This was the first time I applied to a phd program. Im not a recent college grad applying- I'm 34 and married in fact. I applied to 9 programs- never heard back from 1, got into one, and got waitlisted on another. The waitlist was my first choice. I spoke to the department yesterday and they told me that 100% of the offers were accepted and they never made it to the waitlist. So what happens now? Is that it-its over? I will definitely re-apply next year I am just wondering if its realistic to think that some folks said yes and may not go in the fall. I'm bummed because this program was really where I wanted to be and disappointed to be starting over again. This is my dream though so I will do what I must to make it work.
