Some will tell you whether you are high, middle, or low on the list. Others just say whether you're high. While others don't say anything. But, almost always, you can ask where you are on the waitlist and they will tell you. Though, some waitlists are not ranked so cleanly; some are in groups on the basis of AOI mano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I meant to ask was whether they tell it even if one does not solicit (if they do, I guess it is only because one is really high on the list).

I've searched through the results and seen only acceptances and rejections, plus there was a result from last year stating Princeton does not waitlist people. Anyone? Or has anyone even heard of others who are waitlisted at Princeton (perhaps in the FB group, which I'm not in)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the information I got was that there was a "reasonable chance based on previous history they could make me a full fellowship offer" though Prof. Bricker couldn't predict what that chance was exactly. Maybe I'll followup and ask if its a ranked waitlist etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eigenname Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Officially waitlisted at Irvine's LPS program - ~60 students applied, ~1/3 were offered admissions, exactly 21 students on an unordered waitlist. A 'small subset of applicants' from the waitlist might be offered admissions depending on how the offer holders turn out. May the quantum chances favor me...

franz Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Have a feeling I'm on some kind of a hidden waitlist at the New School for Social Research. Judging from the results page, it looks like a decent number have already heard from them, and this is later than when I got a rejection last year. They said a couple weeks ago that they would have a decision by yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumHaven Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have some more information about what might happen at UNC. One of my letter-writers contacted some friends at UNC and they told him that I am waitlisted and will be notified of my status on April 2nd. In conjunction with the other information on this forum, I figure that the visit days probably end on the 1st or 31st, and at that point they will feel comfortable making the hidden waitlist explicit. (One piece of information that doesn't fit into this picture is Witsclaw being waitlisted just last Wednesday, after the first-round waitlists who were presumably funded to visit, and before the unfunded hidden waitlist is revealed. Maybe he has more info?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
