Crow T. Robot Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) @Mellowyellow, woo!!! Massive congrats!! I saw the Chicago acceptances on the survey and was hoping you were one! @punctilious, congrats to your husband! Definitely seconding/thirding/fourthing the wishes that someone in his field will bail. It's also cool that they let him know his position on the waitlist! @midwest-ford, yay, congrats! Western MA--especially the Pioneer Valley--is one of my favorite areas ever, and UMass seems like such a great program. @pronountrouble, congrats! I grew up just a few miles from BC and have nothing but great things to say about Newton. And congrats to anyone else I missed!! Edited February 1, 2018 by Crow T.

College Station is a very conservative area--much more so than most university towns. Austin and College Station are basically different worlds. That said, I would bet that you would spend most of your time with people in the department/university, other than when teaching, so it wouldn't necessarily be that bad. 1 Thank you for sharing! I had lived in the US only for about a couple of years and I was in California then. But as you said, it seems likely that I would spend most of my time at the university.

CanadianEnglish Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't know if this has been discussed or not, but do you guys know if schools send out the waitlist at the same-ish time as the acceptances? I know rejections can some sooner, or much later and it's usually all over the map for school, but what about waitlists? Also, congrats on all the acceptances today! Hopefully, the rest of the week goes well for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the rest of the week goes well for everyone! based on results sleuthing I'd say the norm is that waitlists come out very soon after acceptances, if not practically at the same time.

more.truly.more.strange Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 When I saw an email about an application decision, I was bracing myself for a rejection from Chicago or Berkeley (per the projected schedule) and was totally shocked by my Austin acceptance!
