I was surprised that I was considered because it is highly competitive. 2.9 Cum GPA, Currently 3.4 Post Bacc GPA, Low GRE scores, 5 years of experience in the field.

I didn't get an interview so already that was a sign. The supervisor I chose has experience in doing research in my country and I was keen on learning more from her. A bit disappointing because I poured my heart into the application. Understandable though considering that I don't have much research experience and I probably should have asked to be considered for a masters degree. They also mentioned that they'll be accepting 1-4 students earlier on. Congratulations to those that did get in. Hope you make the most of it.

Happy about this acceptance! I did undergrad in Sustainable Food and Farming at UMass, ended with a 3.55 GPA, and spent the last two years farming vegetables. Unsure if I will accept or not, but wanted to provide this info for a future applicant who anxiously looks for other food studies people like I did ;)

OH MY GOD DREAM SCHOOL!!!! State school for UG, some research experience, two years of professional experience, one year and 3 summers living/working abroad. Pinch me.

My page still shows as under review. Anyone else in the same boat? Should I reach out? (not waitlist)

Had interview last week - thought it went well...

TTPB : I will not apply for a Master's program next fall. I reckon that this rejection does not reflect my worth nor academic potential. I will apply to less prestigious programs, in Europe and beyond. A phd is a phd, regardless of the institution. If anyone wants to discuss about this tough cycle, you can reach me here, on Twitter: @Zara_thustra__

I, too, had it coming

Email notification to check the portal. I had it coming...

TTPB: Could you let us know if you received the email from the professor or there was an update to your application portal? Are you the one who posted you were interviewed earlier? I was also interviewed but still haven't heard back from them.

Email to check portal. Anyone who was accepted but not planning on attending please reject the offer so myself and others can get off the waitlist.

I am the same applicant who (below) expressed the kind nature of the rejection letter. Just realized I switched GRE quant and verbal stats. This kind of info might help future applicants.

Email to check the portal and find a (kind) letter of rejection. I guess they split applicants into clusters and try to provide a somewhat personal explanation.

I just happen to be checking the portal on the website and saw the decision letter on the portal dated from 2/24. Checked my spam mail and there was no email alerting me about the decisions going out.

NOT INTERVIEW, TTPB: post a comment in the "2021 Business PhD Applicants" thread in the forum and I will message you but I am not comfortable posting here.
