TheChai Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hi everyone, It's entering the last few weeks before the April 15 decision date... I suspect that I'm either on the waitlists at a couple schools, or silently rejected and it's just a matter of time for me to get the rejection letter. I was thinking maybe contacting the admission office to ask what my status is but I'm scared. How did you guys learn whether you're not on the waitlist or not? I guess usually you have to ask them about it?
ashiepoo72 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I emailed the DGS. I think it's perfectly fine to do so this late in the application season. Good luck!
iphi Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 They told me straight out via email I had been waitlisted.
sjoh197 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah, my POI emailed saying he put me on the waitlist, because he was waiting to hear about his grants and can't fund me until then.
nightfarmer Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I emailed the DGS. I think it's perfectly fine to do so this late in the application season. Good luck! Yep, exactly. After having been led to believe I was accepted while they worked out the details, they responded to my email of enquiry with a 'no, you're low on the waitlist and most likely not getting in' Sucks how you have to push people to give you decisions they've already made. Why do so many universities use silent/unofficial waitlists?
floatingmolecule Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I found out after asking the question admissions department. Right after that I got an email from my POI notifying me that competition for internationals is tight and that I am on the waitlist. I imagine I won't get the rejection until the bitter end.
TheChai Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 I guess I'm on the international boat too :/ The only good thing is i've luckily secure 1 school.... I'm not gna email them lol I'd hate that feeling to know about the rejections

I'm not gna email them lol I'd hate that feeling to know about the rejections Congratulations on the one school. You are very lucky. I have not secured even one! What I would not give for the last school I have not heard from yet to offer me acceptance! The thought of struggling through a whole year in limbo just to go through this again is more than mildly depressing.

The thought of struggling through a whole year in limbo just to go through this again is more than mildly depressing. Well, totally understood. Best of luck! Let's hope that we are on some waitlists.
Rylai Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I had to email my top choice to find out I was wait listed. I emailed another program around the same time about my application status only to be informed that the program was full and they weren't accepting any candidates that year . I'm sure they've already received inquiries other than yours, so don't be afraid to ask.
TheChai Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 I emailed rochester and florida just to find out I got rejected........ Not gna email the rest of my schools now.......

Yes, the one school who waitlisted me did so quite a looooong while ago, so I can imagine I probably got rejected since I asked. I guess they figure that this close to the end, there is no point in sending out single rejections. I could ask again, but I figure the answer will come around the 15th on its own.
