When you get reject by a phone call...ugh

Seriously? I'm so surprised a school would do that. Sorry to hear it. Have you heard from any of your top schools?

Thankfully it was my last choice and at 100k for tuition I don't think I would have gone. I am wait listed for everything at this point :(

@hopefullygc which one did you not hear back from?

I haven't heard back from BU yet! I'm guessing that means that I was rejected or on the bottom of the waitlist.

@hopefullygc yeah I haven't heard back from them either :( hopefully they contact us soon

It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one! I saw someone had gotten an acceptance from them on the survey thread, so I was just a little concerned. They're towards the bottom of my list and I've already gotten an acceptance at one of my top schools, but I still want to know.

@hopefullygc Yeah me too haha. BU is actually one of my top choices so hopefully I'll at least be waitlisted. Which program do you plan on attending?

At the moment Pitt is at the top, both in terms of schools I want to go to, and because I have been accepted, but I'm still on the waitlist at a few other schools that are also my top choices. What about you?

I'm waiting to hear back from BU too.  It's my top choice so I'm getting really antsy.  Heard back from the other schools and haven't been accepted anywhere yet.

@b5b7 they refuse to tell me my position on the waitlist, which really annoys me.

I've been wondering about that as well, but didn't ask when I got the calls. I'd like to assume the waitlists are fairly short with some schools only accepting 5-10 students... I feel guilty holding multiple spots on wait lists :(

I wouldn't feel bad holding multiple wait list spots, you never know which ones will open up, hopefully there's some more movement soon! I was in the same spot last year and sitting on the wait list can be torturous...

It's not a bad idea to turn down wait lists you don't want even if you were to be accepted: that makes it more likely that others get in to those schools and turn down the ones you really want. Though of course it can be hard to let go when you don't have any acceptances; hang tough, y'all.

I wonder if a good amount of people actually get in from the wait list.

@SuitCase from what I've heard, it's not uncommon for people to be accepted off of waitlist. Keep thinking positive thoughts!

Only interviewed by Northwestern.  No news from them at all. No wait listed or rej? Well, I guess I would be rejected anyway. I decided to go to Carnegie Mellon U for computational biology anyway. I guess most of u would never go back to the forum after getting the result (so do I): ) Hoping to get in touch with everyone. Please leave your emails to me if you like. My email: fanyinyi@sina.com

@gc21 Do you plan to go to Pitts' MPH program? If so, we are pretty close: )

Hi @HettyFan

Yes i have accepted the offer for mph program in pitts and I will be starting this fall. Rejected by SLC as well. I guess my application was not that competitive given the fact that i didnt had enough experience.
