Email to check portal

This one was interesting for me. Email directed to portal than rejection. It was interesting because I had prior conversations with a PI who it’s important in the psych department. But I had to ask for a fee waiver from them, and they said they only do fee waivers if they seriously consider the student. They asked for my SOP, and I sent it, then stated they would be giving me a fee waiver and looked forward to getting to know me. Obviously was promising but not guaranteed. I never heard from the PI again, so I assumed I was going to be rejected especially since I saw this PI has interviewed others. I was hopeful till 2/4 lol. I’m not mad and accept this and the outcome, it just is interesting for me.

Interviewed in early February

email to check portal, standard rejection

Received this email: “Your application has received a favorable review from the School of Social Work Committee. However, because of the tiered review process, this recommendation must be confirmed by the College of Social Science. Then, we must await the final review, official decision, and notification to you from Graduate Admissions. You will receive an email from them once this has been completed. We look forward to formally welcoming you to the Spartan family soon.” Most likely will be accepting their offer. I applied for their Advanced Standing program which begins in Summer 2026.

Received an email from my prospective academic advisor welcoming me to the program (not a formal offer of admission from the graduate school). This is for their summer term, however, I am going to be rejecting their offer as I received another offer from my school of choice.

Website says interviews have been sent out for 2026/27
