SlumberingTrout Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Congrats to whomever received the FSU offer! That same offer is the one I'll likely be accepting. And thank you to everyone for your feedback re: when to accept! I wasn't sure if departments might not take kindly to an applicant waiting until the last few days to accept their offer. Incidentally, what on earth is going on with UC Riverside and UVA? I thought for sure I would have heard back from them from now.

shifgrethor Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Congrats to whoever got into NYU - the fact that it's their first acceptance tells you how easy it is for people to slip through the admissions cracks at other programs!

They know that it's a big decision for you and that such a thing takes time to consider. I would just be candid and should they write you asking for an update (which they do because they'll also be trying to secure their cohort for next year and because they'll be getting questions from their waitlisted students too), let them know that you're still considering their offer and are very grateful for the opportunity, but are waiting to hear back from another school you're waitlisted at before making your final decision. They'll understand. Congrats on a successful app cycle either way! SlumberingTrout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside is notorious for keeping silent until very late in this process—that is, for those not initially accepted. I was waitlisted last year, but didn't know about it until mid April.

I was waitlisted last year, but didn't know about it until mid April. I withdrew my application about a month ago, and the director of grad admissions responded to my email immediately with something to the effect of "well, just for the record, you were on our backup list." So yes, I think they have made decisions and would be more than willing to share your status with you if you contacted them.

Halcyon23 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 What is the deal with UConn anyway? Do they normally just trickle in notices like this? I too am ready to be finished off. Just let my academic dreams die, don't prolong it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostmyreason08 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just curious as to whether anyone has heard back Queen's University in Kingston, ON, specifically the M.A. program.
