Loyola University Chicago

English, PhD (F24)

Rejected via Website on 01 Mar 2024

Note

Master's GPA was 4.0. Was somewhat taken aback by outright rejection; the admissions officer had stated that my application was awaiting review about a week ago, but that decisions would be made by the end of February. Given that someone with the same undergraduate and postgraduate grades as me was accepted, I figured that undergrad GPA wouldn't be an automatic disqualifier before review, but the number of waitlist offers from mid-February suggests that some applications weren't read before waitlist decisions were made, which kind of sucks.
