Does anyone know the logic of a school who has a "priority" deadline and a last-call deadline? If I submitted two months after the first deadline, but one month before the last deadline, are my chances shot? I'm referring to Butler, but any info would be helpful on what the rolling admission process looks like. Now that I've been rejected from so many places, I'm considering sending to schools with rolling admission, but if they all have already established cohorts, what is the point? Am I missing something?

Thank you so much. That is so good to know and I'm so thankful for clarity. I wish I had found this forum 7 months ago This is amazing.

Yes! I have only one school as an option and I got waitlisted and have been in months of torturous silence. You are not alone. And I got an email with almost the exact same phrasing as "you are not someone we want to say no to"

Hi!! So I'm waiting to hear back from Notre Dame, Butler and Miami of Ohio. I've gotten no email from all 3. I've never done this whole grad school thing before. Is this normal?? Should I be worried? I got waitlisted at Western Michigan University, but I got an email. Should I take no email as a rejection? I got rejected from Boston U, UIUC, and Ohio State, but they all sent emails... I'm so scared and I check my email everyday. And I'm just a undergrad finishing senior year and trying to plan what to do with my life next year. Can anyone give me some guidance?
