Frustrated is an understatement. I still haven't received a response from this school. I'm worried that they're ghosting me... I emailed the coordinator of the program & I got no response. It's very frustrating to put your heart and soul into an application just to be ghosted. I think at this point, I should assume I'm getting rejected, but why are they holding off the rejection letter and not responding to me? I thought I was a competitive applicant... I have a 4.0 gpa in my master's degree (in English), strong LoRs, a good writing sample that I presented at an international conference, a strong letter of intent, etc. I guess there are people who were more qualified than me which is fine, but it would be nice to not get ghosted!!
