Received email from the department and the offer letter talking about the stipend plus the visit weekend in end march

Has anyone heard back from any POI? When I mailed the department regarding the status of the application, they asked me to check with the faculty.

Checked on the Website. Was so hopeful it would be an acceptance. All Rejects so far. No more PhD in ChemE for me I guess.

Yes, I got the email. I logged in to the portal with my NET ID and viewed the decision.

TTPB: What website? Also did you get an email this morning?

Checked the website and saw a rejection letter

TTPB: So if you got an email you're out?! That doesn't make any sense. Where did you hear that?

Similar emails. Apparently, admits get a direct email and rejects are asked to go through this UIN route. Wonder if it is true!

TTPB: Trying to decode the same pattern, do let others know if someone understands it!

I am sorry I thought it was an offer but actually, it is just an email asking me to create an account. I logged into the account and saw the decision is not posted. The decision will be posted on that website a few days according to that web page.

Hey to the TTPB who got accepted to TAMU earlier today - did you get portal details like everyone is getting today or received just an email from the department? I am trying to see if there is a pattern here.

TTPB: It could mean that they are sending emails for the portal to those who will get accepted, but it could also be that they are the ones who got rejected. Just wait...
