Lots of people have heard back for both acceptances and rejections. I, however, have yet to hear a peep! But as they held interview in February, I have written it off as an implied rejection...

I got my admission email surprisingly only after 12hours. But I've heard stories of schools taking much longer... Hope you get in! BTW, Has anyone heard back from LSU, FSU, or Purdue? Just want to get a good night sleep!
getoutofmyhouse Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Any news for any others waitlisted at CUNY? No word on my end, although when I was waitlisted I was told I should hear back by last Thursday...
tweepop Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 hi, getoutofmyhouse! i was waitlisted at CUNY too, but I haven't heard anything since then... They didn't give me a specific date when I should hear by though...
WendyWonderland Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Hi folks, anyone heard from UCLA? I am on the edge of giving up on them.

steve3020 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Question: I was notified by email that I am on a waitlist at WUSTL in mid February and I replied to show my interest. When do you think is an appropriate time to email them again to tell them I'm still interested, or should I just not contact them at all? Thanks.
BellaBendrix Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Question: I saw a few rejections from Duke Literature... I haven't heard from them at all. Should I take this as an implied rejection?

gfm90 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone! Quick question: Has anyone received an *actual* rejection from UMichigan yet? I haven't heard back from them, and I emailed the department but they never responded... So I have no idea if I've been waitlisted, rejected or what. Ugh. Edited March 15, 2016 by gfm90
Litfreak Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Still nothing from Notre Dame...I don't know whether I should contact the department or keep waiting. This already feels like a rejection...anyone in the same situation?

I think they do in waves, I met a guy at another school and he had already gotten an offer from UCLA and there was someone else at gradcafe as well so. I just wanted to decide on a school and get done with it lol.

It is almost end March, I don't get it how they can be that slow.

Hi!!!I got accepted back in February and I'm still waiting to find out if I can get funding (hopefully yes, they said)! Did they offer you funding?

Did they offer you funding? Nothing on funding was mentioned in my admissions letter. I e-mailed them on the 17th, and I'm hoping to hear back by this week. Also, funding for me will be a bit tricky since I am an undocumented student. Anyways, what did you put in your application when it was asked whether you'd be interested in attending the university without funding? I answered no. Edited March 21, 2016 by Marshmlol

Of course, once admitted, the funding will be the same.

I am waiting on UCLA as well... No, hell no. Sorry to break the bad news to you, but the tuition of international students are WAY higher than domestic students. For the UCs, if you are a Cali resident, it is around $5200 per quarter. Domestic students can apply to residency, however, international students are not allowed to. If your are international, it's $5200 per quarter plus $16.000 international students' fee a year which can only be waived after you advance to candidacy. This means that admitting an international student would cost the school 16.000*4= $48.000 more than admitting a domestic student. Plus in some cases, English may not be your native language, and you may experience difficulties in teaching. I think private schools are easier because the tuition is the same in private schools.
