The email says people in my position are "usually very likely" to get an offer. 0a/5w/4r/10p

GPA is grad. Form email from the Chair, Matthew Kotzen, about how many "talented and accomplished individuals" had applied and been rejected yada, yada, yada.

Paraphrase: 'Hi. I wanted to personally reach out and let you know that you are about to receive a letter from our department, a letter that you have been diligently and anxiously awaiting, which will let you know that you can finally relax because - as the letter shall explain - you have been... rejected.' GTFO here. Don't send applicants a pre-rejection letter, FFS.

Got a 'nice' email from Matthew Kotzen, informing me that a formal rejection is forthcoming. Lol. Why bother?

0a/4r/3p Email to check portal

grad GPA is 4.0. Given that I applied to some more heavily "continental" leaning schools coming from a more "analytic" M.A. program, it may have behooved me to ask one of my undergraduate professors for a letter.

Check portal, rejection obv

my first semi-positive outcome this cycle, and it's one of my top choices. 0a/1w/3r/6p so far.

Will probably decline anyway, but nice to have. 2a/3w/5r/8p

The email says that I'm not high enough that it's not likely I'll get an offer. 0a/4w/4r/11p

Grad GPA: 4.0 a2, w4, r2, p6 On waitlist of 5

Not in the top 5 preliminary ranking - must wait till the 23rd of June to get an official rejection.

GPA is grad. As other applicant said, kind of a waitlist. 1a/1w/2r/4p

Not quite a waitlist. They stated "we have made initial offers of admission (including funded offers and those who are on our initial wait-list)" and I am on reserve in case those offers do not work out. In other words, there is little to no chance of getting in.
