Unfortunately, my partner e-mailed the secretary Sunday night and got a reply Monday afternoon that she was not accepted. A short, kind of rude e-mail, at that. Just "We will not be offering you admission or an assistantship." So, it seems at least some decisions have been made. Now I just have to decide whether I should go to Purdue or to a significantly lower ranked program even though I told Purdue I was going there. That's why a program shouldn't require early responses. This is no fun.
