Why are waitlists not moving? Will we all only hear back on April 15th at 11:58pm? This process is so cruel. And you know why? It's because people are not letting go of multiple offers, and prefer to make everyone else suffer. Well, I'm glad you guys have done so well, but I also hope you suffer sometime later in your life too.

HAS ANYONE BEEN REJECTED FROM UCLA?

sending much love to everyone in limbo rn! hang in there, it's nearly over!

Undergraduate major GPA: 3.7, Graduate GPA: 4.0 (MA, Philosophy) Accepted off the waitlist. I'm still waiting on one more possibility.

Though Prof. Nathan told me by email that I had only 'very slim chance' to be admitted, official waitlist was given. If you have worries to decide whether to go there, please do me a kind to decline it, for I really need this offer to get formal training in analytic philosophy. You must have a better place to go!

To the Yale commenter below: Much appreciated! Thank you for comment. I am waitlisted for 3 schools -- please keep it moving people!

IGNORE WAITLIST: Does anyone know when one should expect results for the MA at CUNY> The deadline is tomorrow which seems super late

Important news for those still waiting to hear on waitlists: in these instances, no news is often good news. 99% of the time, programs will notify you in some way if they do not think they will be able to accept you. If you have not yet been rejected off of the waitlist, there is a chance you may be admitted, probably on the 15th (this applies especially if you have been waitlisted at a ~PGR-25 program and up). The 15th is ALWAYS a shitshow, maybe more so this year due to the pandemic. ALSO NOTE: if you have not contacted the DGS at the program where you have been waitlisted, now is a very good time to do so (be polite, but ask about your chances and when you can expect to hear back).

Accepted off the wait-list

Ah yes, I am also a baby. But luckily the doctor smacked enough understanding on my ass that I don't ask like an asshole.

Hi all! I was waitlisted last month. At this point, Tufts is my last chance to get into a program this cycle. If you have been offered a place but do not plan on accepting your Tufts offer, please notify them sooner rather than later. Thank you!

hi all -- this is a long shot, but if anyone else is thinking about declining stanford, I would really really appreciate it! stanford is my dream program that fits perfectly with my interests. none of the other programs I've been admitted/waitlisted at have faculty working in my interests at the intersection of epistemology, mind, language, and history of philosophy over the past hundred years, but stanford has many professors I want to work with in these areas. if I don't get into stanford this year, I'm going to have to reapply next cycle. I was also born and raised in the bay area, and going to stanford would mean that I can stay near my family and close friends, which is especially important to me during the pandemic. my mom lives alone, is in her 60's, and doesn't have any family nearby, so I want to stay close to her as long as I can. if you decline, I can't express how much I'd appreciate it!

An email to notify checking the portal. Out of waitlist, intially high but not 'very high' in the later cycle.

Received an email saying "very high on the waitlist". Just received an email notifying status change. Portal status changed to "rejected".

Off the waitlist. Will accept.

Remain on waitlist. Has anyone else heard? If anyone has an offer and is not planning to accept, please let them know to help us on the waitlist. Thanks and good luck.

Previously on waitlist. Accepted offer. Looks like there may be another offer for those still waitlisted.

Rejected off the waitlist

i'm sure the point of this survey is not to i) make sarcastic unfunny posts about the waitlist that are borderline classist/racist or ii) express whether you are glad at any certain point (hot take but enjoying someone else's misfortune is pretty negative..)

Does anyone who was accepted to the program and was offered funding know their plans to accept or not? Thanks.
