Doctoral Coordinators:
Rejecting an Application

2. Rejecting an Application
NOTE: Unlike Admitting or Waitlisting an application, Rejected applications do not need Vice Dean’s approval or review.
A coordinator may choose to reject an application before moving the application to the Faculty Review or Committee Review pools for reviews. This may occur because the coordinator deems the application to be of extremely low likelihood to be an accept or waitlist decision or the coordinator got feedback outside of Admit on the applicant (i.e. received faculty feedback).
Regardless of the reason, there are several ways to Reject an Application in Admit, which can be done from any of the pools, excluding the Top Pool.
