I regret that we are not able to recommend your admission into the program for the fall class of 2006. In reviewing an application, many factors are considered, including past academic and professional records, letters of recommendation indicating potential for excellence in research, record of research experience, personal statement of interest in the program, potential match with faculty members and an area of research emphasis in the program, test scores and other items.
Because we have many more excellent applicants than available places in the program, acceptances are extremely limited. This year we had several highly qualified applicants for a few places. Many acceptable applicants could not be offered admission for the fall 2006 class.
