As I understand it, they had two tiers on the waitlist, those interviewed and those not interviewed. Arendtlover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL16 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Although I withdrew my application a few days ago, I received an email saying I was waitlisted at UNC. I asked to remove myself from the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stencil Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If this information is helpful to anyone: I've already declined MA offers from Houston and GSU, and I will be declining an offer from Brandeis and a waitlist from Milwaukee as well.

Needle in the Hay Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I've just declined FSU, removed myself from waitlists at SLU, Fordham, and Ave Maria (Theology), and withdrawn my applications from the University of Dallas and the University of Saint Thomas, Houston. All were PhD programs. I hope this helps someone. SlumberingTrout and Duns Eith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowyBeing Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I know of a few applicants who have declined either their offer or waitlist spot at UW-Seattle. I'm wondering whether anyone knows of any movement on that waitlist. Judging from gradcafe alone, it appears that no such movement has taken place, but that doesn't seem quite right given how far we are in the season. Thoughts?

I'm in the same boat with several of my wait lists. Some schools add a person at a time as people decline, and some do it all at once, and they are not guaranteed to do it right away. So unfortunately we just have to be a bit patient. This might come down to the wire for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of the folks with an offer from UW-Seattle. I'm probably going to be accepting by the end of the week at the latest (I'm waitlisted at a few places but I think I'd still pick UW over the other places). I believe that they're aiming for a cohort of 4(?) and I think at least one other person from the folks that visited will accept their offer. I'm not sure about the other two folks since I know they had offers elsewhere as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say so explicitly? Explicitly, no. But it did sound like everyone who was initially offered was visiting (which was four of us) and at no point was anyone else mentioned as not being able to visit, someone else we should know about who might be a future colleague in the program, etc. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soproperlybasic Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I plan on declining my offer at WMU sometime this week. I was offered a tuition waiver and an assistantship, so perhaps this will help someone else who wants to go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
