I'm wondering as well. They SHOULD provide updates as soon as possible. Just know you aren't alone. One more week - then we can reach out. Also - this is helpful: https://cudcp.wildapricot.org/Resources/Documents/CUDCP Policy on Graduate Program Offers and Acceptances (FULL version).pdf

I appreciate this so much!!! I am about to be 30 and yes - I feel like I'm running on a hamster wheel

Yeah - that's where I'm at....It's been since February 22nd and all I know is one person is holding the offer and I am the top alternate. I've been trying to assume the worst - I won't get it, but there is that little pilot light still holding out!

Also ~ about the age question - I'm about to be 30 in April and it's looking like I'll be applying for another round lol

I am wondering if anyone here is holding on to an offer for UNLV? Probably none of my business and I should be patient, but I guess I am just curious

@MCTSE - I agree. It is so confusing and tough to feel like we are in limbo. I've come to the conclusion that I should be patient - but it would be awesome to have a better understanding of how these things work. *ACTIVATE MIND READING SUPER POWER*

To clarify - I DID attend an interview

Does anyone know how being an alternate works? Does this mean that the individual who was first choice has not yet accepted? OR do they still have you as an alternate even if the offer was accepted - and they are just waiting in case the person changes their mind? ORRR am I just on a general alternate list - so it's not specific to a given lab, but more about the amount of openings in the program? I'm too nervous to ask the PI/Director :/
