, but please, please, please, please, if you consider that you have a better option or if you already decided that you won't attend CU Boulder and have not notified the department, please do it. I'm frustrated that one of my top choices is the only school that did not reject me. Still, I also hate being in this position of begging after all this long and winding road of preparing to apply, applying, and getting rejection after rejection. I wish you all the luck, and thank you in advance.
  15. To my understanding, it is exactly the same. And, to be completely honest, it was a bit of a tedious thing to decipher this in order to decide whether to apply or not (I was rejected by all three, by the way, lmao).
  16. Yes, I would email the DGS and the professors who emailed you (and your POI, if it is not the same person). About the ones that you met, I don't think it is absolutely necessary unless you feel comfortable with it.
  17. That's super nice. I really hope everyone is on the same page. It is not about putting pressure or pushing anyone to decide on what they are not ready to; just the general recommendation is to inform the decision as soon as they are ready... not letting it to the last minute, or even worse, don't respond to an offer at all, since there are a lot of people waiting. Good luck on your visit days!!!
  18. That's why when you are 100% sure you are not attending a certain school, it is crucial to inform the Department in question ASAP because if you don't actively reject an offer, the Department might be unable to move things on the waitlist and prepare new offers. When April 15th comes, everything is over; the admission cycle officially ends.
  19. Yes, not responding by April 15th normally is taken as if you are rejecting their offer.
  20. I get your point, and it's also valid pov. 😌
