They didn't want me. Sigh

Email to check the portal, with a brief, generic rejection email on the portal. Not shocked, since I didn't get an interview. And not sure I'd want to attend since I'd heard rumors of how cut-throat the department culture is. Nevertheless, rejection never feels great. :) Congrats to those who got in!!
