Hello,

Congrats to those whom were accepted!

I had a question for those whom were accepted. How many days did you have to confirm/accept the invitation to enroll? I am asking because I was placed on the waitlist.

Thank you and good luck to everyone in their future endeavors.

Hi WheyTooMuch1337, Did you call to see where you are on the waitlist? I was also waitlisted. Fingers crossed! There is definitely still a chance of getting in, so try to stay positive.

Hello Sage18, yes I e-mailed them but have not heard back yet. Good luck to you!

Hey All, just found this forum and happy to talk to fellow applicants! I was also placed on the waitlist and I did get learn I'm number 7. I think checking back over the next few weeks to see if anyone has declined admission would be a good strategy. Especially since it sounds like folks had until the end of this week to do so? Stay positive!

Yep. I asked them how often they update the waitlist, and she said it is updated every time they pull someone from the list. Fingers crossed that people choose other schools!

Did you get to find out what number you are? It's a little encouraging that there are 31 people on the waitlist, as it means that at some time in the past there has been trouble filling spots from a shorter waitlist...

I'm currently #5. Looking at previous threads, it looks like they have pulled a few from the waitlist in the past.

Wooohoooo!!! I hope you get a spot! It'll mean I'm one step closer! Did you apply elsewhere?

[sage18]

Not for Fall. I will apply to other schools for Spring/Summer/Fall 2019. SFSU is my first choice, so I'm really really hoping that this works out. I'm trying to limit myself to calling once a week, but not sure how well that will work.

My friend just got off the waitlist, I think they are starting to pull from it, good luck to everyone !

That's awesome! Do you know what number your friend was?

[sage18]

Does anyone know if they separated the waitlists based on our specialty area, or if it is one waitlist for everyone?
