ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sorry to hear it MarketMan. But you're still one acceptance ahead of me! This is true...keep ya head up...I am not worried.

Mnemonics2 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is true...keep ya head up...I am not worried. Still got a long way to go and 2-3 more schools I would give serious consideration to. If you don't mind me asking, why only 2-3 others for serious consideration? You still have...6 outstanding, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliSwede Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Congratulations to all the Boulder-admits! I strongly considered that program because it'd be fun to work with Aydin or Tir, but it didn't make the cut in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tir is fantastic, hope some of you are planning to work with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upam Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 So do any schools actually only update the status checker (in lieu of email, phone, mail, etc)? Haven't actually been checking these yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNU2PSU2Unknown Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wait listed at Pitt. Neutral news is better than bad news! Good luck everyone! Same here (as a longtime lurker in this forum, I figured I would wait until I had some news to report). I've been in contact with Prof. Kanthak for quite some time, and overall she has been remarkably candid in every conversation -- thus, I have at least some reason to believe the sincerity of the comment that the wait list is "very short" and "very selective," definitely a good sign! Good luck to all who are anxiously waiting to hear news today, and congratulations to those who have heard back positively already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliSwede Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) As long as this boat doesn't sink, I'll be alright. I have a feeling S.S Waitlist is a ship with many passengers and a limited number of spots in the life rafts.

setgree Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've also joined the Pitt waitlist cohort. Congrats guys, it's certainly not bad news at all. Really, it is good news. i was waitlisted at 3/10 places I applied to undergrad, and ended up attending one of them (the school I applied to ED mailed me in July being like sorry you're not off the waitlist, to which I wanted to write back "yeah guys I kind of assumed that, it's July?!?"). i think of admissions as like courtship; in both cases, "maybe" is a far cry from "no."

Mnemonics2 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Waitlisting really is still good news. I had several last cycle and was accepted to G'town (no funding of course) off of the list in mid-July. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balledematch Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 every time I check this forum it seems like 3 new pages are added and my heart immediately starts racing to about 250 bpm! Being across the Atlantic makes waiting weird bc I have to go through my entire day before I can legitimately start getting antsy about potentially hearing back. Not relevant to the current conversation...but still thought I'd share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
