fsustar83 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I actually had to do this... Generally speaking, once you get into a school you don't want to lose your spot and risk not getting into any other schools. And, it's your money so you should go to the best school that you can get into... Congrats FSUstar!! Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcjami Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm a WCU waitlister also...dying in the inside alittle bit today. Do you all of the students that were not accepted first round got this email? Or do you think the email was limited down and sent to select students? Ahhhh, it's going to be so hard to wait another month not knowing where I stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django45 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Do you all of the students that were not accepted first round got this email? Or do you think the email was limited down and sent to select students? Ahhhh, it's going to be so hard to wait another month not knowing where I stand. This is my second application to WCU, and the same process seems to be occuring as last year....I waited last year until May to learn that the process was closed; I was never technically "rejected". I am curious if anyone got a rejection notice at this point, but I have no idea. The thought of another month of waiting is making me need to take more yoga asap. It would be nice to know if we are actually in a legitimate "pile of possibilities" and not just 300+ students all in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUslp Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Oh, thanks for the heads up! Oh well, good things come to those who wait. By the way, it looks like our backgrounds are pretty similar, since I was a Linguistics major at Brandeis! And I also got waitlisted at BU after an interview. Congrats on your acceptance to Emerson! I'm hoping one's coming my way (it's my top choice), but I'm not holding out hope on it and I'm just grateful to get the once acceptance at this point. One of my linguistics professors was a full-time professor at Brandeis (Dr. Henrietta Hung) and taught phonology at NU since the program didn't have a professor suitable to teach the course at the time. She was wonderful and I've heard wonderful things about Brandeis's program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorcalSLP Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 However, I can't help thinking about how I'd feel bad for committing to a school to only back out later on. I wonder how often this happens? ALL the time. It's why wait-lists move through July or even later. People put deposits on one school then get off one of a wait-list and decide to take themselves off of the list for the school they had put their deposit on. This allows THAT school to admit off the wait-list and it creates a domino effect. Don't feel bad AT ALL about doing this. As much as I am VERY happy at my grad school I admit it was not my FIRST choice (it was a top choice but not #1). I was wait-listed at #1 and if I had been admitted off the wait-list (before July as by then I had an apartment and had planned my move across the country) I would have sacrificed my deposit and not felt at ALL guilty about it. Think about it this way, if you get off the list to your wait-list school and "back out" on another school you may be allowing someone else to take YOUR place. Don't worry about not giving school A your tuition money, they get a lot of that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that maybe they emailed applicants who live farthest away? Maybe they figured that if you'd receive the letter within a day or two that was sufficient, but if it would be longer than that they notified via email so we wouldn't have to wait too long?

CO (soon to be) SLP Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just wanted to give everyone an update on UNC-G. The department is done notifying applicants that were accepted and the rest of us have been put on a waitlist. Apparently they had 350 applications and needed to fill 25 spots. We will be notified of their final decision sometime between March 15 and April 15. Just got an email about this after sending them one to inquire about my status. Do you know if this mean that every single person who was not accepted is wait listed, or did they just take the next x % of people? Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! Just for clarification, I think SLP1990 is referring to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, not Northern Colorado at Greeley.
