Graduate School Admission Results

To any accepted theory people who aren't going...please inform the admissions people that so they can let me off the list! I will be forever grateful...

To the posters below, I got the admission decision three weeks ago and got the funding decision one week ago.

"We hope to make all admission decisions by April 1, 2010."

Not really my top choice, somehow they must have known :) Was transferred to a funded masters app from Ph.D. app pool, already have another Ph.D. offer and Ph.D. interviews.

Letter seemed very informal. Not signed, and no "Dear applicant"

Six rejections in a row. Bloody hell...

Funny, I wasn't going to apply, wasn't even in my top 5 but received personal email from UMICH asking that I apply....today I receive a very generic email notifying me of my rejection....I suppose it's just a way to make money off application fees. Thank you for applying to the University of Michigan's School of Information doctoral program. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you admission. We had 156 applications this year, many with extraordinary credentials. Our decisions were based on a very thorough review, extensive discussion by the committee, and consultation with the rest of the faculty. We took into account a broad spectrum of factors: grades and test scores, general educational background, prior experience, statements of interest, and letters of recommendation. We looked for aptitude for doctoral study, commitment to research, and fit to the School. Since our doctoral program represents a big commitment of faculty time and financial resources we are able to admit only a very small number of candidates. I'm sorry the news couldn't be better for you. Because of the volume of applications received, we cannot provide individual feedback on our decisions. I wish you well in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Stephanie D. Teasley Director of Doctoral Studies

My fourth rej this week...

my fifth rejection with no acceptance as of now!
