Now if only I could turn some of those into acceptances... Same. Did you apply to PNP? Weird their waitlist isn't ranked... trying to figure out how extensive the list is.

Weird their waitlist isn't ranked... trying to figure out how extensive the list is. I am guessing 30ish based on emails with the DGS, but they wait list by area (ethics, cogsci, etc.). If some ethics guy they accepted drops out, then someone on the ethics waiting list gets in. Someone doing cogsci who they accepted declines the offer, someone on the cogsci list gets in. So you might be on a shorter area of interest waiting list, 5-7 people or something. But then, there might only be 1 ethics "slot". They have 4-6 slots to fill overall and they thought that almost 40/170 applicants were qualified. They accepted more than 4-6 people, assuming someone would drop out, I guess. I think that means that even if people turn down their offer, there is no guarantee that you'll be bumped up on the wait list. But who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky. I am wait-listed at WUSTL too, and at Indiana. Edited February 23, 2016 by phiapplicant16

I'm taking this as good news since my other contact with a department was not. Did Gwen offer for you to visit Rice? She said I'm at the top of the wait list and invited me. But I will most likely turn down an acceptance even if I get it. If it means the next person on the wait list can have my invitation, I'll let her know immediately.

Thank you, that is very kind of you. She did not invite me to visit, but I asked her roughly the likelihood of an offer being made to me and she said that people have received offers in recent years in the spot I am located. So I am guessing middle of the waitlist maybe higher based on some of the positive feedback. She was being prudent not to give me false hope though, you never know if this year will be like recent ones or not. Do you know for sure yet if you are going to turn down an offer from Rice? I would say wait until you are fairly certain you are not going to attend. As much as I would appreciate moving up the list, I would also like for you to make the best decision. I will gladly wait. : )

MVSCZAR Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I got a Toronto waitlist! philstudent1992 1
philstudent1992 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Also waitlisted at Toronto :~) I was told that I could reasonably expect to be admitted, so I've got that going for me, which is nice. philstudent1991 1
atoz Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I just turned down two waitlist spots at Michigan and Oregon... hopefully this helps someone out!
502845824 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) What's up with the new Harvard waitlist? Shouldn't they admit some people before waitlisting?? Edited February 24, 2016 by oldhatnewtricks

limitsofourlanguage Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hi! This is my first time posting (I've been lurking for ages--you are all great!), but I can claim the Harvard waitlist! I got an email to check the website just a few moments ago, and a link to a (bizarrely poorly typeset) letter about the waitlist was available. Maybe that means they're sending out offers over the course of today?
