no updates from Berkeley either. I assumed this silence to be a rejection? ?

Received two emails to check portals at noon. In at Georgia Tech and wait-listed at Penn, both interviewed last week. I had a great conversation with a professor at GT and his dog. Penn's interview was not conversational and the professor just moved on to the next question after I finished speaking, which somehow made me pretty nervous...

@Quincy_Taft_Coolidge Thank you! I do love the program and LA as a planning lab itself!

Four OUTs in a row lol. Every rejection came with an email to check portal.
