I declined acceptances from Northwestern (funded), Ohio State, University of Washington (funded), University of Wisconsin - Madison, Indiana University, Rush University, and Northeastern University (funded). That should hopefully clear up some spaces on a few waitlists!

Received a rejection email and was told that I will also receive a notification about my rejection from the graduate school as well. Got it an hour ago. Not too beat up about it though, it was the second to last school I applied to and tbh I was feeling pretty "meh" about it by then. Good luck to everyone else!
