So...are there schools that have waitlists and don't tell anyone about it? I applied to 8 schools for a philosophy Ph.D. and have been rejected from all but one of them. Thing is, the last school I heard from was almost a month ago, and the school I'm waiting to hear back from, Boston U, has only told me recently that they have not yet made a decision. Could I be on a waitlist but they don't want to tell me for some reason? Or do they just reject people all at once really late? I'm clueless here....
