Notes
It was actually quite a rude way to be rejected: they sent an e-mail stating that a decision is available, and asked me to log into my online app. to check. When I did as instructed, it says in red "Application status:" then in GIANT red all cap font: "DENIED"! Really... I am a hypomanic, and also got an interview from Irvine the night before, so I was okay. However, I can see others can be hurted and depressed about this sort of treatment. To be fair, there was also a link to a generic ("dear applicant") rejection letter that is more gentle...
