Applied Physics, Northwestern University Hi. Please decline NU ASAP if you have better choices. This waitlist is my only hope as I have been rejected by all the other 8 programs I have applied......(It is such a big disaster this year) Thanks for your kind help.

Information, University Of Toronto Moved off the waitlist. This is my 5th year applying to Phd programs, in the past all rejections aside from one failed waitlist from truly mediocre schools. My advice is to just keep going, no matter how sad and frustrating this process is. If you just keep trying and working your ass off revising your SOP and sample, you will find the right place and advisor for you. It took me forever, but I am glad it did because ended up in this incredible program with the perfect advisor for my research. Lots of tears, anger, and frustration over the years. Good luck to everyone else who has been through it. Try again and again and again and again.

Political Science, Temple University As of today, nobody has accepted Temple's (funded!) offer for the Poli Sci Phd Program - if you plan on not going here, can you please let them know? Some of us actually have this as our first choice school and are languishing on the waitlist. Y'all aren't being the people Mr. Rogers thought you could be.

Environmental Health Sciences, University Of Massachusetts, Amherst Had an interview with the AdCom in January. "The faculty in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences have considered your application for admission to the Graduate School at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and have carefully evaluated all your supporting credentials. I regret to inform you, however, that they did not recommend your admission to the Doctor of Philosophy for the Fall 2024 semester. We receive many qualified applicants each year for a limited number of spaces. We appreciate the interest you have shown in the University of Massachusetts Amherst and wish you the best of luck as you continue your educational career."

Philosophy, University Of Utah Hi everyone, since we only have eleven days until the acceptance deadline we should all help each other out and turn down any offers we won't accept and ask to be removed from any waitlists that we won't accept. I've turned down an offer, but I'm currently on six waitlists that I would accept prior to my current offers (I'm deciding between the two that I'm holding onto but will turn one of them down very soon). I am very stressed but if we all turn down the offers we don't want then we could start a chain reaction which could hopefully get a lot of people off of waitlists prior to the fifteenth. I, along with a lot of other people I'm guessing, really don't want to accept an offer on the fourteenth and hear back from a school that I'd prefer to go to on the fifteenth. Anyways, sorry for my rant, I'm sure you all understand. Regarding Utah, I was told that I was on the 'reserve list', or the hidden waitlist. So my odds don't look great there.

Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech The ME department accepted me 3 weeks ago. Still haven't received the official letter. They said all international applications go through "an audit" and it hasn't been completed yet in my case. Does anyone know how long this "audit" takes?

Computer Science, Syracuse University I appreciate your interest in attending graduate school at Syracuse University. After careful review and evaluation of your qualifications, I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ph.D. for Fall 2024 term. We received many outstanding applications, and the selection process was highly competitive. As such, please do not be disheartened by this decision, as it does not diminish the value of your accomplishments or potential. I encourage you to explore other opportunities and continue your pursuit of academic and professional growth. Indeed, many candidates who are not admitted are ultimately successful by finding another graduate program that is just the right the fit for them. Once again, I appreciate your interest in our Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ph.D., and wish you all the best in your future academic and career endeavors.

Philosophy, University Of Toledo Got an email from the grad director. Although stated multiple times on their website that almost all of their students receive assistantships, the email revealed that they will be giving out 0 assistantships. Their website directly contradicts their offer in every way.

Electrical And Computer Engineering, University Of Waterloo I am honestly shocked to get this decision because of two things: 1. I have good amount of work experience in reputed companies and tons of extracurricular. 2. The people who got in have less GPA and almost no work experience and no GRE. I noticed that the people who got in are the people who also applied to Co-Op but got rejected. So, it could be that? I don't know. I will never know. Congrats to all the successful applicants :)

Clinical Psychology, Hofstra University I’m just wondering if anyone else has been waitlisted at the school and you are still waiting for an offer or rejection. And for those with offers, are you going to reject or attend? We are all waiting for you.

Physics, North Carolina State University I don't feel sad because I have got admits from a couple of better universities. But this was one of my safe schools. I wonder whether admission into PhD Physics has become too competitive this year. Especially if you are not from CME (I am from CME). Applicants next year must be super-conservative while applying. And I also wonder why this is so. Physics has recently been suffering from a dearth of funds but it seems as if we have become poorer all of a sudden.

Electrical Engineering, University Of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign This semester we received a large number of applications for entry into our graduate program. Most of these applicants are well qualified for study and research at the graduate level. However, because of our limited instructional and research facilities we are not able to admit all qualified applicants. We regret to inform you that on the basis of the recommendation of the Graduate Admissions Committee, we are not able to offer you admission to our graduate program. We trust that you will find an alternative path to achieve your academic goals.

Physics, Some Universities [Ignore Waitlist] After sending a couple of inquiry emails to some schools that have not responded to me, got some updates and I suddenly realized my graduate applications for Fall 2024 come towards the end. This is my second application year, I applied to 15 schools last year and got all rejected, one school even rejected me twice(after an initial rejection, they said they wanted to reconsider my application, arranged a short interview, and rejected me again after two weeks). I can still remember the all-rejected day (April 24, 2023). Once I decided to try another year, I did everything I possibly could to improve my application package, including strengthening my research experience, getting good LOR writers, etc. Fortunately, this effort paid off, I got 3 offers this year (going to decline two of them shortly) and I don't give a damn about those rejections. I spent two freaking years on this website checking updates, multiple times, every single day during the application period and I am sure this will be my last time on this website. The point I want to make here is it doesn't matter how "screwed" you think you are right now, You have all the things you need to clear this up, reset yourself and try it again. Wish you all the best of luck with your applications and future endeavors! (subfield: CME)

Computational Linguistics, University Of Washington 3.17 Overall 3.3 Major Undergrad Linguistics major with 4 classes in compling and cs, had received 3 interviews for compling entry level jobs before applying, one internship, none gave me an offer either. I guess not enough programming background and never took statistics, maybe GPA too, had 1 stupid F, 1 stupid D, and 1 stupid C on transcript that should have all been As which would bump me up to around 3.7/3.8 major and 3.6/3.7 overall. no research no publications, 2 letters of recommendation from ling professors, but non cs or compling who were horrible at my school unluckily. was a shot in the dark, not applying here again

American Studies, University Of Minnesota IGNORE STATUS - Has anyone heard from UMN American Studies at all???? I feel like I'm going crazy the website says "applicants can expect to be notified of admission decisions during the month of February" but it's almost April and when I talked to them last (a few weeks ago) they said I would hear by 3/22.

Nutrition Epidemiology And Data Science, Tufts University This school sucks! They even didn't send me an email to let me know I should check the portal. I check the portal by myself. Long wait, and ignored all my emails to ask the status. I've been already accepted to a better fit school.
