Ciccada123-- I was told by a current CUNY Phd student that the new class would end up around 40 people, but that there would be more offers because a significant number of admits decline. I suspect some people are waiting to hear about all their apps before making a final decision. I wouldn't worry about calling in to check; that sounds reasonable. And I wouldn't think of it as a waiting list. It sounds like CUNY thinks you are a great candidate, and you have an excellent chance as soon as some of the smoke clears in a week or two. -- Sean
