Except this is worse than inJanuary/ February because we may not get an answer... You only hear if you get the "you're in" this time... Could be just left waiting forever (this is what I expect to happen to myself) 🙁
I see what you are saying! I've been stressing myself out by looking at past wait-list survivor threads, and I have not been able to find a single OSU wait-list survivor that posted (of course they exist) but not seeing the numbers is worrying!
Omg I did the same thing a month ago!! And I see the same results as you for WSU waitlisters 🙁 We Pacific Northwest hopefuls need to stick together! We have it rough! I think OSU's issue is such a small class size thus less people available to find out about SDN who applied there? Idk, that is my positive outlook on it.
I'm wait listed at OSU and WSU. Soooo planning on not getting in this year! Lol! Oh well, I've accepted it...so a "you're in" call/email would just be a great surprise, but not holding my breath. Good luck everyone!!
To help, I have a friend who is a second year who got in as #24 on the IS wait list, so don't fret too much 🙂
Ah! So scary!! Fingers crossed for all of us!
I just got called off of Auburn University's waitlist! So there is still hope 🙂
I got a call from Tennessee followed by an email this morning that I have been accepted off the wait list! I am super excited but my heart is still set on Mizzou!
I think it depends on the school, and even then it could be different for IS versus OOS. For example, I heard at Mizzou they call OOS for waitlisters, but give a regular acceptance packet to IS.
I think overall calls are pretty common though, because usually they don't give you a lot of time to decide after they notify you. If you are waiting on a school it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to call them and see how they usually handle their waitlisters, so that way you would have a peace of mind and a good idea of how they will contact you.
I wish I knew where I stood on ANY of my waitlists! I can only find out where I am on VMRCVM's waitlist after tomorrow, but the other two won't tell me 🙁

I can't believe it, I'm going to be a Hokie! Just received an email (they would have called but I live overseas) from Joyce over at Virginia Tech saying she anxiously wanted to talk to me... The offered me a seat in the class of 2018!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone had any news from UF? And congrats to those of you hearing so far!!!! 🙂
I'm in the OOS pool for WSU so hoping there have been some turn downs for those positions!!Not sure if anybody on here is waiting for WSU in the WICHE pool but just saw on their page that someone turned down a WICHE offer for WSU. Perhaps this will help someone out
Any CSU alternates:
They said today they'll start making offers to alternates beginning 3pm tomorrow.
Gulp.

I've been reading through this thread and others for a couple weeks, thank you everyone for sharing your experiences so far. I'm on the alternate list for Purdue (OOS) and rejected from my in-state school, so I don't know where I currently stand! Good luck to everyone!

Fish pixie: double-gulp! Where did you hear that news? I'm a CSU alternate as well and have been compulsively checking the online portal...
I went to the Build a Better Ap presentation given by Dr. Hardy today. She talked about the application process & mentioned it then.
I'm 100% with ya about checking the portal all the time. About had a heart attack when they posted the one communication that said " ACCEPTED STATUS- if your current admitted status is accepted......."
All I saw was the bold "ACCEPTED STATUS" & began to hyperventilate & shake. Then I looked more closely

That's kind of messed up that they would make it look like that haha. I would be so upset!
I kept thinking,"who does that??? Who would ever write it like that ?"

I hope you accepted the position you wanted! I have to thank you for this as #25 on ISUs waitlist!
Hahaha...that was rough. But honestly, every time there is a newly dated message I start getting excited. Thanks for the information! It is much appreciated.

Thanks! You too!
Thank you HIMYP! Illinois was still my top choice but I'm not going to complain... Now they better not end up calling me for an admission offer after I put down the deposit at Virginia Tech, I don't have a bunch of money laying around. I don't really mean that but that would be quite funny.

Happened to me. They called me like two days after I mailed my deposit to OK State.

Hi guys, long-time lurker here. This is my first post 🙂 Anxiously hoping for a phone call from Minnesota (#9 on the list)

Is anyone other than @ntorres and I waiting to hear from Illinois?!?! I just want to know if they've started going down their HUGE list (like 250+...and no idea where I am on it)!!!!!!!!!
I'm waiting too, but I haven't heard anything yet today. I'm really super ridiculously hoping I get a call sometime soon.
Waiting on Illinois as well. No word yet. So anxious!
😱 They have a list that big!? How many OOS spots do they have each year? This makes me feel better about the list that I'm on, even though mine isn't ranked lol
Everyone they interview is put on their waitlist...position unknown...
