I am very high on the waitlist. Can everyone for whom MSU is not dominant please reject?

Waited too long, just for a rejection.

accepted w full funding GO BLUE!

I was waitlisted in March, I emailed to to ask my status. Heartbroken, this was my first choice.

MS CGPA 4.0/4.0. It was literally unexpected as I got acceptance from much higher ranked universities. 3 years experience in Academia. 11 publications.

Masters student. UM Alumni.

Received an email from the department. Have 1 first author publication and a few second authorships. Had a great SOP and probably the best research fit out of all my schools. 3A/2P/6R
