Received my rejection email this morning. The program coordinator had said in a separate email that every applicant should receive word on their admission decision by March 1st so keep an eye out. Stay strong! You'll succeed regardless of where you end up!

congrats to those admitted!

Unfortunate.. Looks like standard rejection letter. "This year fewer than 8% of applicants were admitted"

Interview via zoom

Generic rejection. They indicted less than 8% of people got in. Based on previous results, they have chosen all their students already. Most likely the rest of results will be rejections

“Thank you for your interest....fewer than 8% were admitted.”
