Wait listed via E-mail on 11 Apr 2023

Note

To all applicants. Unis are having a difficult time taking people from the waitlist because they receive too few responses from the admitted students. The DGS I contacted said almost nobody got back with a solid response when I contacted her in mid-March. To quote from another post -- "I understand that the people holding onto their offers are waiting to hear back but this in turn is holding back the entire admissions process by giving less time for second-round offers and hurting other waitlisted applicants. We are at a stalemate. The only resolution is to drop the schools you KNOW you would not attend. Weigh your odds with your reach schools but try to decline some if you can. This will finally start moving the waitlist and in turn, you WILL hear back from your waitlisted schools. It's either we all cooperate and hear some good news or we don't and nobody gets into any of their waitlisted schools."
