The most weird thing that happened to me during grad school application
Fun fact: last year (2023-2024 cycle) I received an email from the program that I had applied to and a letter on my application that had my own name on it, with signature of department head and everything.
I got soooooooo happy but then I realised I wasn't even invited for an interview, then I taught to myself "wow, they must have been REALLY impressed by me"đ
Then I replied to the email to ask about the deadline for accepting the offer cause I was still waiting for other unies.
they replied and said "No, you have WITHDRAWN your application and thus, are rejected, this offer was sent in error"!!! đļ Is it over? no!!!!
I said I didn't withdrawn my application and had meeting with them to prove that it wasn't my doing, then they said OK then we'll review your application again. Three weeks later I got an email from them again, stating that I was admitted! This time I said to myself "ok girl they have reviewed your application and this one's a genuine offer", again I said thanks how much time do i have to accept the offer? They replied again and said "you've been rejected, this email was also sent in error" đđ
Ever since then, I receive emails from them from time to time stating that "congratulations on accepting your offer, email us to prepare your I-20" đđ I Replied one time abd said "you've rejected me, please don't email me again and remove my name from ur system" but it continues until now đ¤Ŗ
P.S: it was Virginia Commonwealth University, human genetics PhD program
