BeatrizBear Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks guys. I'm getting really nervous and it's throwing off my sleeping schedule. In other news, they're going to film a reality series in my town. They're choosing people right now. If I don't get into grad school, there's my back up. I'll be someone's sassy BFF. I need to practice throwing wine at people's faces and ripping wigs off people's heads, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnfantTerrible Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I feel you, BeatrizBear! I received an email yesterday to say I'm one of two people on the waitlist, and two people have not yet responded to offers of admission. I wish the numbers were more indicative of my chances! Eight days until certainty... squankabonk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrizBear Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 One of the waitlists I'm on isn't ranked, but I don't know how many people are on it. I know for sure someone on this forum has the same interests as me, though... D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squankabonk Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 At Boston College there is one last offer out, and I am next on the waitlist. The school's my top choice. It's a coin flip. I spend my days willing this one person to not accept. Hey person. Go someplace else. If you've spent this long thinking about it it clearly isn't a slam dunk decision for you. It would be a slam dunk for me. Those are the kinds of things I say to them inside my brain.

ishmael Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Greenmt, have you officially accepted? I'm on the waitlist for UMD, 19th cent American, so I'm holding out that maybe there's still a chance, since I haven't heard anything, Haha. Oh, and congrats, by the way!!!

HelloThisIsDog Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is anybody else waiting for Comp Lit at Harvard? I'd love someone to share the angst and excitement if you are! Have anyone been talking to the DGS for updates? I'm afraid of being too repetitive and overbearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnfantTerrible Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 @HelloThisIsDog I'm waiting for Comp Lit at Stanford and I'm full of angst and excitement! Going out of my overexcited, overanxious, overactive mind! I was told a couple of days ago that the waitlist is only two people long and that two people hadn't yet responded to their offers. I just saw (via social media) that one of those people turned her Stanford offer down! Eek. I think the other waitlisted person is ranked ahead of me but I know he has other interesting offers so it's quite possible he'd turn Stanford down. Unless he already has and the other person on the waitlist is someone else! Gahhh, so many thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DGS hasn't said much and I'm afraid of being too forward should I ask. Best of luck and keep us updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean-luc-gohard Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Didn't get into BC. Pretty bummed. Sorry to hear that. Being wait listed is so hard. I've decided to just treat my wait lists as implied rejections at this point, and I'm already starting to mentally prepare for a second round of applications next year. Hugs!
