Waitlist

[Mayestr]

Does anyone have any experience with getting off of a waitlist? Unsure of how likely it is but I want to hope. Thanks!

I got off a waitlist and it turned out to be where I went to graduate school! It was nerve wracking, but such an elating feeling once it happened!! Good luck!

I ended up attending the school where I was initially waitlisted last year! I had already committed somewhere else but ended up deciding to withdraw my acceptance there and attend the school where I had been waitlisted.

Good luck! So far I've only gotten 1 rejection, 2 waitlists from the schools I've heard from. Hoping if I don't get into any of the other ones I applied to that I get pulled off a waitlist!

Do you remember how soon you heard back? Thanks!

Do you remember roughly the time you heard back? Thanks!

Does anyone know on average the length of a waitlist? I know some of these programs are small so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The school I’m waitlisted for also won’t disclose rankings.
