Emailed program if all interview invitations had been sent out - was told that they couldn't supply information on individual applications but to refer to the timeline on the website. Timeline said that interview invitations sent out in December/early January so I'm putting two and two together and solidly considering myself rejected.

Email said to check my updated application status

Agree with the above suggestion of informing by email; It's so sad for me to see such a message "An update has been posted to your application status page". PTSD already. Several rejections already, and no interview so far. No hope, no disappointment. I guess.

Didn't expect anything. Think it would be more respectable to notify by email not on the website when they earn a lot of bucks from the application fee.

sent email to check application status page

Honestly really sad about this one

Email to check the portal

emailed the department for an update. "Of the nearly 600 applications we received, we were only able to invite a very small number to interview. Given the high volume of applications received, we are not able to offer application review and feedback at this time."

personal email from graduate advisor for recruitment that I met with along with few other faculty members for a 30 min interview 2 days prior. Invited to recruitment event on feb 4

big sad

generic rejection message: "thank you for your email. As you may know, we receive many more applications from exceptionally talented students than we can possibly admit. Deciding among them is difficult. Unfortunately, we were not able to offer you an interview. Of the nearly 600 applications we received, we were only able to invite a very small number to interview. Given the high volume of applications received, we are not able to offer application review and feedback at this time. We wish you the best in your educational endeavors."

Contacted by two PI's for interviews this week
