I feel like you especially deserve this b/c you are so good about declining and this is good waitlist karma!!! Does it knock out any other choices for you?? I wonder if you get off the waitlist this early if you can visit/do you have time to visit? havemybloodchild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can visit, though I am not sure if I can make it work with my job. I have given myself until Friday to make a final decision, so will definitely say more definitively what I’m doing then!

Tpc123 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hey Folx, I haven't seen anyone mention if they are turning down UC Davis. Looking to see the likelihood of getting off the wait list here. Thanks! Tp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassidyaxx Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have a question for waitlisters. Did any of you that were accepted off the waitlist have trouble communicating with the program but still were accepted? I went to the BU visit and it was great. It seemed that a lot of the waitlisted students were able to talk to their POI's beforehand or something of the sort. I, however, never seem to get any responses. I've emailed a few different people about my interests and not so much as an acknowledgement. Could they perhaps be busy? Am I overthinking? Or should I expect that due to this lack of communication, I probably won't be pulled off the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeThing Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) I just realized the 15th is a Monday. This means the expected top movement days will be on a weekend so who knows if offers will circulate quickly. I would really just like some closure at this point.

dilby Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just formally declined my waitlist spot at Rice — I am 99% sure that this is going to cause some movement, if someone out there is waiting. rr732 and mandelbulb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphilanthus Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 anyone else feeling at least a little nauseous at all times as we enter the last week of waiting here? if not, that’s cool, I’m nauseous enough for all of us! it’s gonna be a loooong week (for the UVA waitlist crew: I heard movement is expected “early” this week, fwiw) dreampigeon, Musmatatus, dilby and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adornianjazz Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just received an offer off the waitlist from Johns Hopkins! Time for the difficult deliberations that some part of me wished would never be necessary. Still, not complaining; I feel unbelievably fortunate to have this choice that needs making. arbie, dreampigeon, writeshere and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, thank you! I actually visited back at the end of February (not the official visit; threw together an unofficial one, just in case this exact thing happened), and based on the faculty and students I met, the campus, the city, the funding, and so on, I think that they are currently my top choice. But it's a pretty close tie, especially with UVA and NYU, so if I get off either of those waitlists, well, who knows? Musmatatus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the fact that they told me it's unranked, I'd venture the longlist. I don't think removing myself will be much help to you, but I hope some good news will come your way soon!

Just asked for an update and hopefully will have by end of week. The waitlist is organized by interest, so if someone with your interests declines, there could be movement. Good luck xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
