Can we say that we are going to receive rejection those who are still waiting from GU? Whoever did not hear back as of yet from Georgetown should expect a rejection. This includes me lol. I tend to believe they sent out all of the acceptances, possibly also the wait-listed ones as well. But to be sure, let's give them one additional week. Oh and- don't hold your breath to receive their official rejection, last year they sent my rejection around the middle of May. Dwar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaze_ng Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Does anyone know if Penn State also keeps applicants in waitlist limbo as well? I'm still waiting for them to give me a decision so I can end the misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard anything from them, but it seems that the rejections are trickling out. I think they started on friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU is my top choice this cycle, so I still kinda cling onto them. I just want them to reject me already so I can commit to other schools that accepted me.

I emailed them in early Feb when acceptances were coming out and the coordinator got back to me and let me know that the decisions were being made and that i'd hear very soon. Have not heard anything besides that. And i'm with you on just wanting to get this decision back. PSU was one of my top two choices this cycle. Thankfully i got into my other top choice and intend to accept it after the visit day (assuming they pass the vibe check). I'd just feel so much better about accepting it once i hear back a definitive answer from PSU. GabriellaG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPepperGuy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Anyone here accepted to WashU that has the visit date?

Yea I saw that as well. But the post said email to check the portal. I thought it will be like either the POI or Emily Ritter will write to accepted people first and then wait for another week to get formal decision.

That's also what I thought as DGS said in the email on Jan 14 that either she or other faculty members would contact accepted people. I just feel it is wired...

GabriellaG Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 So I know that some people have been writing to their schools they want to go to (at least so it seems here and on the results section) and asking about waitlisting, timelines, etc. And I was just wondering what the group's opinions are on trying to make your case to either a waitlist school (by ex: saying you would accept immediately if they offered it), or to a school you haven't been accepted to yet. I've been going back and forth on it myself. It seems like it could be both harmful and beneficial depending on how you framed it. But I was just curious if any of you have done that and if you've gotten a generally positive or negative response from it? I'm dying here haha - I need to do something otherwise I'll go mad.

You’re more likely to hear a positive response if you tell them they are your top choice. For waitlists I’d say that contacting the DGS a few times (maybe once a month or so) to just check in is appropriate. But I’d also try and figure out when events are and contact after. For example, a lot of programs judge a students level of interest by their attendance at a recruitment event. Similarly a lot of students decide if they’ll attend a school after a recruitment event. So if you can figure out when the event is for your waitlisted school then It may work better if you email them a week after the event ends.
