Thank you for applying to the University of Michigan School of Information doctoral program. We regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission. We had a record number of applications to the doctoral program this year, many with extraordinary credentials. Our decisions are based on a very thorough review. We take into account a broad spectrum of factors: transcripts, general educational background, prior experience, statements of interest, and letters of recommendation. We seek exceptional aptitude for doctoral study, commitment to research, and alignment with the current research agendas of faculty and the School. Because our doctoral program represents an intensive commitment of faculty time and financial resources, we are able to admit only a small number of candidates. While we are aware of the disappointment that might accompany this letter, we wish you well in your future endeavors. Due to the high number of applications received, we will not be able to provide feedback on your application.

Got an email: "We take into account a broad spectrum of factors: transcripts, general educational background, prior experience, statements of interest, and letters of recommendation.

Congratulations to those who have been accepted. You've made it!
