Thanks! Duke interviews some shortlisted candidates. Not being interviewed doesn’t mean you are not one of the shortlisted candidates. So we just don’t know until we get the offer/rej/wl from the school lol. RegimeObserver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Anyone else feeling like UT Austin put a ton of people on the waitlist this year? Only saw one admission on the results page. Any thoughts on why that's happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only saw one admission on the results page. Any thoughts on why that's happening? Departments always overadmit; they have a target for the incoming cohort (sometimes cappe by the university), but they know not everybody will accept. It may happen that their yield is too high and so they end up with a bigger cohort than they wanted. One way to avoid this is to have a longer waitlist and only pluck people out of it when they have a better idea whether the already-admitted people will accept or not. Don't know if that is the case, but could be one explanation. If all waitlisted people are from the same subfield, it may be related to faculty (either leaving, arriving, going on leave, etc) curtsyingking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming these are not trolls, everything seems to go quickly and early in this cycle. I don't feel like it is that different. Last year Emory jumped the gun on everybody, this year was WashU. Notre Dame was earlier last year, but we haven't got anything outta there yet. But there always seems to be some department who jumps ahead for whatever reason. The Vanderbilt interview is super early compared to last year, but last year the deadline for application was Jan 15th, whereas it was moved to December 15th this year. So they seem to be following a similar flow, but with a different date because of the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
