1st REJ from RPI

今早还是一如既往的查了下邮件，发现RPI的status可以看了，然后就收到了第一个REJ。。。
以下是邮件的内容：

Dear Juntao:

I am sorry that we will be unable to offer admission to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. We receive many applications for study in our graduate programs, so the competition for these slots is very intense.

As you know, graduate entrance is heavily dependent on the match between the focus of faculty research and student interest and background. Rensselaer has chosen foci in areas as diverse as biotechnology, information technology, and interdisciplinary programs at the intersection of science and humanities, among others. Students admitted to study in our programs often have diverse backgrounds, but always share a solid foundation and interest in technology and its applications.

I wish you the very best as you pursue your educational goals. If you should have any questions regarding this, please contact the department, to which you applied, directly. You can find their contact information on our website at www.rpi.edu.

Sincerely,

George B. Robbins
Director, Graduate Admissions

看了之后，不知道这是不是套话，上面好像只写了研究方向不match，难道我真的是因为这个原因被拒了么。。。
不管怎样，还是发邮件问问吧，还好还有一个WPI的AD在手里，心里有点底~
