They mentioned it's changing constantly(people declining to be on it or people accepting their acceptance, etc) Pacific has a ranked one it seems since there's a tier one and others don't have a ranked one. Haha I've already told Diana it's my top school and asked questions. I hope it did something. I would also make connections with other professors, you don't know who will go up to bat for you and really all you need is a person to be your advocate!!! best of luck!

Ive gotten rejected from 8 other schools so far! This whole process sucks.

jmk Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Most folks won't get off a waitlist until after April 15th. The week after April 15th I expect a chunk to get acceptances, and then after that it's a very slow trickle. I still haven't even heard from Pacific, haha.
Akon Posted March 14, 2017 Author Posted March 14, 2017 I got another waitlist from another small program (TWU) today lol... But no ranking this time! However, TWU's email said they are making people accept or decline their offer by March 29th so that makes me feel a little bit better... I do believe that with Pacific's Waitlist it's Tier One and then everybody else (who is on the waitlist) - based on wha I've seen on the results page and I personally know three other people on the waitlist who didn't get any tier information. However I do wonder how many people they waitlisted - I'm starting to think it's closer to 40 people total. I mean there had to be almost 200 interviews they conducted... I also believe that my chances of getting off the waitlist are slim because I haven't heard of anybody being offered admission that isn't accepting BUT c'est la vie!

I've heard from different programs that they waitlist about half of their acceptances. For example, if they want a cohort size of 30 they will probably send out 40 or so offers and then 20 on the waitlist! Hope this helps and I really hope you get in!!!! wannabslp 1

I have yet to hear anything. Is everyone else on this thread still in the dark? I'm expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. Admission results page? Where did you find this? Do you mind sharing?

wannabslp Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Anyone of anyone denying their place of the waitlist or rejecting their acceptance to Pacific?

wannabslp Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 She's difficult to get ahold of during all of this. I think that's a good thing because before I had heard anything, she didn't email be back then I got waitlisted.

I don't understand why the e-mails wouldn't be sent to you guys on batches based on a list. Why would it take over a week unless they are personalizing every single e-mail as they go? Seems unnecessary to handle it this way. I'm sorry!
jemooley Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I have also heard nothing from Pacific and I'm slowly going crazy.

jmk Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 It makes me feel better that others haven't heard back as well. I think I'm going to refrain from emailing until April 3rd (first Monday in April) which is going to be my universal email all programs I haven't heard back from date, hahaha. SLPsingballs 1

jmk Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Finally heard back from Pacific via email today, unfortunately a rejection. I wasn't feeling too hot about my chances after seeing so many others already get notifications, but I'm glad I finally heard something!

I'm sorry to hear you got a rejection but I bet you're happy to have some closure as hanging in limbo is the worst! Good luck with the rest of the schools you're waiting on! jmk 1
