Notes: They have sent me an email saying, "view your status on application portal this morning". I viewed the status visiting application portal saying, "Thank you for your interest in the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The admissions committee for the Ph.D. in Public Policy program carefully reviewed your Fall 2025 application and supporting documentation. The committee considered several factors in addition to your academic background, including but not limited to the competitiveness of the incoming class, having an adequate match between an applicant and the program faculty’s interest, or that an applicant is sufficiently prepared for Graduate School. Each term there are many highly qualified applicants for a limited number of openings in this program and, unfortunately, we are unable to offer you admission to the Graduate School at this time. Best wishes in your future endeavors and thank you again for your interest in graduate study at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte." I was so hopeful about the acceptance. This is my 7th Public Policy school's PhD rejection even after I have a 4.00 Master's CGPA from US university.
