These programs need to do the right thing and send out rejections to candidates they have no intention of admitting. It's wrong for programs to string along candidates who never even received an interview which means that candidate is never going to be admitted but whom is still holding out hope because in spite of that no rejection has been sent. Send the rejections so people can move on from limbo. Geez already. "Your application is still under review " -- really? After all your interviews and the number of people you have already accepted you are still telling a candidate that -- just send the rejection letter. Programs are worried about a candidates "professionalism" maybe they should reflect on themselves and how they treat candidates "people, humans" they have no intention of admitting. Ethics.
