Physics, University of Maryland Global Campus I received the same ambiguous email as everyone else here, saying that they "prefer not to send rejection letters until the very end of the process." I personally think this is not a nice practice for them to do. They are essentially waitlisting everyone and keeping themselves safe. They can always admit more students if whoever they have admitted decline their offer. However, this is not nice for the student and other graduate schools. For the students, I know that applying for grad school is a stressful thing, and if they just reject us early, we can still make other plans. For other graduate schools, they sent out offers and thought the students will come. However, because UMD is doing this, the students may receive UMD's admission at the very end, and decline other schools. Then, other schools will not have time to make more offers. I personally think their move is harmful for the whole environment of applying to grad school, which is already stressful. It is only good for themselves. However, if every school starts to do this, no one will be benefited. I have withdrew my application, because I have better offers anyway.

Physics, University of Maryland Global Campus "Update UMD Physics Graduate Student Application Inbox Donna Hammer 12:18 PM (18 minutes ago) to Dear Prospective Graduate Students, You are receiving this message because you applied to Maryland's Ph.D. program. Our admissions process is ongoing but nearly complete. We may make a few more offers of admission. These offers would be due to unusual circumstances, which prevented us from making a timely decision. As a matter of practice we prefer not to send rejection letters until the very end of the process, since circumstances can change (such as additional funding sources identified), and we may be able to make a handful of last minute offers. However, if we have not contacted you making an offer, we are unlikely to make one. Sincerely, Tom Cohen Donna Hammer Director of Education Department of Physics University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742"

Physics, University of Maryland Global Campus Anyone else get an ambiguous email from UMD? Like, neither an acceptance nor a rejection, just out of the blue? Along the lines 'further acceptances only under exceptional circumstances' and 'if you haven't received an email already, then it's unlikely you'll get a positive response'? I applied to hep-th. What does this email mean?
