Duns Scotus Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Waitlisted at Uconn with 25% chance of admission. I had to solicit. This is my top pick, so fingers crossed here. The_Last_Thylacine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eheydon Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Waitlisted at UVA. Seems like it must be a pretty long waitlist? At least ten, maybe twelve of us? Nevertheless, my Starbucks offer still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, my Starbucks offer still stands. Seems to be the second wave of waitlist notifications. I got one in early March that said I was near the top and had a good chance of getting in, and then I also got an email yesterday to check the portal, so I guess they did a bunch of portal updates recently? If you're curious what your chances are, I'd contact them, since I'm relatively certain that there have been two waves of waitlists for UVA but uncertain if that means that the second wave has a lesser chance of getting in.

I saw the same thing, and I am wondering if perhaps many of the initially accepted turned down the offer (prompting an extension of the waitlist)? edit: typing in class Edited March 27, 2019 by Eheydon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likewise got an email in early March saying I was 'extremely' likely to receive an offer. I was likewise invited to visit for the preview with a subsidy. However, I have not received any email about the portal, nor is there any update on the portal. FYI I am likely to decline this offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! I had to inquire about the visit, but am also told my chance is "extremely likely." Currently looking at airfare and such, as I truly do care about getting into this program.

Agent_Causation Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Waitlisted at FSU a couple of days ago. Been a really waitlist-y application season for me. Applied to 15; waitlisted at 5, accepted at 2, rejected at 7, 1 still pending. For one of those acceptances, I'm waitlisted for funding; so I count that, essentially, as 6 waitlists and 1 acceptance. Anyone got any theories concerning what about an applicant's dossier might make him or her attractive enough for lots of waitlists but not enough for acceptances?

carolinaji Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi everyone! I applied to one program, Marymount University Forensic & Legal Psychology Program (M.A.)! I was told on February 25th that I got waitlisted! I emailed the school for more information on my status right after receiving the news and they told me there are about 40-50 people on the waitlist and that I am in the top third! (Side note: they said they get around 200 applicants every year and accept around 90 people). The program had a deadline for a deposit (to save your spot) for accepted students on March 15th. I was really hoping to hear something around those days, hoping that enough people didn't pay for their spot in order for them to offer me admission. I attended their open house and their program specific welcome event (waitlisted students were invited too). What should I do next? Should I wait until after April 15th to email them to see if my rank has changed at all, in hopes that someone who paid for their spot got accepted somewhere else and decided to decline the program? So anxious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be combination of multiple things for different programs. What schools did you apply too? Agent_Causation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose#@1%$ Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hmm interesting, what's your AOI? But, obviously OU (Oklahoma University) and UVA are not at the same level but you were waitlisted at both. But UVA apprently has a giant waitlist this year or maybe every year, idk. I'm willing to bet you have a decent chance at OU. is it for an MA or PhD? 7 minutes ago, Agent_Causation said: Rejected: Notre Dame, Indiana Bloomington, Fordham, Baylor, Saint Louis University, NC Chapel Hill, Arizona Waitlisted(In estimated order of likelihood to be accepted based on vibe from DGS): Oklahoma, UT Knoxville, FSU, Rochester, UVA Accepted: Arkansas, Buffalo (Waitlisted for funding) Pending: Boulder (Presumed rejection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Hungry Caterpillar Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 For those who haven't gotten a response from Stanford even after shaking your spam folder upside down - congrats, you're on a 'second, unofficial, waitlist'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotic_mess Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 To the other Loyola waitlister looking for info if you find this, I got an email saying that offerS (so multiple) were still out so waitlist is still open. There are only 3 spots from what I have heard so either 2/3 or all 3 spots have not been filled yet. I am the one with the Social/Political, Fem Phil AOI. What is yours?

I'm sure that our programs have some similarities, but you might have better luck in the psychology forum. The menu of GradCafe disciplines can be found here.
