I have been in contact with the graduate director. She was very kind in informing me about the rejection. Fortunately, I have two other good offers to choose from.

Applied for Joint PhD in Social Work and Social Science (Sociology). Received rejection email from program director. Graduate GPA: 3.75, No GRE. 3 years teaching experience as lecturer, 3 years research experience as a research assistant, co-author on 4 papers, presentations at 2 conferences 7a/1i/3r

Generic denial letter sent via email, although like every place, they are just so grateful to us for applying. They offered an admission to their MSW, which I turned down because in isolation (and with potential costs) it doesn't align with my current research agenda. Best of luck to the folks who did get in - it's a great program!
