I'm in the same place with a different lab at a different school. I've just assumed I've been rejected at this point and made plans to apply again next year...

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I think I'll just bite the bullet and reach out to my POI again. Best of luck with your own situation ?.

I was 28 when I started, and I was also not the oldest in my cohort. There are 8 of us, and there are 2 people older than me. Don't worry about being the old fart! I think my age and experience prior to grad school has helped me in a lot of ways.

I was wondering the same thing. I emailed the DCT awhile ago and was told I was being put on the waitlist but would get an official letter in a few days. That was over a month ago and still haven't heard anything back...

Hate to break it to you, but I think I hold that title... I'll be 32 in July ? I wasn't able to start college until I was 23 and I took a few years off after graduation to get research experience.

Naah, got you. I'll be turning 36 April 4th. If you're an old fart, I'm ancient as eff. Also have two kids, one who turned 1 today and an almost 5 year old.

I am wondering if anyone here is holding on to an offer for UNLV? Probably none of my business and I should be patient, but I guess I am just curious

[BusyBee9]

Also ~ about the age question - I'm about to be 30 in April and it's looking like I'll be applying for another round lol

Can't believe it's only been 12 days since I've been waitlisted from my top pick. It feels like it was 2 months ago. ?. Time is going way too slow.

Yeah its unbearable. I didn't seriously apply this year (4 phd programs), got into all the masters programs I applied to (4). Only got 1 interview at my top choice phd and I'm one spot away on the waitlist. Bleh.

Yeah - that's where I'm at....It's been since February 22nd and all I know is one person is holding the offer and I am the top alternate. I've been trying to assume the worst - I won't get it, but there is that little pilot light still holding out!

Same here! Been waiting since March 4th. I've been in touch with my potential PI, who keeps saying "if we remain a top choice, I definitely encourage you to hold off accepting other offers until we know more!" Which seems promising, but could also just be the generic language used by the department. This limbo is the worst!

Same been on the waitlist for my first choice since January 27th.... losing it bit by bit?

I was offered admission on the 19th of February after interviewing on the 15th of February. I am choosing between that school and another Southern California school. If I choose the other school (highly likely), I hope to release my offer by the beginning of next week

This waiting game is sooo unbearable, I have only one chance and I am waitlisted, I've been on there since February 20th. I am starting to lose hope I don't even where I stand on the waitlist, I am thinking of reaching out to them soon.

I will be 25, almost 26!

I’m 28 but this process makes me feel like I’m turning 85. I’m hoping I’ll get into a program before I’m 50. Although, even if I did get in at 50 that would still give me plenty of years to work before I die.
