this is my top choice program; if you've been accepted but have better options, it would be amazing if you could update the department! I'd be so grateful :')

Received email notification to check the portal, where the virtual acceptance letter was waiting! Very excited!

Emailed the faculty, and he said that I didn't make it to the shortlist.

Got a notification through the portal, wasn't expecting it especially so soon but thrilled!! I had a positive email interaction with a professor before applying which may have helped.
