I expected a rejection at this point but it’s insulting for results to have taken this long.

GPA Masters. Absolutely insulting for them to string along any applicant until May 1st. Zero notification beforehand, they didn't answer any emails sent to them about the process, nothing. Waiting almost six months for a decision to a school is an incredibly red flag, I would never apply here again. Terrible end to an even worse cycle 0.5a/0w/0i/5.5r

I wouldn’t have known about my rejection had I not emailed, which is disappointing. I urge anyone else still waiting to reach out.

Radio silence until I emailed them directly on April 15th. I knew I wasn't getting in but it would've been nice to hear anything at all.

My undergraduate degree is in the humanities and I have one year of relevant post-undergraduate work experience. I received an email at 11:00 a.m. on 04/14 with my acceptance letter. They really had me sweating up until the last minute!
