April 15th jitters

[soontobeslp2018]

Hey guys!

For those of you waitlisted, how are you feeling as the 15th gets closer? I’ve been rejected and waitlisted everywhere so I’m feeling very anxious about the 15th. I know I’m not the only one! Feel free to post how you’re feeling below! Fingers crossed we get good news next week

I've been waitlisted at 8 schools and finally got off one this past Friday. It's definitely anxious because I'm waitlisted at my second school and technically still haven't heard anything from my number 1 (they say my application is still being considered but won't tell me if I'm even waitlisted). I'm constantly checking my email and this darn website. I hope that we can hear some news within the week following the 15th. Hopefully the schools will be diligent in going through their waitlists and won't make us last any longer.

I think most schools have their waitlist ready to start accepting people on Monday. At least I hope they would be prepared but you never know. I was feeling pretty good about getting into one school based off an email I got from the department chair but now the anxiety of “what if everyone accepts their spot” or “what if I’m not as high on the list as I thought” or “what if they run out of spaces for me” is starting to kick in

I'm totally ready just to find out! My wait list letter informed me that I should be hearing back by June and July. I was even told by 2 ppl that they know of friends that were accepted off the waitlist the week before and week of orientation. This is my second of year I've been waitlisted.  I'm ready for good news!

I feel ya. I just talked to the grad program secretary of my number 1 waitlisted school. She said the program isn't "full" yet, but there are more outstanding offers than there are spots available at the moment. Then she also said the committee might decide they have enough people and NOT go to the waitlist even if they end up with less than their target number. However she did say they will close the waitlist soon after April 15, so at least I won't be wondering forever. I wish people would hurry up and decide, but then I'm holding a spot at another university hoping I get off this waitlist. Frustrating, but hopefully we'll find out soon.

Yeah, I was told the committee would start accepting people off the waitlist on Monday. It's hard to stay positive, but honestly negative thinking isn't worth it. I struggle with this, too! Just keep thinking everything will work out in the end. :-)

Thankfully my top program only sends out the number of acceptances that put the program at their target cohort size so I don’t have to worry about them not going to the waitlist. Really hoping to get good news come Monday or Tuesday. I was told I’m very high on the waitlist so I should know ASAP then

I’m trying but it’s so hard! I was told I’m very high on the list so I should hear from the program ASAP which is nice. Fingers crossed for both of us!

Declined eastern New Mexico, Missouri State, Southeast Missouri State, northern Colorado, Idaho State, and Wyoming! 

 

Got into Fresno State! My #1 choice since I'll receive in-state tuition and live at home.

Hi,

Was the UNCO for the online program?  I'm on the waitlist for that program and praying something good will happen. 

[slpgrad620]

Same with the “what if the class is full” anxiety but hopefully waiting to hear back with some good news sometime soon from Hofstra which is my top choice ?? (although they never mentioned anything about my rank on the list except that if I don’t hear back by August, it means a No.) Best of luck to us all !!

Unfortunately, it is for the residential program.

I swear, every email I get makes my heart stop for a few seconds haha

Silly question.....do people get called or emailed when being accepted off a waitlist? Or does it just vary from program to program?

It varies by program. I’ve seen people posting that they’ve gotten called and others saying they got an email

Thanks!  I kind of figured but wasn't sure if I should be panicking every time I get an email or a phone call from a number I don't recognize. I guess both for now! Trying to stay positive : )

One of my programs accepted me off the waitlist in the mail so check everything.

So you just got a letter?! I know when I've been rejected bc I get an email then a letter in the mail. It seems crazy that they would only send a letter when you are accepted! Thanks for the info. I'm gonna keep an eye out for that too.

I'm having a much harder time today than I expected! I was rejected at 5 schools and waitlisted at 3. I'm hoping to hear something from someone today, praying for good news! I'm trying not to spend too much time checking in here today but can't keep my mind off of it. Snapped at my boss and a coworker in a meeting, feeling extremely edgy and impatient. I know we'll know soon, but the waiting is just so hard!

Hoping you hear good news soon! The program I was waiting on emailed us this morning that they closed the waitlist. I will be attending another school, but really had my hopes up for this one. Good luck! This process hasn't been easy.

Thanks for the good wishes and congrats on your acceptance! Sorry to hear the one school didn't work out but I do have a feeling (at least a hope) that the schools that choose us know we are a good match for them. Good luck to you!

I got an email to my personal email that said "Accepted" for the 2018 Fall CDIS Cohort, I imagine they will do the same if you are accepted in off the waitlist. Hoping it works out for you!
