Waitlisted

[CrunchySocks]

I recently was notified by one of the schools I applied to that I am waitlisted and pretty sure that I am waitlisted at another due to my correspondance with the graduate secretary concerning offers already made and for me not to lose hope. I have chosen not to hassle them anymore and just let what happens happen. I did send a quick email to the grad coordinator from the one school that waitlisted for sure that I am still interested and thanks for letting me know. My question is does anyone know any stats from Western Michigan or Southern Illinois on people who were waitlisted in their English departments? I am applying to the Ph.D. program for fall 2012. I am getting nervous because last year I wasnt accept anywhere and this year I have had three rejections, an offer with no funding, these two waitlists, and then another school who hasn't said anything yet. Please give me any advice you can. Thanks.
