I was one of the applicants for one of their graduate programs. After submitting my application, I emailed them several times and they never replied. I tried to call their department several times, and they either didn't pick up the phone calls or didn't provide helpful information. I knew by the time that I shouldn't have applied to them. When they finally declined my application, they don't even try to address my name. They put "Dear Applicant," in the email as if I don't have a name.
It's not the rejection that make me upset, it's how they handle applicants. I got rejected politely by some schools and I wasn't upset because they replied my emails quickly every single time and offer me helps through the application process.
I have 3.95 GPA and a publication published in my undergrad study. I got into some top 50 private schools' graduation programs.
I don't recommend anyone to apply to their graduate program because I don't think they really review your application carefully at all.
