"While your application materials indicated your credentials are strong, the faculty interests and curricula available in our department do not match those suggested in your materials and would, therefore, not be an appropriate fit for our department." Fair enough

"Thank you for your application to the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington. We received over eighty-three applications for admission to our Graduate Ph.D. Program for the 2020/2021 academic year. Unfortunately, resources allow us to admit only two or three students every year. While we were impressed with some aspects of your application, your materials indicted that you were not competitive with the top applicants."

Had a skype interview with a professor of interest. They ghosted me for a month even though other people got accepted/rejected. Not sure why they rejected me now instead of earlier with everyone else.

TTPB: I would think so, at least until people attend Open House (commencing tomorrow) and enough people decline afterwards to free up spots. From my accommodation list, there are 38 people attending the OH. However, since grad schools usually assume

TTPB: it looks like last year they notified somebody of an acceptance around feb 19! Did they tell you they were interviewing 10 people and/or how many they plan to accept?

This is my top choice. Hope I get in!
