blueberryscone Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I don't think they're accepting people from the general pool. At least one of the people accepted in the last week later posted that it was from the waitlist, and s/he had been notified earlier about being waitlisted.

portraitofsarah Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Really? I didn't see that. It looks like somebody was asking if they were from the waitlist, but i didn't see a response.

dazedandbemused Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone know how many people were accepted to Nevada-Reno and whether they already had their visit weekend? I have a friend who's apparently at the top of the waitlist there, but she doesn't use gradcafe and could use some good news. At the least, does anyone know whether there's the chance of any movement on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datatape Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone know how many people were accepted to Nevada-Reno and whether they already had their visit weekend? I have a friend who's apparently at the top of the waitlist there, but she doesn't use gradcafe and could use some good news. At the least, does anyone know whether there's the chance of any movement on the waitlist? Yes. There were eight initial acceptances and I went out for visiting weekend on March 1. I would advise your friend to shoot a message to Cheryll Glotfelty, who's been extremely forthcoming with information this whole application cycle. Those of us who did go out for visiting weekend had a great time and all seemed to enjoy the program, but unfortunately I can't tell you about what the others are thinking and whether there's been any movement on the waitlist. Personally, I am leaning toward UNR, but I'm not going to commit until I get funding information from my other acceptance and have a good idea about whether I'll get an offer from either of my waitlists.

antihumanist Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Oh lord, just got in off the Toronto waitlist. These things do happen people. Though now I have to make a choice, not sure how I feel about this newfound agency. smellybug, practical cat, Two Espressos and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antihumanist Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Congrats!! Thanks, though my liver does not thank me. I'm playing "Grad School Chicken," or as my friend calls it "Playing for Pinks." Rules (for those who have been playing along/want to play next year/want to catch up and join me): 1. every rejection before acceptances = 1 night of debauchery and drinking to excess. 2. any rejection after an acceptance = no drinks for you, you're already in somewhere you dumbass. 3. waitlists = bonus round. You get to drink no matter if you're in or out. 4. Acceptances = get drunk as shit as well. Even though I got one acceptance fairly early in the cycle, my waitlists were already breaking my liver, and now getting in off them = liver hates me. While you don't have to take these nights of excess immediately after hearing word, it is encouraged. bfat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmmar Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just declined U Rochester's offer. I know there were a few people on here on the wait-list, so I wanted to post my update. Hope this means good news for someone! Katia_chan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmar Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Okay! I've made my final decision to go to University of Michigan, so I just sent out notices to the schools I've declined: (recently): Case Western, U Illinois Chicago, and Iowa. The DGS at UIC was a bit aggressive in asking for my decision this week, claiming that they have students on the wait-list for whom UIC is their top choice. SO, I'm assuming that my notice will mean good news for someone there. I also received an email the other day from Pittsburgh, asking if I still wished to be considered from their wait-list. Since I've just accepted at Michigan, I told them to take me off—but that means that they will probably be going to their wait-list, and someone else will have a spot. That's all my news! smellybug and intextrovert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastiansteddy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Okay! I've made my final decision to go to University of Michigan CONGRATS!!! After a great visit to OSU, I have declined fully funded offers from Santa Cruz, Stony Brook, and Rochester. I am still considering Irvine and Riverside and am hoping to have a clear picture after I visit them both next week. Hope those three help some people out!!

dazedandbemused Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I don't know if Pitt will be going to their waitlist this year, but I'll be turning them down this week. I'm also turning down a funded MA offer from Florida, so I hope that helps someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastiansteddy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 For anyone else out there who may be waiting on Irvine, I've been told that so far only one person has declined. To get to the waiting list, they'd still need at least 5 more people to decline. They hope to know more within the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
