Rejected on 30 Nov F17 International GPA 4.00
Letter states not accepted to Master's program same as everyone else. I wrote an email to the department and to Paulla Ebron expressing my disappointment that in sending a sensitive notification they cannot even get basic details right. I expected this result as I was not interviewed. Some may have only found out today. I think it is highly disrespectful and requested they send an apology to all applicants who were carelessly given the wrong letter. No doubt everyone agnonized over every word of their SOP, so they should give some basic attention to detail.

My main interest was in Computational Social Science. 1.5 years of computational engineering research, 1 year of sociology research. Was put in the master's pool after my PhD application was rejected. No financial aid, and I have PhD acceptances elsewhere with funding, so I will probably decline.
