I know it is still very early on, but I am waiting to hear from 4 schools, 3 of which I had an interview at in October. I’m just curious, but do you think it’s better to be put on a waitlist on Dec. 1, or still not hear anything? I know every school is different!

I’m also definitely not the only one thinking this...

I was waitlisted at one, and didn't hear from 2. lol, either way, both of those are better than a rejection

Waitlisted > Not hearing back > Rejection

Do you guys think being waitlisted is based on when you submitted your application?

More to do with interview assuming your stats are around their average

Wow, I guess I didn't do well as I thought then! Thanks for the heads up though. I will keep working on my interview skills and continue hoping for some good news.
