Inquired about status via email, received generic email the following day

accepted off the waitlist! i got super lucky that a spot opened up out of nowhere. Time to make a decision!

Has anyone received word on when invitations for interviews will be sent out?

I saw this coming. Didn't hear anything from them for over 2 months (deadline January 15), so I had assumed I wasn't getting in.

I agree with the poster below...been checking the SGS website every day now for my application status - I just want to know, either way!!

Extremely excited!! This is my first offer and also one of my top choices!!

I will most likely decline this offer, great research/program/students/mentor, very tough decision

Great program but not the right fit for me so I'll be freeing up this spot for others! Good luck everyone!

waiting to see my aid award...i think it comes by the end of this month

So I received an email, same as the poster below me stating that I would be considered for the Spring 2018 semester. I called the admissions office because I wanted to learn more information and was told that it was basically a wait-list for those who applied for the Fall since they had more qualified students than open spots for the program. I was also told that my application would have to reviewed again by the admissions department for the Spring semester and then I would receive a final decision. I don't feel any type of way about it since it was not an outright rejection.

Received email stating "the number of applicants far exceeds the number of seats available" but "The Committee has determined you are a strong candidate for the program and has recommended you for admission in the Spring 2018 semester."
