email notification at 11pm eastern time

3 Months of waiting with little to no communication (ironic).

I didn't expect this, but received it. First offer, immediately accept it. Guys, keep your hopes up cuz it's not over until it's over!

Extremely unprofessional. I had to email the Graduate School and English Graduate Coordinator no less than five times to get a response about my application which of course was a denial. The portal never updated nor did I receive a notification on their own behest. This is not the proper way to treat a good faith applicant. I expected more from them and would never reapply again.

Accepted off waitlist

Waitlisted, told no more spots left.

Predicted, total radio silence and their faculty excel sheet, which I interested stated not going recruit any PhD student.

Had over a dozen of SSCI (mostly Q1) - mostly first or solo authored - publications in related field of sustainability political economics. I am a former exchange student in my undergraduate studies, as well. I have a masters degree in a top 10 university, while undergrad is within top 40. I had a part-time RA experience for 3+ years. Interview was a positive experience where I was not able to be challenged by the interviewers and had been acknowledged of my proven record. Unfortunately to my surprise - and to everyone’s surprise -, my application got rejected. However, it is surprising to me and (of course, to my great disappointment) that there were some people who admitted had limited research experience - lets alone any proven publication record. So if one wants to apply for PhD in this program next year, you will need to think carefully about what they really want. I agree with the previous comments that there are lack of intuitive pattern what the PhD admission committee really want at this point. I am being brutally honest for those who is considering to apply here.

Got admitted after being asked if I was still available and interested.
