Do acceptances come out before rejections?
Originally Answered: do graduate schools send out acceptance letters before rejections? There is usually more than one period of acceptances and rejections. The earliest acceptances will go to students who they really want to go out of their way to recruit. These students may get notified months in advance.
In what order do colleges send acceptance letters?

Do universities send acceptance letters all at once?
Not all colleges send their letters at the same time. One year, the University of Washington in Seattle sent out a large number of acceptance letters, then a week later they sent out a second group of letters.
Do acceptance letters come first?
No. For undergrad admissions, that is done all at one time (within a day) and everyone is notified at once if they are admitted or rejected or placed on the wait list. For rolling admissions, those admitted are notified first. The longer you wait the greater the chance you will be rejected.
Do colleges send out acceptance letters before rejection letters?
Can universities take back offers?
Yes, colleges can and do rescind offers of admission. They will do so for poor grades on your final transcript and/or for school expulsions, suspensions, honor violations, and tangles with the law depending on the situation. They will want to know the circumstances and will evaluate the situation case by case.
Can a university reverse a decision?
First of all, as mentioned above, most college admissions decisions are final and cannot be reconsidered. Some colleges, especially major private schools, do not consider appeals for any reason.
Do universities send rejection letters first?
“Do universities send rejection letters first?” No. Remember that, at the end of the day, universities do not know for certain who will accept and who will not. So they generally want to get acceptances for their offers before they send rejections.
How long after acceptance did you get a rejection letter?
In my experience I got a rejection letter approximately 6 weeks after I got letters of acceptance (and these were both University of California Schools, so in the same Academic Structure). By that time I had accepted an offer, so it was kind of irrelevant.
Why do schools send acceptances and rejections early?
No one wants to be the last to send notifications, because they risk that the student will have already picked a school with earlier notification. There is usually more than one period of acceptances and rejections. The earliest acceptances will go to students who they really want to go out of their way to recruit.
Will the University tell you why you were rejected?
No, the university won’t tell you why you were rejected. If the head of your program will tell you is questionable. “You were good but others were better at this time” is about all you are going to ever get. They may not even answer the phone for you.
