ecogoth Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I withdrew my name from the Brandeis waitlist a few weeks back, and I (tentatively) plan to turn down both UConn and Syracuse's PhD offers. I'm just waiting to "zoom" talk with two more people at BC before I fully commit! That being said, I've already very emotionally committed Take care, everyone! Hope this helps some people out there - and I hope you're all being safe amidst the quarantine (i've taken to solitary pensive walks and yearning) spikeseagulls, merry night wanderer and ccab4670 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeseagulls Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I found out that I was on the waitlist for UC Davis today, but I know for certain I wouldn't be attending even if I'm accepted, so I asked to have myself removed. Hopefully this will allow someone else to be closer to acceptance. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lblack Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) I (painfully) declined my offer to UCR today. I hope this helps someone on the waitlist! They were so incredibly kind and helpful throughout this whole process. I was also offered the Eugene Cota Robles award, so hopefully that will be given to someone else now.

Rani13 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I just turned down my offers from Rutgers and the University of Michigan. At the latter school, I also turned down the Rackham Merit Fellowship. I hope this bodes well for some of you! onerepublic96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrative Nancy Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I turned down my offer from Rutgers a couple days ago - I'm a bit sad but relieved that theirs was the last one I needed to write...the process was eating away at me. Hopefully it helps someone out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani13 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) I just declined my offer from Brown. That was hard given the many brilliant scholars in the department. Really hope they go to the waitlist! Edited April 7, 2020 by Rani13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghan_sparkle Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just declined Chicago. Damn that was difficult. Not sure if they have a waitlist but if they do, hope this helps someone on it. ABottledCoke and MichelleObama 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hoosier Oxonian Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I've just written, with a heavy heart, to decline my offers from Michigan and Northwestern (in all honesty, I shed a few tears over my email to my primary POI at Northwestern, and I'm really sorry to walk away from Michigan's Rackham Merit Fellowship - this hurt). I know at least a couple of GC folks are hoping for Michigan waitlist movement, so I hope this means good news for someone. onerepublic96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
