Not too upset because I knew it was a reach. Weirdly heartening to see everyone else on here, just to know I’m not alone.

I can see people who are accepted and waitlisted this week (days later that I can find two people who are accepted). So clear sign that I am rejected—I am genuinely surprise since I met my POI early on and our chemistry was great and she even connected me to her current students. As info for future folks applicants, most current phd candidates there didn’t have interviews. But possibly some. They got straightforward email notifications.
