I wish, but no. the waitlist is not ranked
As first years, we're all going through this now! It doesn't seem like there's a typical summer- I have friends who are getting married and taking the summer off, some that are working through school programs and staying in Worcester, and some heading abroad via funding for most of the summer. That does seem to be a popular choice, as it's pretty easy to get funded to work/language study abroad (Especially through the Multicultural Pathway, which you guys will hear about, but really anyone can get funding!)
As for paid research, etc: Aside from finding research projects on your own (which is very do-able, with lots of funding opportunities), there are 2 main programs that students apply through. One is a service-learning program, which includes placements working in different agencies or clinics, or things of that nature. It's shorter but not really research-based, though projects can come out of it. The other is for research- anything from clinical to bench, with a published list of available projects. Both of these are funded! It seems that everyone who is interested in a project/program will get funded, but I don't know for sure.
From talking to second years, it seems like anything or nothing is a good option! Traveling, working, research, or lounging around. But there are plenty of opportunities!
P.S. COME TO SECOND LOOK!

If you call, they will not tell you. But it has been estimated from previous threads to be somewhere between 100-150. I know that range sucks, I want to know, too.
Absolutely. From past years it looks like they give out waitlists on more than one friday in April: some early in the month, and some later in the month. Doesn't sound like any news went out today, so it looks like we're onto the next one, or the one after that. Typically rejections don't go out until may, so most likely WL, maybe a few acceptances in one of the coming April Fridays. Just a guess based on skimming the 08-09 and 09-10 threads, though
wow. good call. guess I was wrong
congratulations. Also, I'm jealous
did it change on the website, or did you get an email?
for something. good luck everyone
