- Notes
- Genuinely have no idea what went wrong. Had excellent connections in this department, had spoken multiple times with a potential advisor, gotten advice from the head of graduate studies on what I needed to add to my application. Rejection email said that there were people who weren't a fit with potential advisors, but I know that cannot have been me as my potential advisor was very excited to work with me. Was my dream school so I am incredibly shocked and disappointed. 1a/4r
