found out that they essentially lost my application and i applied all the way bak in November. i had to call back multiple times for it to be reviewed and they offered me a WL. i sent back a rejection letter to their wl offer lol
17:04
That’s surprising you got WL with your stats, I thought for sure you’d get in being above median.
@Iamanole: I kind of felt like thats what they did to me. Didnt hear a word, they wouldnt return calls, wouldnt return emails. I finally emailed the dean of admissions directly and asked if they lost my app and sent a loci the next day then got the WL the following day.
