For everyone who is claiming a UMD waitlist--are you all IR/Comparative?

I only saw one admit for UMD on Valentine's Day (also IR/Comparative I think). But surely they must admit more than one? /It stands to reason that they would already know who is admitted if they are sending out waitlists (or would have already sent out acceptances).

CP here. I hadn’t seen the Valentine’s Day acceptance, and thought the UMD waitlist was a little out of the blue. I suppose that puts it a little bit more into context. Also, super surprised that I haven’t heard to schools I applied to in December, yet have already heard from UMD which was January! The PhD process remains a mystery…

Lemme just say if you get into UMD and don’t want to go, please let them know soon so those of us who’d like to go there can find out our fate sooner lol

Has anyone heard from Wisconsin-Madison? I think they usually send out interviews by the second week of Jan (at least for the past 3 years), but no one on this forum has claimed an interview this year.

Also wondering this, haven’t seen/heard anything and was expecting to at least see someone post about an interview with Madison

Thanks! I think the cycle in this year is slower than the last year.

Does anyone know how this year compares to last year in regards to applicant numbers and cohort sizes? Things were a bloodbath last year and pushed me into an MA program in Europe (which is great don’t get me wrong, just not what I was planning)
