Rejection [Purdue University] (Discourse Chronicle)
You have not heard from us prior to this note because your application interested us and we hoped to be able to admit you. But, we had only 8 teaching assistantships, and we admit people when we have secured aid for them. We never secured aid to fund an offer to you.

That would be particularly painful if you hadn’t already received an acceptance letter.
OK, so the news could have been better…but I told you it might be a good sign that the schools had been holding your applications for so long.
Congrats on making it that far in the Purdue admission process — really. 🙂
I know, I let paranoia take me away while I waited out my PhD applications, but I am also impressed with how far I made it in Purdue’s admissions. Last time around, I rejected its admission for an MA in American Studies and things turned out for the best anyway.
