Notes
Non Canadian, I came on gradcafe to post about this rejection and then I saw the ones who too got rejected post a short note about their experience. I thought I was the only one ghosted because I too had a strong backup from the supervisor I was in touch with. He was extremely positive to take me on as his PhD candidate and then my last two emails I sent him after submitting my application was simply not responded to, I was ghosted completely. I felt so stupid because I was so sure about this and didn’t apply elsewhere thinking I would be betraying a potential supervisor who showed interest and now I’m left with no prospects. That’s on me and also a lesson learned.
