Thank you! It was not like an informal email from a POI, if that is what you mean, since as I said, the email was from Mitchell Green, who is the Director of Graduate Studies. But he listed some faculty and programs that may be of particular interest to me given my AOIs, so I guess that would classify it as a personalized generic email.
Sorry I was that weird poster! I received an email from Mitchell Green last Sunday. It's strange not to have seen anyone else on gradcafe claim another UConn acceptance. I guess they must have been very quietly excited, like me.
