Ok, we're at April 10th and I was told that one program I was waitlisted for has admitted the students who accepted and no longer can admit anyone off the waitlist. But I'm still on the waitlist at my very top choice... I heard from one professor that he doesn't think either applicant that was admitted has responded, and that he assumes they must have other attractive offers and are having a hard time deciding. He said "perhaps that's good news" in reference to the possibility that I could still get in.. Is that likely? or is it likely that they also are waiting to see if they got in off a different waitlist? I mean, this is a VERY good program, so it's hard to imagine that people wouldn't just accept outright by now if they had not gotten in anywhere else super super good that they were trying to decide about... Should I be hopeful? I got into the MA program I'm in now via the waitlist, I was notified on April 17th. So...is this hopeful? What does it usually mean when you are in the top of the waitlist and they still haven't rejected you by now?

HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM NYU?????? Why is this so late? I keep thinking maybe I'm waitlisted or rejected, but I dont think anyone has heard. Is this just because the deadline was so much later for this program???

I'm in the ethno track, so maybe they're not connected at all? I'm 1st on the ethno track at Duke, but who knows :-/. I'm also waitlisted at another place which is my first choice...and still waiting to hear back from NYU.

Duke does do interviews, at least in the ethno track, bc I did one and I was waitlisted there right at the end of January...still waiting to hear. Also very stressed like everyone because I am waiting on several programs and not sure if I'm about to be waitlisted for literally everything and be in limbo for so long
