Hi everyone! I'm writing to see if anyone is in a similar situation with UC3M's postgraduate admissions and can shed some light, because I'm running out of time.
I applied for a Master's at Carlos III a few months ago. In mid-March, I was notified that I was placed on the "Waitlist" and that my application would be re-evaluated along with the ones from the second evaluation period (which is supposed to close now in April). Today is April 30th, the portal was a bit unstable a while ago, but my status is still frozen as "Waitlist". I haven't received any email, neither an acceptance nor a rejection.
I just got accepted into my plan B, but they are asking me to pay a non-refundable reservation fee next week. I am on a strict budget and I can't afford to pay that deposit and then lose the money if UC3M says yes a few days later.
For those who applied in this second period in April or were on the waitlist: Has anyone received any official notification from UC3M today or recently? Also, based on past years' experiences, do you know if UC3M usually takes the first few days of May to update the portal after the April "deadline", especially considering the long weekend coming up in Spain?
Any experience or info would be super helpful to know if it's worth holding out a few more days or if I should just secure my spot at my other option. Thanks!
