Checked my portal and the rejection notice was there. Expected since I saw some informal acceptances on here a few weeks back. I applied straight out of undergrad (co '22), which I'm sure operated to my disadvantage. Didn't take the GRE. Disappointed with the overall lack of communication from this department. It made this process so much more stressful. Grateful that I have offers from other fantastic programs though! 3a/2r/2p

I haven't heard anything AT ALL but I'm 99.99% sure that I am getting rejected. I saw that some people already got interviews and informal offers from their POIs in early Feb. I am really bummed that they still haven't sent any info even though they already know who they are going to reject :\
