Hello there! Kindly ignore the status. I’m an international student and I’ve applied to the social psychology program at UT Dallas. I still haven’t received any communication from the admissions committee and was just curious if anyone has heard from the department yet.

reject letter received by email

Preliminary interview on 1/3. Received notification of results on 1/8. I have been reflecting on this “painful” experience, and I should have been more confident for that interview (same for future potential interview, if possible) :( Wish this information helped and you could get what you wanted to get for the application!
