Don’t worry guys! Last year when I was waitlisted I got an email at 3:55pm. So maybe they’re sending it!

I haven't received anything either. Giving the refresh button a workout atm.

Are they maybe going in alphabetical order? As they send out offers?

I heard that this might be the case from past forums actually 

[Epiphany99]

Does it potentially have to do with when you submitted the application as well?

Hmm good point. I submitted mine on December 30th, if that helps anyone out! 

[globalguRl]

Probably by Last Name then

So maybe it’s by date wise?

I honestly have no idea what the process is like - is it possible that they're also going to be sending out waitlist notifications in waves? Does anyone know what the chances are of getting off the waitlist?

Also, I submitted my app on January 20th if that helps anyone!

I heard the chances of getting off the waitlist are much higher than most grad programs!

I think so! So last year I got waitlisted on May 15th. Then I know people who got off of the waitlist heard back in two waves - one in July and then one in August. 
 

Then on Sept 11 2020 I heard back with a rejection

My last name starts with K and I havent received anything yet   Anyone else in the same boat?
