addvi2092 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 same here. anyone want to venture a guess as to why committees do that (accept, reject, accept, reject)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverfree Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Probably because they accept a few people who they know they're going to take, then reject applicants who are a clearly bad fit or don't have great credentials, then pore over the remaining applications that are neither. Just a guess foreverfree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverfree Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 UIUC rejects being sent out...Condolences to everyone who didn't get in. Whole idea of admissions seems stupid sometimes, but I guess they have limited spots. It's humbling to see even though I was fortunate enough to be accepted. Fingers crossed for everyone who hasn't heard from their dream schools foreverfree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbbennet Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I feel like its as much about fit as anything else. I was accepted to UCSB Materials but rejected by UC Berkeley materials. Dont feel down if you didnt get into a program. It just probably wasnt a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankurshah Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 well thats what the admission officer in the dept told, Also looking at the admission thread in the result section, first wave in jan end (two results are out) and the next wave is in midish of feb so i hope to get some decision this coming week BTW i need some info on the movement in the in the Delaware materials Dept.
