It definitely sounds like a rejection but couldn't they let us know?

First of all I'm curious. Second of all, I assume things might still change until June, because I heard that York still has a waitlist after me. I only accepted York because it is the only acceptance I currently have and I didn't wanna pass the deadline while waiting for Duke.

Any waitlists who heard back from Duke?

Officially committed to York University, Canada.

I guess I'd find it extremely sincere. If couple of people are gonna see each other all through the years and be a part of the same community, I think I'd be nice to be welcomed by the other parts.

chrisscoff, I guess it's one of the elements but it really depends on the school.For example I heard that faculty at Cornell really cares about extra curricular activities (but I was still rejected). I have a cv full of various extra curricular activities and it didn't get me far. I don't know if this is because they mean nothing to the committees or it's just because of the other things I lack.

Apart from all the other points, no funding doesn't mean you were not good enough. It means that most of the schools run on a strict budget, the world economy is in a general state of crisis and especially international applicants cost more. You're soo wrong while you make assumptions about people's merits by simply taking their acceptance (or non-acceptance, for that matter) status. One of my friends was rejected by all the middle rank schools she applied (7 ones, and the only one she was accepted was without funding) and got accepted only to Yale. What would you say about that?

I'm waitlisted too, at Boston University and Duke.

anyone rejecting duke?

I think not many people are sure about the school they should pick

Who can claim the international acceptance?

I'm waitlisted for sure. I think I'm going crazy while waiting!

Agreed. As I said above, I got waitlisted just today. I received an e-mail saying that there's been a decision on my application and I should go check it out on the website. You could have been waitlisted or soon to be rejected. I'm looking forward to hear from them for sure!

I got waitlisted today.
