Similar discussions have gone on elsewhere, but I thought I'd open it up to a particular thread. Comment on each.

Let's hear what people have to say about neighborhoods, cost of living, night life, and other things I won't have time to do as a grad student.

If that's the case, then 4 unofficial waitlists and 1 official waitlist. It still is very lame.

I have been waitlisted, unofficially, at 5 schools. I figure I am in line to be accepted to at least one of the programs, but I really have no idea of the likelihood of being accepted at any one of these schools. Does anyone have any insight into this--perhaps a prediction? EDIT: Also, I really don't understand why some schools haven't been more forthright about this. I have had to call every school to get my status. Most all schools tell me that I will hear more "in mid-march" or "later this month." Why can't these schools at least notify me of the "waitlist" status? Is it because I am actually in the "second wave" of accepts/rejects?

Not sure you ever posted: interests? Stats?

I put in an app. I think admits will hear today or, more likely, next week.

You are a brave soul. I guess that is good. Thanks for the info!

Who wants to be brave enough to call and ask about decisions status at Chicago and/or Texas? Any takers?

In the screen where it its displays two links (credentials and application), there should be something (not a hyperlink) that says "application status." That is my best guess.

I called the department earlier in the week. I was told decisions had been made and should would go out this week. I cannot say whether the past was a fake because I did not post it; i hope it was a fake. My guess is that more people would hear from UofC than one person. That is, I think it notifies all of its admits in one day and leaves everyone else to languish in silence.

As was posted earlier: All decisions at Chicago have been made (a la UTexas) and should be going out this week.

I'm not really sure how the waitlisting process works at Michigan. I would assume it is different at every school. Some schools may send acceptances in waves, essentially creating a de facto waitlist. Judging from the archives, it looks like UM does not do this; it usually sends out a notice. Maybe you will get a notice in the mail or via email. Good luck.

You have most likely been denied, though you may be waitlisted. Michigan has already made its decisions.

It is possible . . . and highly recommended.
