Ajb415 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Waitlisted at UVA. The decision is an attached letter to portal FYI

plzuniverse Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Is it appropriate to ask how high you are on the waitlist? The whole thing is very vexing...
eggsalad14 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I have no stake in the UVA game, but has it only been wait lists and rejections that have come out? Interesting because those are hardly ever the first out. Maybe those without options on their portals are acceptances.
tjdnv37vz Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Has anyone heard back from Harvard Gov yet?

I think it might be too early to come off that anxious about it. And a lot of wait lists aren't ordered in a nice way -- it could very easily be a "if this one student who studies the influence of tubas in Latin American elections says no to us, and everyone who says yes to us is a dude, we'll admit latam tuba chick." An email reiterating that that school is a top choice for you could be good.

I still haven't heard back from them, been obsessively checking both the portal and the results page and you're right, it does seem like no one has been accepted yet.

Have you tried clearing your cache and cookies? I've heard that sometimes solves things. I mean, I understand sending out some rejections first (people who don't make it past the first round), but it makes less sense to send out wait lists and rejects first, because by virtue of knowing who has a wait list and a rejection, they must also already know who is accepted.

Thats true, which is why I am surprised by this apparent route that they are taking

mliliu Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 no news from UVA for me as well. very anxious now.
Dwar Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 someone just posted an acceptance to Virginia, not sure what to make of it now
dreamschoolcometrue Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 There is a Colorado Boulder acceptance appearing on the survey section. Is there any other CU claimant? My application status is still submitted. Nervous!
Guest Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I was sent a generic email at 6pm from UVA to check the portal. I was accepted! 24k funding plus summer stipend and 3 years TA. I’m not the one who posted in the results section Edited January 31, 2019 by Guest

Its still a bit weird that a bunch of us haven't heard anything then. it seems that unlike other programs they are pretty quick to send out rejections or waitlists. I am cautiously hoping that the lack of news is a good sign? but honestly who knows anymore.
mackeycold Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Damn it, Dwar, I haven't heard anything either, unsettling. Weird that some rejections were sent out. Do you think we'll have more decisions tonight or tomorrow? Ugh, nothing on the website or email for me. Anyone claim the Colorado acceptance? I'm not seeing anything for myself. And do we anticipate TAMU or UC Davis coming in soon? Dwar 1
ijustwantin Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Waiting on Colorado and UVA. Thoroughly anxious and thoroughly annoyed.
TheBunny Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 None of my schools still released results. If I ever apply Ph.D. again (I hope not, I want to get in a department this time as this is my second time), I will apply only West Coast schools. They review everything faster and give results.
