@S-Kyo I am in the same boat and planning to reapply. My concerns are the same, underfunded, low-placement and low prospects of a job at a R1 university. DM me, it always better to join forces and find a way out.
No unfortunately not. I found the rejection email in my junk folder. It is pretty disappointing. Good wishes for everyone who got acceptances and sympathies with the rejected.
What's going on with UMich? The results page shows several rejects but only one admit. If the decisions are out, where do those stand who have not heard by now? Any idea?
Has anyone applied to UMich and received department email persuading to apply for FLAS fellowship? Given its timing (12/21/18), I am inclining to interpret it as a neutral email. However, for a future reference, I w'd like to know if there are others who are in the same position?
