Total disbelief. Offered first year scholarship and international fellows. Good luck to all those still waiting..it's true: sometimes "it's" worth the wait (although I still hate that blog post).

Straight out of undergrad. "Each year, the Committee recommends that a small number of candidates in your position consider reapplying. There is no guarantee of future admission, due to the competitive nature of the admission process, but the Committee believes you will be a stronger candidate after gaining additional professional experience." Good luck everyone!

While your achievements to date are impressive, most successful applicants possess considerable professional experience.
