E-mail from potential PI. Unexpected and a bummer, but apparently they could only let in about half what they wanted to this year for funding reasons.

I haven't heard anything yet. The wait is killing me, but it looks like last year acceptances and rejections happened around the 25th of March. Good luck all.

Anybody heard anything from the program? There is one acceptance for F10. Not having received any notice of admission yet = rejection?!

Potential advisor states that decision letters will be sent out in the next few weeks. He is however not involved in admission process.

Shortlisted. Official notifications should come soon. Apparently a lot of "exceptional" candidates this year.

Email response to my inquiry from a potential advisor. They can only admit half the applicants they hoped to admit due to funding limitations. Going to UMass, Amherst this fall.
