Waitlists

[kaxelrod]

Hi,

 

Anyone seeing any movement on waitlists yet?  Or do we think that won't happen until after 4/15?  I'm waiting to hear on Harvard's waitlist.

At the programs where I was on the wait list, they promised to inform me "shortly before" April 15th. From what I've heard, "shortly before" can literally mean the day before, so that might be something to raise your blood pressure if you're planning on cutting it down to the wire. What did the department tell you about your position on the wait list/chance of making it in off of the wait list? That might be one way to make your decision about how long to keep waiting (if you've got another offer to accept).

I too, am in wait list limbo and wondering whether I'll be welcomed into the pearly gates of funded offer land, or cast into the darkness of yet another application cycle. My first choice program is my only non rejection (only applied to a few programs) and I've been on their wait list since early march with no word on when might hear. It's torture.
