no tests - 61k scholarship

Rejected, the weirdest email: Your credentials and application for admission, as a graduate student to West Virginia University, were forwarded to the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences for the program in Sociology. I regret to advise you that your request for acceptance into this program was not approved. If you have questions concerning this decision, please refer to this website for academic contacts. ALSO, I called them and emailed a lot, because my application status was awaiting for more than month although everything! was submitted + application fee paid. They said if they can't process by the time, they won't be able to read my application! (I paid application fee and all recs were submitted) Really rude school, I have never experienced such treatment...

Email to check portal and then email from graduate coordinator a few minutes later. Excited to have options! 2a/0w/5r/3p

Got a 50k scholarship, and did not take the GRE.

Insanely impersonal, rude, and obvious that they don't care because that application money has already been paid. "Your application for the program listed below has been denied. We understand this might be a disappointing outcome. Please contact the program directly if you have any questions about this decision."
