Another one who was solicited by the department - and then rejected.

Funny, I wasn't going to apply, wasn't even in my top 5 but received personal email from UMICH asking that I apply....today I receive a very generic email notifying me of my rejection....I suppose it's just a way to make money off application fees. Thank you for applying to the University of Michigan's School of Information doctoral program. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you admission. We had 156 applications this year, many with extraordinary credentials. Our decisions were based on a very thorough review, extensive discussion by the committee, and consultation with the rest of the faculty. We took into account a broad spectrum of factors: grades and test scores, general educational background, prior experience, statements of interest, and letters of recommendation. We looked for aptitude for doctoral study, commitment to research, and fit to the School. Since our doctoral program represents a big commitment of faculty time and financial resources we are able to admit only a very small number of candidates. I'm sorry the news couldn't be better for you. Because of the volume of applications received, we cannot provide individual feedback on our decisions. I wish you well in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Stephanie D. Teasley Director of Doctoral Studies
