Notes
(ignore waitlist): It is weird to me why are they rejecting people only when we send emails to ask for our status. Maybe they are holding those decisions because they want to hear back from those who got accepted first? I really don't like their system here. If they are going to reject people, then they should just send out the decision. If they want more flexibility to fill in the spots from those who declined the offer, then they can put some people on the waitlist. It's almost mid-March, and they made very little noise. This does not help the admission process to move forward at all. Guess we will all be stuck like this till April 14th. TTPB: Is there any more information you got from their reply? Like they are not planning on making any more offers.
