E-mail to check application system. International applicant. Theory.

I'm gonna try once again. Anyone? Anyone heard anything at all from Iowa? They usually send their decisions by now. I am desperate at this point. :(

Email indicating that I've been accepted! So exciting!

This decision was made only after careful examination of all available materials and factors. Offers of admission are extended to those individuals who, among the many well qualified applicants considered, have the best overall qualifications and most closely match departmental interests and objectives. Please do not feel that this decision is a reflection on your qualifications.

To the question below: Thank you for your kind message. I have not yet decided whether I would accept the offer, but I am going to decide it as soon as possible for other candidates. Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations to the Iowa CB offer! Do you happen to know if you'll likely accept the offer or when you will make a decision? It's my top school :)

I have been e-mailing to confirm that their silence was a no. Indeed it was. Formal rejection coming in a few days or weeks? If you have not heard from them it is a no by now. Sorry folks, but keep hope! This is my 5th rejection response this cycle.

Great program! Perfectly Matched research interest with PI! Top Choice! Will accept the offer!
