Implicit rejection is a term of art in the graduate application community. It is the term for the suspicion you have that all the accepted students have been notified. You didn't hear; you're not an accepted student. Implicit rejection.
My implicit rejection count is, unhappily, soaring. It's an imprecise art, because grad admissions comms are human and do things irregularly, however much they try to systematise for efficiency's sake. But that considered, the count stands at:
- Berkeley
- Penn
- JHU
- UVa
- Chicago
- Michigan
Add in my acceptance at Duke and my rejection from UCLA, and that means that I have an idea of how eight of my fifteen schools stand. Suddenly, the season is more than half over - and I've only heard from two places! Thus the lure of implicit rejections.
Still to hear from
and still to notify anyone: Columbia, NYU, Harvard, Yale, Rutgers, WashU Stl and Stanford.
