sorry, Clinical Psychology PhD
is this clinical, counseling, or another track? Thanks!
I found out I am waitlisted for UVa. I have sent an email inquiring about my current placement on the waiting list. I am hoping I am in high ranking because this school is my top choice. I am really worried because I have not heard anything official from other schools other than 2 rejections. I am really hoping this follows through!
This process is so draining but I still have hope!!
What is an appropriate response after receiving an email about being waitlisted from one's POI?
I was just informed that I am on the waitlist at a school that I really am interested in (School A), but I also have an offer at another school that was one of my top choices (School B). In the email from School A, the POI mentioned that I should "let her know" if I am seriously considering any other offers. I AM seriously considering School B, but I also WOULD consider School A if they made me an offer.
What is the right way to respond to an email like this? Tell her about School B, but also say that I am still interested in School A? Does having another offer make you more desirable/put some urgency on the situation, or does it make it seem like even if they DO give you an offer, you might say no? Ugh. And I thought the stressful part of this process was over!

That seems like an unfair position for them to put you in.. =/

My guess: There is a high chance that #1 (the accepted student) bails on School A for another acceptance since whatever makes em #1 there probably makes em #1 elsewhere. Perhaps the POI wants to rank at #2 another excellent candidate who would sooner choose to attend the program over someone who is going to hold the acceptance only to turn it down later; picking the latter potentially endangers the POI's chances of bringing in a good fit from the waitlist who at that point may have given up and accepted an offer elsewhere. Does that make sense?
Or... Perhaps your POI is just a bully.
Yes times a million.This process is a calculated feeding frenzy from both sides.
The chair of a psychology department basically told me that this is the case. They don't want to extend a second round offer to someone who is going to reject, because then they should just go to their 3rd choice candidate. If the 2nd choice candidate sits on the offer for too long, or even if the process of extending an offer takes a good chunk of time, then the 3rd choice candidate might be gone, and the POI could be left with their 6th or 7th choice, or potentially not getting a student that year at all.
This process is a calculated feeding frenzy from both sides.
Waitlisted at University of North Texas
Email from DCT on 3/1
waitlisted at the University of North Dakota, notified by e-mail from DCT, 3rd alternate
This is my first year applying, and after attending 4 interviews for PhD, it appears that all of the programs have notified applicants who have been accepted/waitlisted. Is there a possibility of being notified that I have been waitlisted at a later date from a program? Or do most programs send out these notifications all at once?
Clinical PhD... sorryWhat type of program is this?
This is for a clinical PhD as well.what type of program is this? clinical? counseling? psyD?
Definitely. Me.Is anyone else going absolutely bonkers waiting?? gah
Definitely. Me.
I don't know how much longer I can take the indecision!
Got an email stating that I was an alternate at Tennessee State University Counseling PhD program. Post interview.
Waitlisted at Rugters PsyD program
notified via email from program admin 3/6/12
The letter said we could call and ask our ranking but when I called the woman said she didn't have rankings, only names.... Frustrating!!!
Please kindly answer to my questions
Today I got email that I am in alternate list , can any body tell me this is deference between waiting list and alternate list?
Until when we have to be wait to get our final result? how many percantage is to get addmission in alternate list?
If it was me I would call my top choice and inform them that I have another offer but they are still my top choice so should I continue to hold out. See if you can get a sense of their interest in you.I was waitlisted over a month ago with no interview at my top choice, and I've been given an offer elsewhere and I really want to accept them because they seem to really want me and they also want an answer soon...
Should I call my top choice? If I do, what should I ask?
Or.. Is it safe to say they probably won't take me?
I really want to give this school an answer soon!
