Can you afford (not "afford with loans" or "afford with certain spending restraints" but "afford," full stop) to pay a year's full-freight tuition in exchange for a fairly small chance of getting to move into the program officially? If yes, then I suppose there are worse things you could be doing. There are almost certainly a lot of better things you could be doing, though.

philosophe Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 A few CUNY rejections are on the results pg, one says solicited but the other has no notes. If this was you, did you solicit as well? I emailed them last week and they said they were still finalizing... this is my last school, can't wait for the process to be done with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialectica Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well. I've recieved the rest of my rejections (assuming Stanford doesn't reply to my solicitation with a miraculous offer). Looks like I'm dependent on getting in off the waitlists at Indiana and Syracuse; so, please, if you can free up a spot for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. This was an incredibly rough year for folks coming out of MA programs—seemingly unprecedented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Indiana completely blows me away during my visit I'll probably decline my spot from high up on the wait list. (Also, we have the same interests, which should help).

And despite my being in the middle of these waitlists, your declining your offers can only serve to help.

Schwarzwald Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Last time I solicited BU was 18 days ago. Is that enough time for them to have forgotten who I am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidspring Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I presumed a rejection from Stanford.

I solicited last Friday and a got a prompt response - the committee is "still working on" official letters, but if you haven't heard from them you were not admitted or wait listed.

SamStone Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I just saw that there were some rejections notifications from Boston University this week, but I haven't heard anything from them.

Just to reply to myself (in the case that anyone else is in this situation): I emailed the director of admissions at Boston University and he told me that I am on a 'secondary waitlist'. I'm guessing that there are pretty low chances any sort of offer will come of this, but its nice to know whats going on instead of just speculating.
