No interview, so I'm not surprised.

Finally rejected, but I am not surprised. I applied primarily because their staff basically harassed me to apply and waved my app fee after meeting them at AMIA . Luckily, I received and accepted an offer from a top tier university that is more aligned with my research interests.

Did not receive any invite for an interview.

Generic email.

Got my closure today. I thought my high GPA, rich research experience and several pubs could at least grant me a chance for an interview, but... shrug. I only applied to 2 schools and all of them rejected me. Hope anybody out there isn't as tragic as I am.

Same rejection email as the poster posted below. I thought I had a pretty decent shot at it as I had 2 published papers and 2 In Review papers, all directly related to the research area which I proposed in working. Doing undergraduate from an average university in the US didn't help, perhaps.

Interviewed 1/15.

No GRE was expected. 8 years experience in IT UG - IT PG -MBA Done one year Analytics Course Not sure how I can make my profile competitive enough ------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for applying to the University of Michigan School of Information doctoral program. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you admission. We had a high volume of applications to the doctoral program this year, many with extraordinary credentials. Our decisions are based on a very thorough review. We take into account a broad spectrum of factors: transcripts, general educational background, prior experience, statements of interest, and letters of recommendation. We seek exceptional aptitude for doctoral study, commitment to research, and alignment with the current research agendas of faculty and the School. Because our doctoral program represents an intensive commitment of faculty time and financial resources, we are able to admit only a small number of candidates. While we are aware of the disappointment that might accompany this letter, we wish you well in your future endeavors. Due to the high number of applications received, we will not be able to provide feedback on your application. Sincerely, The Doctoral Program Admissions Team University of Michigan School of Information

If any of of you are still waiting for some other school but know for sure you're not going to the University of Michigan especially the school of information please release your place for the rest of us.

Has all the offers been sent out? Is it still worth waiting for?

Just got a letter from the grad office. $32k funding along with a one time relocation bonus of $2k. Dreams do come true!

Where is my rejection letter? Please let me get it asap. Thanks!

Same situation as the poster below and hoping for some closure soon.

I did interviews with UMSI professors the last week of January & the first week of Feb, but I didn't get any emails on the 7th (which seems to be the date that everyone else received their acceptance letters). I think I got rejected but would really appreciate some closure asap.

Why hasn't Michigan UMSI sent out any rejections yet? I am pretty sure I am rejected, but some closure would be great. Or is Michigan one of those schools that tell you only when it's good news?
