To the posters below: There is a forum for this. It takes two minutes to make an account

To the poster below: I did not apply to Houston, but this exact situation just happened to me. I had originally lost hope on getting into my top pick program, and accepted another offer a couple days before the deadline. But then, one day after the deadline, I got a call from my top choice program and they offered me admission. When I told them I was interested but had already accepted another offer, they made it sound like people withdrawal themselves from their original program all the time. The protocol that I was told to follow was to call them first and then follow it up with an email saying that you would like to withdrawal yourself, so that they have it in writing. This does happen frequently and schools know this! My original school understood and handled it professionally. Really, it was no big deal. Do what’s best for you!! But if you do want to accept your new offer, I’d let your original program know quickly so that way they can move on to the next person on their waitlist.

To the poster below there’s a ton of topics like this in the forum and the question is better suited for a discussion there. Best of luck to you though. Congrats on your acceptance!

SOOO... U of H is my ideal choice. I have family members whose health is declining, so I really needed to be home. On April 15th, I accepted an offer from another school because I didn't think UH would end up accepting me. The other school is more than twice the distance from my home and I was already having anxiety about the commuting/other financial, transportation, and family issues. I was considering letting them know I didn't think I could do the program after all and taking a year off. Then, UH e-mailed me on Friday that I'd been accepted off the waitlist. My heart says I need to go ahead and let the other school know I need to move in a different direction although words can't explain how bad I feel about accepting then rejecting an offer. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated but keep in mind that the ideal situation is that I don't have to go back on my word... but at what point is this more important than my living needs? idk.

Has anyone on the waitlist heard from UGA? I think I saw only one person post anything but I wanna double check. Hoping to hear back soon!!

Currently in waitlist purgatory! Any news from this school? Originally waitlisted but have not been told any information since. Any insights?

Interview on 2/21, Waitlisted on 4/1, Accepted on 4/17. Good luck to everyone and I hope to meet the rest of my cohort soon!! :)

Accepted off of the waitlist. I accepted at UT Health SA so I am a little confused as what to do. Taking the weekend to decide if I need to withdraw from UT Health SA.

Accepted off of waitlist!

For the poster who got off the waitlist at UGA...Did you get accepted on the 17th or today!?

accepted off the waitlist

Did not make it off the waitlist. Wasn’t surprised

I emailed them asking about my status and was told I am currently on the waitlist for an interview should a spot open up

Was on their priority waitlist, but was told early this morning that I was unable to be taken off the waitlist due to the cohort being full. I don't mind though I already accepted a different email and was going to ask to be taken off anyways.

Accepted off the wait list! Very appreciative but will be attending a different school. Hope this helps!

I called I think last Thursday/Friday and they said they were still waiting for the answers of some accepted students so I’m technically waitlisted. Anyone on the waitlist hear anything yet? I’m kind of thinking the worst since it’s a summer start

I was just accepted off the waitlist for MedSLP! I have until next Wednesday to make my decision. I was already prepared to go to a different school, but this was my dream school when applying. Will update if I end up denying the offer.

Has anyone made a Facebook page yet?

Accepted off the waitlist!! Super excited! Waiting for a few more waitlist decisions, but if not I will be accepting.
