BU Unofficial Waitlist?

[Eco_Vibes]

Still have not heard from the Biology Department at BU which definitely concerns me.     On the other hand, is there usually an unofficial waitlist at BU or other biology PhD programs at different schools?  BU is still my top choice, but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out.  Any input/advice?  I emailed the program coordinater last week but...no response.

I'm not too sure since it differs by school.  The absolute best thing you can do is call and hound them a little if you must.  Emails are very easy to ignore and/or miss and/or end up in the spam folder.  Call the grad office maybe and ask about your application.  Best of luck to you!

I second on calling. I had to call a few times but once I got a hold of the program coordinator she was very nice and extraordinarily helpful. PM me if you need help finding her contact info.

I unofficially heard from a prof. that he wasn't extending an offer to me but they waited until today to send me a rejection letter... would have been nice to get it a bit sooner.
