Email signed by co-directors of graduate studies, but sent from separate email. Didn't even bother changing "Fall 2016 semester" to "Fall 2017 semester." At least proofread your emails.

Odd interview process. Only one PI I wanted to work with was taking students. Some other faculty members I liked were cross-listed across departments and didn't take students from this program, even though they were on the eligible N&B faculty list. I met some other students in similar situations. In such a small interviewee pool, why go to the trouble of interviewing us when other applicants could have been a better fit?

Notified by POI on 2/8, official letter of offer 2/15.

Got a phone call the day before from my POI and was emailed the letter of acceptance today! Super excited!

To anyone else waiting, just an FYI that I've heard that not all acceptances have been sent yet. Person who received an acceptance apparently got it because they said UCLA was their top choice. Very unimpressed with the way this dept interacts with prospectives.

Very happy to have been accepted! Had a great experience at the interview session.

One year research. Low GPA, no pub. expected result.

"though your file was ranked highly, your application for the Rotation Stream was not successful due to how many people we could offer spaces to." My application is available (as an MSc) for faculty to review for direct entry. US applicant, BS is highest degree.
