I had the same thing happen. respond immediately, saying you'd like to be put on the wait list. you'll still be able to make a choice, assuming they eventually accept you.

looks like michigan has started notifying.

I got accepted to Catholic's PhD program through the post, no other contact.

The University of Florida hasn't made any decisions yet, they're still in the middle of their process.

question for the brave people who have called- how exactly did you word yourself? I want to call a couple of my programs, but I don't want to seem rude.

anybody have info on Ohio State? I'm very tempted to call, but trying to resist the urge.

accepted, but no funding. so it's an ego-boost, but doesn't really relieve any stress.

ugh, so now that's three of mine (Harvard, Ohio State, Chicago) that have started notifying, but that I haven't heard from....at what point am I allowed to cry?

if a few people who were accepted at UIUC would please decline, I would really appreciate it my sense of humor is going to get me through the next few weeks.

I've discovered that it's actually possible to be a US citizen, but not qualify for in-state tuition in any state. Four years ago I moved to Louisiana from Massachusetts to attend school. At about the same time, I had to switch my driver's license, voter registration, etc. to Louisiana because my parents moved out of Massachusetts and I no longer had an address there. Now I've applied to LSU for my PhD, and been told I likely don't qualify for in-state tuition because I've been enrolled in school the entire time I've lived here- I'm going to have to file an appeal, and that will probably fail. On a whim, I e-mailed UMass Amherst to see if I'd qualify for in-state tuition in Massachusetts (I didn't apply there, but I was curious). Turns out I wouldn't qualify there either, because as far as Massachusetts is concerned, I've been a resident of Louisiana for the past four years. The word I have right now for this situation is LAME. If I end up at LSU (which is my fall-back school) and have to pay them out of state fees, I'll be using a much harsher word.
