Q: 5-18-25
FR: 5-20-25 from Torie Doherty-Munro (Dan's assistant)
Nudge: 7-3-25 (since their timeline was 4–6 weeks)
PR: 7-10-25
Nice, very personalized and polite rejection. Torie was lovely to speak with and offered helpful feedback. She didn’t finish the full and stopped midway but was transparent about where and why, which I really appreciated.

ER: 6-17-25
Kind personalized rejection from Dan himself, not a form and not from his assistant! My work "isn't a match" for him.
