Thank you for submitting your application for Psychology PHD for the Fall 2013 term at the University of Arizona. I regret to inform you that you have not been admitted to this graduate program. .
Graduate programs at the University of Arizona receive many more applications than there are openings for students. Each application is carefully reviewed by the department's graduate admissions committee as well as by the Graduate College. In this very competitive process, it is inevitable that many talented students are not recommended for admission.
I understand that this decision may be disappointing to you. However, I hope that you continue to endeavor to reach your goals, and wish you well in your educational pursuits.
We appreciate your interest in the University of Arizona.
I regret to inform you that the Cognitive Science, PHD program did not approve your application for admission to Brown University’s Graduate School for the 2013-2014 academic year. Admission decisions are made on a comparative basis and are the result of a careful evaluation of each candidate's application, taking into account academic achievement, preparation for advanced study, and other supporting materials.
The majority of those who apply to the Graduate School have strong qualifications and demonstrate an ability to do advanced academic work. We regret that we have to disappoint many bright and talented students.
Thank you for your interest in Brown. I wish you the best in your academic endeavors.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Weber
Dean of the Graduate School Brown University
We are finalizing our final admissions and you are not on the short list. I wish you the best in the future.
Best regards, Sandra Kelly
然后昨天,一个跟我方向不太match的教授又问我对南卡还有木有兴趣:
Dear XXX,
I am writing regarding your application to our graduate program. The program is now in the process of reviewing the applications and since your application looks strong and since you expressed interest in psycholinguistics (which is the area I work in), I wanted to inquire if you are still interested in coming here or have you already committed to go someplace else.
