Graduate School Admission Results

Reply to the previous question: some people who got waitlisted posted in a Chinese forum saying that the email they got explicitly said the acceptance rate this year dropped to below 3% with 1000+ applicants.

TTPB: how do you know its 3%?

Heard the acceptance rate this year dropped below 3% with over 1000 applicants.

Contacted by POI.

Two professors send the interview invitations at midnight respectively.

TTPB: Can you please share your profile?

no interview

It's not very comfortable to receive news so late, and they even don't wanna bother to notify u.

TTPB: to the post below for ISU. This program also did not reply to my emails regarding decision. But so far the coordinator told that they cut half in the budget due to situation and now are unable to accept half of (300) applicants admitted usually. She suggested accepting other offers if any. So for all being ghosted by ISU, suggest accepting other offers.

Generic rejection mail

Is this another department everyone got ghosted by? Another wasted application fee for me. I'm happily attending another program, but it is so frustrating that some departments will shamelessly avoid sending any communication. It drags out the decision process for everyone as applicants hold onto other offers until 4/15 while waiting to hear from these disorganized departments. Really wish we could push back on this behavior.

Emailed me to check the portal

Accepted from waitlist.
