I’m getting soooo many rejections today and I’m just so disappointed. Why are they all sending them at the same time?

Grad GPA 3.87.

GPA was grad (undergrad was a fair time ago), regional university. Pre-PhD adjuncting in methods (R, stats necessary for research design), recent conference presentation, designed and conducted original survey experiment using an online panel that will likely either be an R&R or published over the next year, data science internship and consulted a local nonprofit on data science tasks, had four faculty I could plausibly work with, methods training far beyond what is reasonable to expect from a doctoral applicant, and excellent letters of rec from faculty I've worked closely with. SOP, personal statement, and writing sample was written in LaTeX. I get that it's a stochastic process, but jesus man, how much stronger does my signal need to be? With all due respect, what do you guys want from us? Any direction, even vague direction, would be helpful for applicants.

No GRE submitted, CP field, undergraduate gpa. Honestly extremely surprised and happy!

Meh. Fit was great but I imagine there were candidates with more experience whom the committee knew personally. Quant-heavy preprint under review as writing sample, no GRE

3a/2r/0w/0i/6p. Not particularly surprised, AP subfield.

My application fee should count as a peer-review contribution. My toxic trait now includes donating money to universities. 0a0w10p

1a/5r/0w/7p

They were my dream school

Email notification. 0A/1W/6R/9P

after so many weeks of waiting I’ve kind of already prepared for this but doesn’t mean I’m not angry

GPA was from grad school.

CP field, it is what it is

No GRE submitted. A bit surprised, thought it was a really strong fit (methods subfield)

No GRE. Not disappointed as it was a reach school for me. Email said waitlist was short.

I thought I had a really good fit. Very disappointing.

Not suprised, not a great fit.
