Hilbert's timequake Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 URGENT question: does anybody know when approximately OSU will send out waitlists? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alethicethic Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Wait-listed at UBC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zblaesi Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) For what it's worth, I emailed UW-M about my position on their waitlist, and Alan Sidelle responded to me, saying, "I can't be very exact just yet, but you are pretty high on our wait list." I'm taking that with a grain of salt. Incidentally, I just had a dream that I got waitlisted at Rutgers. Even in my dreams, I only get waitlisted.

PerpetualApplicant No More Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I found the two Irvine wait-list notifications this morning. Anyone want to claim them? Were they sent yesterday? I didn't receive one and am assuming a rejection at this point. They are legit, I just spoke with someone in my program who received one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking that with a grain of salt. I'm starting to wonder -- and yes, I realize I should have thought about this a long time ago -- whether it's in a department's best interests to be coy about the wait-list rankings, particularly with those people who aren't very high on the list. Because they know that any of these people on the wait-list may end up at the program. And they probably don't want to start the relationship by saying, "Look, you were our absolute last choice among those we admitted" (hyperbole for effect). Nevertheless departments do frequently answer the question to those who ask. This Wisconsin-Madison wait-list is a long one, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta_pros_to_telos Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Anyone else wait listed at Cornell? Anyone know how many people are on the WL, whether it's ranked (I'm guessing not based on the rather vague email), or how likely they are to dip into it?

bar_scene_gambler Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It looks like the only place I really have a chance at is GSU. I think I'm going to move there one way or another, because GSU gave my significant other a scholarship that she can't pass up. Anyone been to Atlanta before?

Traffic sucks but it's a fairly nice place. Some great food (surprisingly Asian food) if you hunt around a bit. Good luck with getting off that waitlist!

TheVineyard Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) So just to be clear, no waitlist news from CUNY, appears that only first round acceptances were sent? Edited February 28, 2014 by TheVineyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypatience Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So just to be clear, no waitlist news from CUNY, appears that only first round acceptances were sent? I was accepted but wait listed for funding, and so was someone else. So that could just be what they do instead of wait listing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVineyard Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was accepted but wait listed for funding, and so was someone else. So that could just be what they do instead of wait listing people. You said you were waitlisted for fellowship...but fellowship isn't "funding," at least not typically. Fellowship typically means "you get paid money and don't have to teach." It's usually an "extra" that schools will offer to a couple students each year to get them to come. I don't have the full context of your email, but I would assume that you are currently accepted and guaranteed an assistantship, but you are on a waitlist for their special fellowship. You ought to ask them! TheVineyard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta_pros_to_telos Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have a bit more info on the WL at Cornell. I haven't seen any other posts from people on it, so just PM me if you're interested, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar_scene_gambler Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) No go at Houston? NIU? No word from NIU yet and U Houston (I think, but the email was confusing) offered me admission, but it was unfunded. My significant other got a great scholarship from GSU though for Environmental Studies (Science?) and I can't rightly deny her the opportunity to go, so I think I'll be going there one way or another. I can do all the work I need to do in order to improve my application there while working, and I can keep in touch with my faculty long distance, so it's not really a major issue. The way I see it, they either offer me admission, in which case I'll be going there anyway, or they don't and I'll see if I can introduce myself to some of the faculty I'd like to work with in person.

Cottagecheeseman Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Someone just posted a UVA waitlist. I wonder if this is a new waitlist email, or someone who got one back when they were first sent out and is just posting this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quant_Liz_Lemon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've been told by a Christian philosopher to avoid Notre Dame like the plague. Look into Josh Rasmussen. The guy was quite talented and had all these publications and yet couldn't get a job anywhere (last I spoke with him a year ago). Philosophers and their hatred of philosophy of religion, you know... He's got a job at Arizona Pacific University now. http://www.apu.edu/theology/faculty/jrasmussen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm facing a two-body problem as well, albeit a significantly different one, so I'll be rooting for you to get in off the waitlist (well, more so than my default level of rooting for other applicants)!
