Received an email to check status.

Got an email to check the portal. Typical rejection letter

Undergrad in Computer Science from an Italian university. Good LoRs I think, and was considered the best student among those enrolled in my year.

A waste of time, money and hopes.

Update on admissions status portal- "Thank you for your Fall 2022 application to the Doctor of Philosophy program at Union Theological Seminary. The Faculty Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application and I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission at this time. The decision was not an easy one to make, but was reached through a thorough and thoughtful review of your application materials. Please recognize that this decision is not a dismissal of your academic ability or promise, but a reflection of the keen competition among the applicants for the limited space in our programs. We hope this final decision will not deter you from any of your personal aspirations. Indeed, all members of the Faculty Admissions Committee wish you success in all future endeavors."
