Bad news here for my daughter. At 10:18 am today - a Sunday morning - she gets an email to check the portal. Has to login and click thru to get to a letter that says she is rejected. No interview, no explanation. Just the typical BS “we had so many well qualified candidates for a limited spot in this new program.”

I feel worse than she does, I think, because I got excited about this program. And I feel stupid spending $80 and sending in all my tax documents. If they weren’t even going to give her an interview, they could have been clearer in the promotional materials and in the information session we attended. Something like, don’t even bother applying if your scores are less than X.
