  1. Youngcharlie, we should be grateful that those rejections they come early in our life. They just tell us something about ourselves. I am a Chinese with a mediocre degree. I suffered depression too and had to suspend my graduate studies for a year. My ex broke up with me on my birthday and ten days before I took GRE. You studied like a fiend and I can assure you that each person who wants to go for PHD in us studies like hell too. I applied for a dozen programs and got a dozen rejections. But I always have a strong sense of who I want to be and can be. A university teacher and a freelance writer. I am sure that if I don't get in this circle, I will do a second round. Just when I am planning it, I got an offer from a decent program. See, life just seems bad but there is a silver lining. PM me if you need any emotional solace, I will be very patient.
  2. I have a hard time understanding “shortlist". I got accepted at Purdue. Does anyone get acceptance from there too?
  3. Thanks for the information. Do you know there is anything I could do at this point to gain more chances?
  4. I am waitlisted at Michigan, Complit. I emailed the DGS and he said the waitlist was unranked. I feel quite confused. Does anyone know how an unranked waitlist works? Is there anyone who has also been waitlisted at Michigan?
  5. Hey meowmeow, I applied Stanford as well. Does Stanford invite all short listed students to the visit? Including internationals?
  6. Oh, finally created an account. For more than three weeks I could just read your guys' posts and couldn't do anything. I love the energy here. I have applied for two great programs, Stanford and Harvard. Haven't heard anything yet, guess that's implied rejection, huh?
