I know speculation is dangerous and usually like to avoid it but what are your thoughts on this ...

 

I emailed a POI about a month ago (Jan. 9) at a Canadian school I applied to and didn't hear back until today. In the email the POI said, "...my apologies for being so tardy in responding to this. We have reviewed your file and you will be hearing from our chair soon. I look forward to further correspondence that may result from that."

 

Umm......... A tiny hopeful spark in me wants to think that since it took so long to reply, the POI wouldn't have bothered with responding/ saying all that if I didn't get in? Any thoughts? Don't worry the hope won't get too big just in case.

Sounds pretty hopeful to me. Congrats, Giotto.

Well, I don't see any correspondence that could happen if it were a rejection!!!! :D!!!!!!

My understanding is there's no wait list at UNC, and that once the offer's out, it's out. 

 

This is indeed true. No wait-list, and the offer has long since landed. So if you haven't heard back from UNC yet for Ancient Med, bad news...
