Yep! I've got the visa!!! Well, not in my hands yet, they will deliver the passport in about two days.
A consulate officer talked with me exactly one minute!!!

just got this email.

"You are currently on the waitlist if you have not been contacted by our program. Depending on the response from those that have received offers, we will move further along to offer admission to those on the waitlist. I do not have specific time lines. Hope that helps."

no, no it does not.

I've been speaking with a prof whom I'm close with and she really urged me to be pushy. Unless they have told you to wait for a specific date- go above program admins and email/call the director/POI. its freakin may.

they're not going to reject you because you want to get in (and want to know/hear about it). Don't be afraid It's your future.

I' m not one of your professors, so drop the officious, hand-wringing crap. I expect honesty from you people, how dare you demand some greater degree of honesty or transparency (I don't know what the hell you want.....) when you have no critique..nothing....just that you're uncomfortable. So go google a lullaby and go to sleep.

maybe you can finance it with your trust fund, and your wit.
