To the person asking prior, I do think it looked like a mass email from the admission head’s email (only personalization was the first and last name).

>3.8 GPA in biochemistry from a top 10 public university. 8 semesters part-time + 2 summers full-time academic research, no pubs. 2 years as a research associate at a Bay Area biotech start-up. I was really interested in this program, very disappointing. Good luck to everyone else.
