Notes
"Our graduate admissions committee has completed its review of applications for our PhD program. Because we offer our doctoral students full funding for five years, the spaces available for the entering class are limited by the number of assistantship lines we have. We have now made our initial offers of admission. Although we were not able to make you an acceptance offer in this round, we have placed your name on our waitlist. I realize that being on a waitlist puts students in an uncertain situation and I apologize for that inconvenience. We have encouraged the candidates we recently admitted to inform us immediately once they reach a decision, and I hope to be able to update you on the status of your application within the next several weeks. Please rest assured that we gave your application full consideration and were impressed with your qualifications and potential. In addition to such considerations, our decision is also shaped by our current course offerings, the need to balance fields within a cohort, and similar concerns. Frankly, if we had more assistantships available, my news would be better. Thank you for your patience with the complexities and uncertainties of this process. I will be in touch as soon as I have news. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
