Yes, the person I spoke with told me to email Laurie Paul. She said it was highly unlikely I would be accepted (I was third on the wait list for one spot) and that she wouldn't know for definite until after 5. So, I just made a decision. I am delighted.

Yay! Congratulations! ?

Waiting very anxiously to here some good news from Syracuse. If you are planning on declining their offer or taking yourself off the waitlist, please do so at your earliest convenience. 

Edit: @R614 Just saw your post. Thank you and congrats!

Thanks! I'm not sure if this helps, but I was told a few days ago that I was "somewhere around 10th" on the waitlist at Syracuse. Good luck and hope it works out for you!

It would be sick if CUNY gave people on the waitlist some indication of what's happening. I mean nbd, but it's midnight in Germany, and I can't stay up indefinitely.

Then again, I guess not every program can be on top of their squanch.

Dr. Roochnik at BU emailed me earlier in the afternoon to say that the department still hasn't hear back from everyone who received an offer, so they won't be able to assess the waitlisters until the weekend / Monday. Please oh please, if you're planning on declining, do it sooner rather than later so that the rest of us can cry / celebrate promptly?

[Dialectica]

It's official. Shut out. Rejected off the Syracuse waitlist earlier today.

No clue whatsoever. But from what I'm gathering, BU digs into its wait list pretty substantially every year... There's still hope! If they ever email us back, that is.

I just got off the WL at Notre Dame, will decline BU very soon. It is so difficult for me, because BU is a such a wonderful place with passionate people. I wish you guys all the best!

In at BU off the waitlist. Time to sleep for a million years and maybe not have nightmares for once.
