Dear XIAOBO SHENG,
Thank you for applying to the University of California, Davis for graduate study. Your application has been carefully reviewed by the Graduate Admissions Committee of the Applied Mathematics graduate program and by the Office of Graduate Studies. I regret to inform you that your application for graduate study at UC Davis was not approved.
Each year, the number of highly qualified applicants far exceeds the available openings in our graduate programs. For this reason, graduate programs must be very selective in making their admission decisions. Each decision is based on a comprehensive review of the applicant’s file. Some of the factors taken into consideration include: prior academic record and preparation for advanced study in the selected field; examination scores and other submitted materials; completion of program admissions requirements including prerequisite coursework; ability of the program to provide curricular and/or research opportunities consistent with the applicant’s stated educational objectives; and completeness of the applicant’s file.
If you have any questions regarding the reasons for your denial, please feel free to contact the admissions adviser of the graduate program to which you applied. I appreciate your interest in pursuing graduate education at UC Davis and share your disappointment with this decision. If in the future you believe that your accomplishments may be competitive, please do not hesitate to reapply. I wish you every success in achieving your educational objectives.
