Graduate School Admission Results

Why did they reject so late?? :(

Received email to check portal where the rejection letter was. Boiler plate "lots of strong candidates..." blah blah blah. Background: MS math, grad gpa 3.16, no GRE

Canadian applicant. Received an email to check the portal for a status update. Had emailed the department the day before after hearing nothing since submitting in January.

Fed RA

Waitlisted. If you have any dominant offer, please reject! UWO is one of my most preferred schools!

did interview in february

Admitted off waitlist

MA program. Was notified in February that I would likely not receive an interview (told if I was an alternate, I would be notified within 2 weeks, which didn't occur). Received official email with letter attached on 03/31/25. Was told that my application wasn't competitive compared to others.

Ignore status. So is Northeastern just, like, not going to release decisions this year? I understand that all universities are in a tough spot at the moment, but I paid $100 for this and I haven't heard a single word from them. No updates. No "hey sorry for the wait". No acknowledgment of the fact that it's been months of complete radio silence. I'd be satisfied with a "we don't have a clue what we're going to do, fyi". This is incredibly unprofessional behavior on behalf of the department.

Received a general rejection letter from the Academic Services Administrator.

This program is an MA. I first received an email claiming that "applicant did not respond to interview emails" on 03/25/25. When I responded that this was incorrect (with receipts to this claim) and asked for an explanation, the program did not acknowledge it, but simply sent me an email (03/30/25) inviting me to interview on 04/01/25. I politely refused the offer.
