Even with the pretty tough acceptance rate, I still thought I had a chance. :(

Third rejection this cycle. Hoping for some good news soon.

Generic applicant status updated mail, was expecting a rejection due to that. Really happy it was an acceptance instead.

Invited to the campus visit, but rejected... The prof inviting me is to have a sabbatical with no hiring. Suprised to know... Four years research experience, many projects. 3 publication (1 first author), 1 under review, 2 preprint (both first author)

No publications but had full external funding from prestigious fellowship- so a little surprised

email to check portal. no interview :)

I was really sad when I got the rejection letter as the research group seemed like a perfect match for me. But now I’ve noticed even several candidates with good GRE scores got rejected too, so it seems this year was super competitive.

1 first author journal paper, 4 workshop papers. Out of 5 schools, this one was most aligned with my research background, so the optimism is fading fast :/
