How does the acceptance take place?
1. Do they call people who got admitted? Or just email them?
2. Do they also call international students who got admitted? Or just email them? (I'm asking since I'm in Israel..it's 7-10 hours later than in the US)
3. Is Friday the deadline?
4. If one hasn't heard back by then is one automatically denied? Or is one to get an email?

Is it true that they can keep people on the WL until school starts? It wouldn't matter as people need to get ready for next year if they're denied but still..
Sorry for rambling..just wanted to be sure that the sleepless night will end anytime soon
Thanks

Hello from Lebanon! Here's hoping that things don't escalate into another needless war :(

While I'm not qualified to answer your questions, I would posit that the sleepless nights won't be ending too soon for most wait-listers. The reason being that wait-listers obviously take the place of admitted applicants who decline attendance. Logically, the majority of these should not be as close to the decision notification deadline as the applicant response deadline. With that said, it is widely accepted that Round 4 has room for very few admits in the first place, leaving even fewer spots to be declined and filled by wait-listers. On the other hand, there are always some who declared intent to matriculate, put down their deposits, moved off a wait-list at another school they preferred over UT, and change their mind, opening another spot for a wait-lister. This last scenario seems to potentially go on throughout the summer.

Soooo, yea let's not hold our breath just yet ;)

There's one thing you forgot my neighborino to the north :-) - International students need to get notified by a certain deadline - after which they cannot get their VISA issued :-)

Yea I did forget. I guess I'm lucky as a dual citizen to not have to worry about that. When is the Visa deadline?

I think that this kind of messages, which is neither a question nor an additional information, is unnecessary hailmary. I understand your situation - we're on the same boat - but saying that wouldn't improve our chances or worsen it. The only thing it does is making people here feel worse.

Thanks for your consideration

there have been some declines this week out of the waitlist. So, no news is better than bad news.

LOL I feel ya hailmary..I've been dreaming that I'm waking up and getting the "Denied" email every morning..
When you get to a point that you dream about waking up before you actually do it - you know you're going through something way too rough

Ditto. Same email, same "wearing of waiting" feeling. Not sure I can wait another month.
