First result from a school and first rejection. Not that surprised; got rejected from Northwestern when I applied two years ago, so all I was really adding was a master's degree. Got a nice email from the department saying that they felt I deserved a quick word directly from the department; not sure if that was standard. 1/7 rejections, 6/7 waiting.
