Current undergrad at Ivy. GPA 3.95/4.0, one-year research experience, 1 paper in prep for submission, 3 great LoRs (2 from Profs very well connected to Stanford). Research interests not a good fit with the department though.

Not surprised - but my egoooo hurtssss (haha).

No surprise, but still feel down. Getting more and more anxious since I've got no acceptances till now. Wish we all find our way into a program at last. 0a/3r/5p

Saw this coming since, but I got into another program. Also during economic recessions, most ppl tend to go back to school which makes sense with the large applicant pools.

Got rejection email from chair via email. At the end of the day, it's their loss. Looking forward to the programs that will accept me, and hoping everyone else gets pleasant surprises this admissions cycle.

Grad GPA:4.0, from Top 3 schools, Email received from the Dept. Chair. They had only 7 spot this year. Anyway my subject was not really the great fit for their program and it was not my first Choice. Their academic placement also sucks!

Not at all surprised. 0a/2r/12p

3r/0a/5p - congrats to those accepted. I honestly thought I was more competitive than my results are indicating... Feels pretty bad.
