Re: Fall 2012 Admissions and Rejections
Institution: University of Michigan at Ann Arbor
Program: PhD in mathematics
Decision: Email saying they were reviewing my application, and asking whether I was still interested.
Notification date: March 9th 2012
Notified through: Email
Posted on GF: Yes
Comments: The email included "given the strength of your application, I would not be surprised to learn that you have already been admitted to some of the best graduate programs," then mentioned the strength of Michigan's number theory group (I'd specified that was one of the reasons I was applying in my statement of purpose). So unexpectedly an extremely flattering correspondence. Michigan was always a back-up though, and I actually never really completed my application; two of my letter of recommendation writers forgot to send their letters (well, one of the two finally sent it in, but a month late), but I didn't hassle them about it because I'd already been accepted to Princeton. Really, I should've contacted Michigan a long time ago to withdraw my application, which I've now done.

Comments: I was really hoping to get in here. Unfortunately, the e-mail said they likely won't be able to make any more funding offers until after 4/15, but they will notify me if this changes before. Obviously, this raises a BIG dilemma having already received offers with funding . So if you got in here and don't plan on attending, please decline at your earliest convenience!

Proves you can get in to great places with the most awful GRE math subject test scores. Suck it, ETS! Now I'll have a hard time deciding where to go. There are to many factors to weigh.

I too am curious to hear the autopsy results if dasgut is comfortable sharing what he thinks happened. Between his performance in the pure math master's program and great subject GRE score, I would have expected more nibbles, even though there were no safety schools in the mix.
Re: Fall 2012 Admissions and Rejections
Dasgut, if you know one of your references very well, why don't you have him or her contact one of the graduate directors on your behalf to see what went wrong? I also think you have a strong profile and its extremely strange that you did not get in anywhere this year.
