One of the potential superviser replied an email telling that I was not ranked highly enough by the admissions team. He told me the reason was mainly my marks. I have a CGPA 8.63/10, TOEFL iBT 109. Three professors encouraged me to apply after assessing my CV and transcript. Disappointed. Hope this will be my last rejection this year!
