Wait-listed at my #1 and accepted to a decent but not ideal program. I, too, really don't like making the other school wait. I wish I could know where I am on the wait-list -- is it appropriate to email them (maybe in a week or so, or late March if I haven't heard) to find out more specifically where I rank? Is that too pushy? What scares me is that I know someone currently enrolled in my #1 program who got off wait-list on April 14th . Moreover, my colleague heard from his school that same day too a few years ago. I'm really hoping that does NOT happen! Expand I'm in exactly the same boat. I told my POI that I would wait until April 15th if I had to (or is it 17th this year?) but I feel bad about keeping my current acceptance on hold until then. OptimiscallyAnxious 1

I can see the ups and downs of making it a match-like system but I certainly agree that the current system leaves room for improvement.

Expand I'm curious but if you don't mind me asking, was it because of the funding? I'm in a situation right now (different program) where I really like this school, research, students but it's a partially funded program with no future guarantees.

I've decided I'm going to go to the partially funded program if I'm not accepted elsewhere because I can handle it financially without taking on any debt. But it's still a lot of money, so I'm really hoping I get accepted off a waitlist.

AuntieGrandma Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 It seems as though waiting to hear about funding is a common hold up on decision making. I'm not sure if this is this same as previous years but it really seems to be a theme. I, like many others, am still waiting for funding from one of my schools that I was accepted at. I expect that the funding will be better than my other acceptance, but I have no way of knowing for sure so I can't reject the other offer yet. In addition, I am waitlisted at 2 wonderful schools and haven't heard a word. Anyone else finding this to be an issue?

It was a really great surprise, to say the least.

ogd Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Hey everyone, I was recently waitlisted for the University of Hartford PSYD program. Has anyone else been waitlisted for this program and heard if they're giving out some type of ranking for the waitlist? Just wondering how far down I am. Also, has anyone been accepted to Hartford's PSYD program and thinking about declining? Good luck everyone!
linxing Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Hi, I'm waitlisted at 2 programs and got accepted in nowhere. I really hope I could get off the waitlist. Has anyone got accepted to CUNY BASP program and plan to decline the offer?

HopefullyDr Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I inquired about my wait list position at USU (my top choice) and I am in the middle of the list. Should I give up hope?
