Hi all , 

 

Thank you for reading this message and deciding to share your experience. Please don't speculate , I need someone who really experienced a similar situation . 

 

I am still on the UNOFFICIAL WAIT LIST.  I am not denied admission as I ve been told by the admission advisor of a University A, However my application was not picked up by any PI and the admission decision depends strongly on the common student-professor interest. ( THOUGH THEY CLEARLY STATE THAT U GET ADMITTED AND THEN U PICK UR PI )

That typically mean I am on the road to rejection unless A miracle happens.

So I decided not wait for miracles I ve sent emails for PIs expressing my interest and the good news they seems like they are interested in me , Now the professors are asking if I was admitted to the university. 

If an answer them by NO and I haven't been picked up by anyone it might deter the PI . 

I ve sent the admission officer an email to ask them about their admission policy , they did not reply yet. I am confused and I dont know what do do . 

I really need help.

Say that you haven't been admitted yet, but it is your top choice and you are hoping to find a PI whose lab you can join.

Thanks that s a great suggestion !  I need more replies to increase the confidence level .

Explain the situation to them, just like you did here. Say that you are not admitted but have been told by (admission person's name) that you will be if professors express interest.

ok as an updated the admission office stepped in and they said they are more than happy to explain the situations for the professors involved. 

Thank you all.
