Yes!!!!!!!

Found out through unofficial email exchange with the department. All decisions are final. They don't use waitlist.

No funding. Going to UCSB PhD program instead.

Emailed my potential advisor a few days after submitting application, we started discussing his work and the many possible projects I could get involved with. My letters of rec turned out to be mild praise + many typos and one even mentioned the wrong program, but my enthusiasm + GRE + willingness to explore very unusual connections and fields seemed to stand out.
