TTPB: What are did you apply to? Can you share your PI's initials?

To admitted students: does anyone know for sure yet that they won't accept? Sincerely, a very eager waitlisted student 😭

TTPB: I also applied to the Physics PhD program and I am still without any news as well.

From rejection email: "We have only been able to accept fewer than 1 in 20 applicants."

full ride, thanks Stanford : )

There are much more applicants (hundreds). I think this program is getting much more competitive than in previous years.

So grateful!! Single subject Math. I was too excited during the call and can't remember when I was told I should get my official letter/email with acceptance. For anyone else who has been accepted, any idea when that is? Appreciate it in advance, and congratulations to everyone hearing good news!

Not too surprised. They were only accepting one candidate this year and were looking for someone from more of a musical background than engineering background.

Rejected - as expected, since we didn't hear a thing until now.rnrn"Dear [NAME],rnrnThe Graduate Admissions Committee of the Department of Music has reviewed your application for admission to our graduate program. I regret to report that the department did not admit you to the program.rnrnAs I am sure you know, the number of applicants for graduate study far exceeds the number of those whom we can admit: Each year many strong candidates in all fields must be turned down. I can only assure you that the evaluations and decisions were made with care by our faculty.rnrnWe wish you the best of luck in reaching your academic and musical goals."rnrnThanks, fam. Would love my $125 back of course, but in some ways this generic email was priceless :')

Short, generic rejection email

The rejection letter basically reads "Thank you for your donation."

Accepted for Secondary - Social Sciences.
