Lowkey felt the shackles fall off as soon as I got that email. After a year of waiting to hear back, 2 letters of interest, stats above their medians, a tour of campus, calling, attending their admissions webinars. Finally got the R! Their loss tbh. I showed genuine interest and it just clearly wasn't in the Universe's plan for me. God speed to all of y'all out there waiting to hear back from their top choice, hope your outcome is better than mine, but I hope whatever answer you get brings you peace!
