Rej: Stat@PSU 求安慰，求大米~

今天早上上课的时候悄悄地刷了一些邮箱，就刷到了一封PSU的拒信。

We are sorry to inform you we are unable to offer you admissions to the Graduate Program in Statistics at the Penn State University. We deeply regret we are not able to offer admissions to all of our qualified applicants. We process a joint admission for the MS and Ph.D. programs an applicant who is not offer admission from one of these programs will not be admitted to the other program.

We look for reasons to admit applicants - not reasons to reject. Because of this, we do not have specific recommendations as to why you did not receive an offer. Due to the large pool of applicants, we do not have the resources to advise you about the strengths and weaknesses within your application. The Admissions Committee spends an enormous amount of time assessing each application carefully and weighing each applicants academic record, achievements and statement of purpose. We try to consider both the potential for each applicant to be successful in our program and our need to have a group of students which brings a variety of strengths to our department.

We thank you for your interest in Penn State University and for giving us an opportunity to consider your application.

好桑心呀！{:4_85:}
