This is my top choice, please decline if you have dominant offers

Damn... "Thank you for your application to the Ph.D. in Language and Literacy Education offered by the University of British Columbia's Vancouver Campus for the term beginning September 1, 2026. We regret to inform you that your application for this graduate program was not successful. Each year, many good applicants are declined admission to the University of British Columbia.
