deepened

I called and talked with the person who responded to me by referring mine looks good. But, today, she said that I was declined and continued to say that she don't know why I was rejected and it seems because of the high competitivity. I feel I am very much pissed now.

To Minnesotan: I got you. It looks like that, so that's the reason I can't still be sure about what she said to me. To ticklemepink: She is just a MS & PhD advisors, not the potential advisor. With the faculty I expected to be a good dissertation advisor, I just contacted about three months ago and got a kind of neutral response (I am intrigued to your research, and will look yours with other committees). The school finishes the spring break by this week, so I hope I can know the final decision in next week..!!!

My thesis advisor also say that it seems I am in but they are making money for me (believe or not). Your comnments really help me. The deadline of my program was Jan.15 so it is comparably late than others, so anyway I should wait but it is really hard. To Minnesotan: what do you mean by "It is, however, a jerky thing to say, if you're not sure of the results."? Do you mean that I should just wait without asking to the department unless I am sure? Anyway, I will need to follow any decision they make. To deianeira: what I wrote is really a simple question when I can know the result from the department.

Thank you for your advice. It seems that the result is going to be anounced very soon, but, to wait is, as usual, not very easy.

After contacting my application status, I received below email from the phd advisor. How do you guys think about this situation? Is mine just under review now or is there any possibility for me to be in the program? I am still waiting but heard no response yet. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear xxx: Your application looks good! Some of the committee members recommended your acceptance at xxx.! I'll get back with you soon. This doesn't interfere with my work. I'm very excited to tell you the good news. Thank you.
