Computer Science, Cornell University 4.0 undergrad GPA, GRE 165/170/5.0 (Q/V/AW). Area: ML. Several publications but mostly in applied venues. Got into two other top 10-ish schools though so I'm happy.
Question: I see "generic rejection email" mentioned on here a lot. Is there ever a non-generic rejection email? They all say the same thing—due to the high number of applications/COVID, we had to reject many qualified applicants, best future wishes, blah blah. Can you actually infer anything from these messages about how close you were?

Computer Science, Cornell University I already have a nice offer from a decent school but this really sucks. Cornell was my top choice and I always dreamt of coming here.

Government Political Science, Cornell University I haven't gotten a rejection yet (yes I checked the promotion/social/spam folders on gmail). Does this mean I'm waitlisted? Haven't gotten any emails from Cornell.
