Guest hopefulfool Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've been wait-listed at my first choice, but from the e-mail it seems that they do not want to be contacted. It only says to contact them if you want to come off the wait-list, but then it says to let them know of other opportunities that you are offered. I know with another school they wanted me to email them to discuss my research interests more, my interest in the program, etc. I am not sure if I should do the same with this one and if it is a good idea to tell them about my other opportunities. Telling them about an additional wait-list doesn't seem like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramswell Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 i would not contact them if I were you. Don't say anything about other offers. I have a feeling that might push you down the list. Man I think schools are getting meaner as time goes by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hopefulfool Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks a lot for your input and I agree with your opinion. Admissions are not what they used to be back in the 80s and 90s. It was easy back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
