1st reject from Yale BME PhD

发邮件问了之前陶瓷的教授，他说list已经出来，上面没有我，并帮我分析问题可能是我的托福，他说是reading，我怀疑是typo，应该speaking，我的reading 28，speaking 只有20，Yale是我很想去的学校之一，可惜没想到会卡在托福成绩，按如此趋势，今年要全聚德了orz， 托福是硬伤，sad。（附教授回复邮件内容）

Sorry for not getting back sooner, I have been very busy writing a grant proposal and I missed your email.
Unfortunately, while your application packet has some very solid material in it, our ranked list for
admissions has just been sent out from the BME Director of Graduate Studies, and I am so sorry that your name is not on it.   There are a lot of factors that go into these rankings, but I would say that it is likely that your Toefl test scores, especially in the reading part, are lower than the range for  folks who are typically admitted, so this might have played a part in the decision.

I am certainly sorry about this, but I wanted to tell you so that you can focus your attention on other programs you might have applied to.

发出来共勉，希望大家以后申请Yale BME 的时候好好考托福！

phd申请中头一次听说因为托福卡人，哎move on了

雖然是拒信 但這個prof好nice阿！ 看得出樓主真的很優秀哇

不敢不敢，我background一般，这教授确实挺nice的，可惜还是没能录取

啊，不知道这个list出来以后多久会收到official的回复。Anyway，pat pat，楼主别灰心~
