ajl1239 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've seen some impressive recoveries from the waitlist on this board. Waitlist to full fellowship at an Ivy League program, waitlist to full fellowship at my beloved U.Va. I was recently waitlisted at my top pick for a history MA program. What do you suggest for next steps? I replied that I would enthusiastically accept the waitlist. Any other steps people have taken? Worth contacting a professor in charge of the program and tactfully explaining one's continued enthusiasm for the program? Any other steps you suggest? Or is it better to not even risk being "annoying" and just WAIT it out? I'd love to hear your stories and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajesusj Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wait it out. But I sent a not-so-desperate letter stating that the university (I was waitlisted on) was my first choice and I would still be very interested in an offer should a position become available.

illinoisellie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well, I'm waitlisted at one of my top choices. I sent the "I still love you!" email, but I am now waiting until at least the week after april 15th to start freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
