worried2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Three of my classmates heard back that they got it. Different schools of course. I’m the only one left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Kyo Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If I don't get any news from a university waitlisted me should I wait for the weekend to accept a offer from another school? DGS office would not work on weekend right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably waiting for candidates with offers - so it's all about those people who make last minute decisions. I think that was the case for me - probably took someone else's spot.

My school said decisions will be going out until May 31! I don't know if I can wait another month and a half, but I may have no choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasbee Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I just got in off the waitlist at my top choice!!! I'm in such shock right now honestly. Today has been such a rollercoaster - it started with waking up to an email reply from the program director of my top choice saying she didn’t know whether or not I’d hear back from them before April 15 and that I should ask my other school for an extension. Then I drafted an email to my second choice asking for an extension but before I sent it I got a phone call from their program director offering a fellowship with more money (and then I asked him about an extension and he said they probably wouldn't grant one). Then tonight I got an email from my top choice and I honestly can't believe it. I still have to hear back from professors at my top choice (I want to make sure they actually want me in their labs still) before i can say for sure that I'm going but today was a lot. I'm defending my undergraduate thesis in the morning and have yet to look at my presentation because this has all been so much wow.

I think that was the case for me - probably took someone else's spot. This is the most likely situation; however, this is not what happened with me. Due to time constraints and potentially some funding issues my advisor did not extend an offer to anyone in the first round, and I got the offer after everything was straightened out.

catsbloom Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It turns out my prospective department is not reviewing applications this week due to a conference. So they're not even notifying people until AFTER April 15th. I've been compulsively checking my application portal throughout the week for nothing.
