notified to check the portal and I saw the following " I regret to inform you that you have been denied admission to the University of Connecticut Graduate School.

Acceptance email but no info on funding.

Received a phone call from my interviewer offering acceptance to program.

So thrilled! First acceptance. Good luck to all the other applicants!

Generic rejection notification on the school portal.

IGNORE STATUS- anyone know what an interview with clinical focus may look like? I am international and not sure how it works in the US and what it means for a clinical interview. Would appreciate any advice!
