Solicited an email from Rawlinson. They had 136 applicants for 4 spots. I am on a very short wait list.

Solicited then get email confirmation next day anyway

Email from JB Manchak with official acceptance letter and funding info, followed by a portal update a couple hours later. First program I've heard from :)

Already accepted by a fully funded PhD program, so will decline this offer.

one of my top choices, please please let me get in

I am also waitlisted at two PhD programs, so might decline soon. But we will see.

An email from Prof. Andersen, saying there'll be an official acceptance sent out eventually.

To the angry posters — Relax and don't blame your misfortune on others. Evaluate why you are SO angry at others and if maybe your attitude has bled through your applications. Your SOP can set off some red flags if you present yourself in an arrogant way, which it seems very possible in your cases. I don't mean to sound rude, but also be honest with yourself about your package because for the one poster with a 2.8 UG and 3.52 Grad GPA, that is a really huge red flag for programs and likely won't get you in anywhere (just being honest), especially if it comes along with a bitter and arrogant applicant
