The research groups there that I wanted to go to are using my work, but they won't admit me.

No mention of funding. Hmmmm...

Accepted on the phone and by email.

If you were accepted but are choosing not to attend, please let them know. This is my first choice for grad school.

General email

One paragraph rejection letter.

Happened to check the webportal and saw "Denied Admission". Interestingly I have already been admitted into a top program at another institution.

Disappointing

I contacted the admissions coordinator who answered by email that they will not be able to offer a position because record not as good

So EXCITED! First choice school and current undergraduate student. One step closer!

No word on funding yet, but my top choice! SO excited!!!!

I got the admissions letter today via postal mail. They have sent it out on Feb.27. The school wants me to reply to the letter via postal mail. This school, the application process is so old-fashioned.. I will decline to this offer because I was accepted to the several PhD programs, but I like my POI and his research interests though..

I got the admissions letter today via postal mail without any notification in advance, and it was sent out on Feb 27. The school wants me to reply to this mail via postal mail.

Since I was accepted to several other PhD programs, I will decline this offer, but I'm sorry that I like my POI and his research interests at this program.

I'm glad I didn't into their program. They (including POIs) would NEVER return inquiry emails. It's alright, because I got into a PhD program, anyway.
