TTPB : received email The Electrical Engineering Graduate Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your application for admission to our PhD degree program for the Fall 2020 term. I regret to inform you that you have not been admitted. The number of people we can admit each year is quite limited, and as a result of intense competition, we must deny admission to many well qualified candidates. But almost sure they did not even looked at my application!
