MidwesternAloha Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I never thought I would be the one writing this but..... I GOT OFF THE WAITLIST!!!!

floatingmolecule Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Zombie400, MidwesternAloha: Thank you so much! And thanks for putting up with my whining for these last few months! Tomorrow, when I wake up, that sinking feeling will be gone. I wish the same for everyone! May all of you get that notification on your phone, glance down and see "Congratulations!" next to the name of your dream university. May you all know what it is like to have your heart skip a beat as you hop the boundaries of purgatory, and one fraction of a second is all it takes to bring you there. Good luck to everyone on here still waiting! And for those who didn't make it - I came close to being in the same boat. I would have tried again! So should you!

MidwesternAloha Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 When I'm feeling down, I'm going to read your post there. That was so motivating! Congrats again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianpolicy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Is anyone here sitting tight on the wait list for the MPP at Harvard Kennedy School? HKS says that admitted applicants had until April 15 to make a decision and the adcomm would then meet again to make decisions, if any, on admitting wait listed candidates. Wondering if anyone has heard anything yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingmolecule Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thank you Ellies and MidwesternAloha! I hope your funding pulls through, Ellies! It would be so great if everything could just work out for all of us!! Ianpolicy: I don't have specific insight into your program, but I am guessing that they are working through the waitlist - maybe one of these days you'll get an email asking you if you are still interested. Waitlist acceptees seem to get a deadline for accepting too (for me it is May 1st) - so they might be waiting on the first people they took off the list. It is hard to say. I was in your shoes just the other day and my mind was bursting with scenarios. I really, really hope you end up hearing from them! Positively!!!

gradsbh Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Told I was waitlisted at the end of January, and that applicants who were made offers had until April 15 to accept. I have not heard a peep from them since January, despite sending an email to my correspondent asking for any updates. It's funny, because after applying in December I was told my application would be reviewed within 30 days. I remember when that 30 days was coming to a close how anxious I was, then only to find out I was waitlisted. Then I thought to myself "Now watch, it'll be mid april before I hear anything" and I felt like mid April would never come. Now it's almost May, and still nothing! *furiously chews on pencil* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlhmr Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I just wanted to say that, I was accepted, today, so it is possible even it if it is extremely late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msparks Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Hello All! I wish I had been looking at this Gradcafe months ago. I am wait listed twice. Philadelphia and Norway for my Masters. I have been told that Norway could take me as late as end of July! Crazy. This may sound hard core but even at this late date I feel hope. I may not hear until late July... can you believe it? Norway is my top choice. I think Philadelphia is locked down and there is no chance left... but I still have hope for Norway. Let me know if anyone out there is in a similar situation.

Finding_Dory Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Waitlisted at my top choice program and really upset about it. This thread makes me feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finding_Dory Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 March 1. Still on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmar148 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Does anyone know if it's acceptable to call and ask what one's ranking on the waitlist is? I'd like to know so I can make a decision but I don't want to seem rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WriteAndKnit Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Here's the waitlist crowd! UDub doesn't disclose waitlist ranking (they said as much in the notification e-mail), but I'm one of 38. I'm sending a "thanks for letting me know" reply to the admissions person and going to get back to my current academic stuff (and crafting).

vandemataram Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Currently on three waitlists (no acceptances). Really bummed because I feel like this means that I'm sufficiently qualified for the programs I applied to, but I'm just not an exciting applicant. I can't realistically reapply next year, so I'm really really hoping something comes through. I know that waitlists aren't the end of the world -- I could still get in! I'm qualified! There's hope! -- but still... feels bad, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know so I can make a decision but I don't want to seem rude. This is acceptable, but I would still wait a bit before asking. Plenty of students are still visiting schools this week and won't turn programs down until they've had time to "digest" the experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braaains Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm glad this thread is here, even if it's not super active this year! I'm dying over here - waitlisted at my top (and only) choice program, and they can't give me any info about ranking on the list or how many other people are in the same boat. Refreshing my email every 5 minutes is getting olddddd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any advice, I basically sulked these past two months and half heartedly looked for jobs. If I do have a bit of advice, I would say to let yourself feel how you feel---whether it's sad, angry, indifferent. You don't have to pick yourself up and move to the next plan right away. vandemataram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Villa 7 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I am now on the waitlist of my top choice of programs. Haven't been slept well for almost 2 weeks. But I saw many hopeful comments here. And I will definitely would come back to cheer this thread up again by receiving acceptance off of the waitlist !!!!! vandemataram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineLolipops Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Currently have rejections from half of the programs I applied to, and at this point the most I can hope for is waitlist status at the other programs, but I was very surprisingly waitlisted at my top choice. It's nice to hear about people actually getting off the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanraymond Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Applied to concurrent programs from MIT. Got waitlisted by 1 and rejected by the other. They said I will hear back by April 15th, but my current best choice (CMU) requires answer by April 1st. Wondering if its still worth waiting for?
