Generic denial letter sent via email, although like every place, they are just so grateful to us for applying. They offered an admission to their MSW, which I turned down because in isolation (and with potential costs) it doesn't align with my current research agenda. Best of luck to the folks who did get in - it's a great program!

Generic email to check portal. 0a/1r/1p

Template rejection email, even copy-pasted my name in (different font size lol)

Applied for the Joint PhD in Social Work and Sociology but was rejected, offered admission to the MSW program instead.

Rejected from the PhD program but accepted to the MSW program.

Said the decision didn't reflect my potential. Should I trust her?

International from top program in my country (top of my class), but admittedly I am neither a good fit for the program nor do my letter writers have connections here. 0a/2i/1r/7p

GPA is grad. 0a/0w/1i/6r/24p

In retrospect I was not a very good match with the program.
