Quantum experiment/hardware research. Had major error in SOP.

Had a personal interview in Jan

Had a really great discussion with POI and she was impressed - still on waitlist

Interview in Jan.

Unofficial email from POI, said the portal would update soon. At least he was nice!

10mins Skype call

"Thank you very much for applying to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University. 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. We wish you every success in all your future endeavors." Took them long enough. The sting hurts less since I also received an acceptance today.

Your application for admission has been reviewed and we are unable to offer you admission at this time. On the strength of your credentials, however, we would like to keep your name on our waiting list for future consideration, should openings occur later in the spring. If we are able to admit additional students from the waiting list, we will notify you as soon as possible.
