Standard rejection email.

Received an email from the Graduate Program Coordinator. In retrospect, it would have been an awful department for me. I'm not into phenomenology and apparently that's what they're currently doing there. There are more interesting programs in the US alone.

E-mailed POI and was informed they didn't have the funding to take me on this year

I asked POI and he replied me through email that I was rejected.

Applied to the PhD program originally but was admitted as an M.A. student. There is no designated funding for MA students and their MA students can't apply to their PhD program. I have a B.A. in Humanities and a 3.854 GPA.

solicited DGS

Notified I was on the short waitlist on Feb 17th, got a phone call a few days later saying I was accepted

Solicited.

Dodged a bullet apparently, since they denied me from their "Masters program for 2017" (already have my Masters, it's 2018, etc). If someone's taken the time to express interest in their school and waste money applying, you think you'd at least make sure that your rude as heck form letter had correct information.

Probably the least well-written rejection letter I've received. A little surprised, but also don't care too much since I've been admitted to a better program.

Wasn’t super bummed about this one since I’ve heard/read terrible things about this program. Also, they rejected me from the MA program when I had applied to the PhD... I informed them that I have already earned my MA. Super insulting and telling of their program.

Disappointed
