zsaha22 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Just got an email that I was put on an unranked waitlist at the University of Minnesota. Anyone else?

How do you know the applicants that are waitlisted if you don't already have a list of acceptances, minimally? Edited January 27, 2019 by bluwe typo

Expand It might have something to do with that acceptances have to be approved for funding by the grad school (I think). Whereas, rejections and wait listed people don't have to be. Maybe. Just what I think.

The classmate of someone who was accepted to Minnesota posted in the Facebook group.

If they were just offered standard funding then I'd be worried.
Nothingtown Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Looks like rejections and acceptances are out for UNC Chapel Hill, and I haven't heard anything regarding my application. Probably waitlisted?
