Franzkafka Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 26 minutes ago, Dialectica said: Thanks for this. But, it needs to be said: some people definitely sit on offers they know they won't take. It happens every year. I knew someone in at a top-5, knowing they would be taking that offer, but sitting on amazing offers all over the PGR. They simply weren't taking the time to do it, and that's worrisome. I also know a guy who is waitlisted at several places he won't go, because he has already received a very good offer. However, he will wait and see whether the waitlist turns to be an offer.

For peace of mind, I'll assume the best of people and hope they are in @Tecumseh Valley's situation. But let's try to encourage those that are not to do the right thing—decline offers in a timely manner.
goldenstardust11 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) ouch. For my part, I'll be declining as I know, but most of my decision is coming down to visits, so that takes a while. Good luck to everyone on waitlists! Pulling for you for U-Mass, @Dialectica ! Edited March 10, 2017 by goldenstardust11 Dialectica, Ibycus and Tecumseh Valley 3

I also noticed that in the past, South Florida has sent out acceptances sporadically. I must have been on one of those hidden but now not hidden waitlists haha! I'm 7th in line for funding, but it says accepted. Thanks for the positive thoughts a few days ago! Naruto 1

Lets keep our fingers crossed @Dialectica Yes, I'll be hoping with you! Am I ahead of you? Are you ahead of me? Were you told anything as to your place on the waitlist? Edit: I just saw your other reply to me in the other thread. I was hoping you were given more information. In any case, I'll be sure to keep you updated as to any movement on the waitlist!
