Note

Waited forever to hear back. I contacted my admissions counselor, who told me to contact the department who told me to contact the advisors I stated I wanted to work with. Only one of the three advisors got back to me and said the following: "Thank you for your email and your interest in our program. Our faculty recently reviewed applications. Although your application is strong, regrettably it was not selected for our short list. We received an unusually high number of outstanding applications this year, which meant many strong applications like yours were not selected. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, and I wish you all the best on your other applications." You would think they could notify you of such an important decision, but no I had to reach out to 3 different people. What a mess of an admissions process, will not be reapplying.
