Standard admissions letter. Unsure about funding.

Second year on the waitlist. My potential supervisor had accepted me last year but informed me that the department had only allowed her to select one student and she had to go with her current MSc student that sought to continue with her for their PhD. This year, my she advised me that there might not be an opening for her to accept another student but that she remained supportive of my application. Staying hopeful!

To the poster below with the bioanth waitlist--did you happen to interview with Michigan? Also I wish you luck getting off the waitlist! :)

A very kind email about small class size etc. to be expected in COVID times but encouraged to attend waitlist events in March.

Received an email from the head of the department this morning after being interviewed a few weeks ago.

Did anyone else receive a decision from Michigan?

UM had a really difficult situation with admits this year as they had to cut the entering class by half, they made it clear that they wish they could admit all interviewees. Going to hope for the best here (this is my first choice), but still grateful I was considered at all.

A very polite rejection mail from the Dean of the Grad School.
