We just had someone visit yesterday, and the other 2 people with offers are visiting next week. I would expect waitlister-s to hear something within the next 2 weeks as these 3 people make their decisions!
We are in the middle of having people visit who have had offers extended to them, so a lot is up in the air as they make their decisions. The faculty may only notify waitlisted applicants who were further down the list once the top of the list is exhausted (no point in telling you you're on the waitlist if you're 20th on the list!). That's my best guess. Good luck!
Those of you waiting to hear from DePaul--I am a current first year. They have only started looking at apps; don't plan on hearing one way or another until closer to the end of February/beginning of March.
Thank you!! I was also accepted into Wayne State's MA and Elmhurst's MA programs. I was on a "short list" at UConn's PhD program so I sent them all my declining e-mail yesterday. Hope this helps!
That's awesome that you're an international student! Yes, the sort of "universal" deadline for all graduate school admissions is April 15th. I don't think it's impolite to ask them about your application at this point. With just a couple of weeks left there is a lot on the line for many people and if you can find out sooner rather than later I think that contacting someone in the program is completely appropriate
And congrats michelle15!
It doesn't seem like a very unsafe place. Here's a website that has crime stats:

I know! It's been hard to be understanding when it's your future on the line...but nonetheless they let me know last week I'm on their "short list"! A month seems like a long time to go without hearing anything...especially since April 15th is coming up so quickly. I would definitely e-mail your contact person about what the deal is.
I applied to their I/O Psychology PhD program and it's been taking that department forever to get back to people as well. I just found out last week about my wait listed status. Not sure if that necessarily means the entire school has been slower but I know they've had a record number of apps this season [at least for my program].
