No interview, but I did interview for them last year, so maybe they chose to wave it this year.

My sixth rejection this cycle. Received a generic email from the department chair that I was not admitted to their PhD program. I was so disappointed because I kept email communications with a professor there and my current PI even knows this professor pretty well... :( Personal background: Undergraduate: earned from a prestigious UK university, First-Class Honours Degree (GPA 3.85/4.00 after WES evaluation), 1 year of research experience (4 different projects in total, including 1 UROP summer internship at Imperial College London), 3 preprints on arXiv, 2 strong LoR from my undergraduate project advisors; Graduate: currently earning my master's at WashU, GPA 3.43/4.00 (physics major GPA 3.62/4.00), 1.5 years of research experience (master's thesis project), currently writing my first-author paper, 2 department symposium experiences and 1 conference experience (3 posters presented in total), 1 strong LoR from my current PI. GRE 323+4.0 not submitted.

I have not received the email yet, but I spoke to a person in the department and was told offers have been sent out.

I got an interview group invitation for the 4th of feb. Applied on the 21st of December

Accepted via email.

History, Philosophy, and Policy in Education – Specialization in Education Policy Studies; No interview

Not a great match. The email was polite.

Luckily, I already have a placement in another institute, and this one is at the bottom of my list. I'm still waiting for more decisions though. Good luck to the rest!

Noticed others were getting their admission results 2 days ago, but haven't heard anything from them...so was preparing myself for first rejection incoming. congrats to everyone who got in.

Having heard about others’ acceptances recently, I wasn’t surprised by this rejection.

Not surprised. 0a/1r/11p.
