Ignore waitlist, has someone heard back from UPenn? Should I still have hope at this moment?

Accepted for ALP with Clarendon funds.

Nuclear-exp, 1 REU, 1 NSF international research experience, 1 first author publication, several poster presentations, some department scholarships, private tutor, etc. Also had email communication with one of the research professors before applying. Absolutely devastated.

A decision is ready-emailed. Portal Update is there with a rejection letter.

MSc 3.25, IELTS 7.00, Papers 2, presentation 2. Uploaded in the application portal and emailed me that I should check the application portal to know the result.

Hello everyone! I am truly sorry for making this request but If you have better opportunities that you are planning to go, I would be extremely grateful if you could consider declining this one, as it will completely change my life. Thank you so much.

Generic Rejection. Email to check the portal. This is my second round of applications, and I didn't get anywhere. 4 years of total research experience, 3 years in my current field, 1 PRD first-author publication, 1 conference presentation, 1 year of TAship, Bachelor's and Master's in Physics from the top university in my country. Not sure if I will apply a third time. I wonder what went wrong with my work and applications. Congratulations to those who were accepted, and good luck to the ones waiting.
