Graduated with MPH in 2020, 2 papers, 1 first author

"I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission. As you know, the very high number of extraordinary candidates far exceeds the number of places we have in each program, and we are not able to admit many excellent candidates." Expected since I did not receive an interview invitation.

I'm ecstatic!! Coming from a non-design background from a third world country, this is a dream come true!! Don't get upset and try again if this year didn't work out. I was rejected as an undergraduate student at every US university and stayed at home. But now as a last year university student, I got admitted with funding to Yale and RISD for design without studying design as an undergrad!!

got an email to check the portal, was NOT expecting an admissions letter. no mention of aid yet but very excited!

Exchanged emails with potential POI all the way back in October who expressed interest in taking me into his group. But didn't hear anything since and got rejected today.

Emailed POI before, he said to talk later, then never replied to my email. Just a rejection. Finally Rejected

GPA is master. BArch: 3.15.

Very sad :/

So sad to receive rejection mail from dream school :(
