Hi all I applied in R1 and had the interview in Dec 19. I was notified that i was put into the waitlist in Jan 8th and haven't heard anything since then.
Can anyone share any thoughts on waitlist. What is the latest date that I can receive a decision?
Thanks in advance

Admitted with fellowship too. But its still expensive because of the cost of living at OC and lack of assistantships.

Was admitted with $$ back towards end of February. I was given a month to decide. The school's admission and student ambassadors were super helpful and proactive in following up and answering any questions to help me make my decision. It was a great application experience and it really showed how much they care about their students.
I, however, won't be attending this year due to advancement in work. Just wanted to share with the wait listed guys. Don't give up hope!

Any news? Were any of the shortlisted students contacted/offered/denied?
Did anyone of you tried to contact adcom for updates?

Is there any hope left?
