Hi! So, I was informed I was being high up on a waitlist on the 10th of Feb but I just missed the email. Since then, I have replied and I phone the department. They were understanding and said they will keep in touch in the event that a space opens up. I haven't seen any new updates on gradcafe for this department, so I think they are genuinely trying to figure out what they can afford before they make final decisions. I'm still keeping my hopes up for this one! Did you get any more offers in the meantime?

Guys, please, realistically, what are my chances? I received a very nice email from Pittsburgh on the 10th of February, but I didn't see it until today. Turns out it was waiting for me in the spam. They said they'd love to have me in the department but they are waiting to hear about funding and they said I've been waitlisted. I've been radio silent because I thought I didn't receive any emails. I replied now reinstating my commitment to the department and my interest in pursuing PhD at Pittsburgh. I'm not getting in, am I? 😫

We're in the same boat! Also got rejected from them, did you get a generic rejection or did they mention anything about applying for the next year/encouraging you to apply? Which one are you waiting to hear from? I'm waiting for 2 more but apparently UNM doesn't provide great funding, so if I do get in somehow, I don't know how I'd be able to pay for it.

They're taking longer than usually because of funding issues. They probably have fewer spaces than what they hoped for at first. They'll be going back and forth on certain applicants until everyone is in agreement. Also, they're waiting for people to decline offers, so they can extend offers to other students who are their maybes.

It's because people have until 15th of April to accept or decline offers. If let's say 5 of them decline, that's 5 more spaces to fill, so they will send an acceptance letter to 5 more candidates who weren't their first choice but are qualified enough to be admitted. You will never receive an immediate rejection if there's even a slight chance that you might get in.
