He told me the same thing to yet from looking at the search results it appears that rejections don't come out until April. It might be different for PhD vs masters but idk
Did you guys hear from any master programs in February or January ? It could be a department or school thing I know two people who already heard back from their masters programs.
He emailed me back saying that he has no funding for a new student and that the chances of new funding being available are very slim. I'm guessing that this will be a sure rejection unless a miracle happens...........
