Datatape Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I had a voicemail on my phone from Ann Arbor today when I came out of class, and I just about had a goddamned heart attack. But it was a call from a realtor, because I registered for a site so I could start comparing housing prices/options if my fam needs to move. Oy. Oh, my God. I. I just. Oh, you poor thing. This is just. Yes. That. bfat, practical cat and ErnestPWorrell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisplayCancel Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Anyone wait listed at Penn State for the MA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swagato Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I will be removing myself from the waitlist at Pittsburgh soon. I don't know if this may help any others also waitlisted, but I hope it does. practical cat, ErnestPWorrell, littlenell08 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenightsky Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Does anyone know anything about movement on the Emory waitlist? Cicada123, has there been movement on the Emory waitlist? I haven't seen anything about that on the results search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datatape Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have an email out to the Graduate Director at Tennessee, asking about my place on the waitlist. I think I remember vaguely that they've historically had a long, but ranked waitlist. Fingers crossed. Well, I didn't get the information I'd hoped for. The waitlist is quite long (31 people) and I'm #4 in my area, so the odds are against me, but not impossible. Everything depends on how many 20th century scholars they have decline - if four of them do, I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asleepawake Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I received notification that I'm waitlisted at Rochester today, and so I am joining this thread 'o uncertainty! More evidence that it is jumping the gun to assume rejection the instant someone else hears from a school.

thenightsky Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Just turned down TAships at Tennessee, UGA, and Kentucky. So I hope some of you will benefit from this. Best of luck! Datatape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portraitofsarah Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've been waitlisted at UVA. Accepted at Temple, but they haven't made a funding decisions yet, and waiting to hear from one more school (rejected or implicitly rejected everywhere else). It feels like the limbo is just going to extend into March and April. Sigh. Here's hoping the UVA waitlist pays off or Temple comes through with funding! please oh pretty please!

practical cat Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) And I'm once again even on wait-lists/rejections. Always the bridesmaid, you guys.(I've been secretly hoping for a 50% wait-lists response outcome but, ha, I'd have to get them from both Buffalo and Harvard and that's actually just not going to happen.)

ishmael Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Waitlisted at Texas A&M. I emailed the DGS to see if I could get a sense of where I'm at / what my chances of acceptance are. To my chagrin, I was given a cryptic neutral response. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastiansteddy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Me too. Did you get the initial, mistake email? Yes, and it confuses me. I happen to know someone one the list, and s/he is a current UCI student who was wait listed last year. So I am not sure that this really means there are 13 of us on it.

I now know where all of these people live, in case I need to fix the odds. Just kidding. ....or am I? ETA: Oh, yes, now that I'm viewing this on a computer I can see that they are all from last year.

dmmar Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If anyone is on the wait lists at U Wisconsin Milwaukee or Illinois State, I just sent them notices that I'm declining their offer. Planning on declining the offer from University of Illinois Chicago, as well. Hopefully this means good news for some people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
