punctilious Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 The DGS just let husband know that he’s on the “unofficial waitlist” for Brown. Her email was very kind, and it’s good to finally know! LibraryLivingJT 1

TralfamadoreTour Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Wait listed at Tennessee and it’s my #1 choice.
ashley623 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 I've been accepted to Louisville and "top 10" waitlisted for funding, am #4 on the fully-funded waitlist at Oklahoma, and accepted to Tennessee but on the non-ranked waitlist for funding. Does anyone know what the likelihood is of actually coming off of the waitlist? Louisville and Oklahoma but stated that often times, waitlisted candidates were ultimately given funding, but this is a bit stressful.

I’m #4 on Wayne state’s waitlist for funding and was told I “should remain optimistic.” So, I’m right there with you. Good luck!! Edited March 3, 2018 by Personal Helicon ashley623 1

Unlike some of the other waitlists I have received, the email was very brief. It didn't include information about whether or not funding was a possibility, and it didn't provide any information about what my chances were of receiving an offer. I was notified by email on March 1. Hope this helps! They made offers to less than 10% of applicants this year. clinamen 1

That's odd (and frustrating I would imagine) that they didn't offer much information. Regardless, congrats on the waitlist spot! Seattle is seriously the best city ever! E. Coronaria 1
clinamen Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Waitlisted at UW!!! I'm so thrilled! I definitely thought I'd been rejected as they seemed to notify everyone last week! Going back to Seattle is an absolute dream for me! punctilious and LibraryLivingJT 1 1

No, the email didn't offer specifics about my place on the waitlist or how it works -- so I responded asking about it. I'm really hoping to get some info as I'm going into visits this month and they are definitely a top pick for me!
