- Just informed rejections. Not even a waitlist. I emailed them asking about timelines a while ago; no one emailed me back for weeks until this response: “Our Director of Graduate Studies has asked me to convey the following to you: We appreciate your interest in our program. We have made our initial round of offers and unfortunately you were not among them. We will not close the admissions process until we finalize all admissions decisions, but you should look to your other options at this point. Our applications were particularly strong this year, and we had to make several tough decisions. We think you have a lot to offer a graduate program, and we hope you are able to pursue one that is right for you.” Luckily I already made my decisions, but it seems like so late to leave people hanging (not even the waitlist! Just regular rejections!)
