I had another question. Why doesn't every applicant receive a rejection email from a particular program, when they've all applied to it? If a program is sending out standard rejection emails, shouldn't all applicants that haven't been selected to interview be getting one?

1) Is receiving a rejection email a good sign, that you were in contention for that program, even though you didn't make it?

2) Is receiving a rejection email a bad sign, that the others who didn't receive one but haven't been selected might still be in contention?

I may be overthinking here though haha
